Thanks ❤ btw which part U are from?

[@19UCH001_RAHUL_DAS]

actually we bengalis say "Dada" only. The taxi driver said Saurav Ganguly because Saurav Ganguly is a cricketer in India and he is from kolkata and we say him "Dada" as a mark of respect. so Chris and Max you can greet any male guy as "Dada" and Female as "Didi". and yes don't forget to add "Dhannabad" 😅

Kolkata is the "old guard" of India. People are nice and chill, and can be compared to other laid back, historical cities like Seville, Marseille and St. Petersburg.

[@indranidasgupta8982]

Agreed, and ironically, it's the newest "old" city in India... created by the Brits as a reflection of London. When I was in London, I was bowled over by how much it reminded me of my city of birth -- Kolkata.

[@someonejustsomeone1469]

@@indranidasgupta8982 maybe it has to with the Victorian architecture that influenced both cities in the 19th century.

[@tuhinsockey]

Hey Chris, the yellow colour taxi's in Kolkata city are all Ambassador cars which were manufactured by Kolkata based Hindustan Motors. They shut down the production of Ambassador cars in 2014. Ambassador cars running as Taxi's in Kolkata are in their end of life as they don't meet the pollution emmision norms. So in a few years all Ambassador cars will vanish from Kolkata streets...

[@deepakjena3628]

I am from odisha . But I love Bengali culture and tradition . Kolkata is a historical and mesmerising city . Great people have been born on west bengal soil like Ramakrishna paramahansa , Swami Vivekananda, The greatest devotee of goddess Tara named BAmakhepa and the greatest film maker Satyajit Ray .

You are all foreigners surprised that Bengali is the most developed language in India. Statistics & Data reports that the top 10 most spoken languages in the world, in order, are: English Mandarin Chinese Hindi Spanish French Bengali Modern Arabic Portuguese Russian Urdu ChatGPT Bengali and Hindi literature are both rich and diverse, with a long history of contributions from many talented writers, poets, and playwrights. Bengali literature is considered to be one of the most significant literary traditions in India, with a rich and varied body of work that spans centuries. Hindi literature, on the other hand, is also rich and diverse, but it is not as extensive as Bengali literature. However, both Bengali and Hindi literature have made important contributions to Indian culture and are worth exploring.

Walk through Kumartuli artisans district, Birla temple, Birla planetarium, Victoria memorial, Dakshineshwar temple and Belur Math by ferry, College street bookwalk and coffeehouse..you'll love it!

If you are in these type of situation where you need the Internet urgently. You can just ask anyone for hotspot. Probably the can driver could have helped. Another thing is that you could turn on international roaming on your native sim card. That will be a little expensive but it will serve the purpose for urgent situations as you guys travel so much.

At the Kolkata airport you can either book for a taxi or bus ,after the arrival you can check outside there will be a ticket counter, if you do not prefer a Uber. and if you take any taxi please try to bargain the price, otherwise they will quote extravagant price. Stay safe and enjoy your stay in India.

[@anootoshsarkar686]

Brother it's really good to see you in my city, the city of Joy ❤ Here are a few things you should keep in mind: * Public transport network of Kolkata is great, economic. You'll get busses, Autos to almost any corner of the city from almost anywhere....so no need to take expensive taxi rides (likes this one) * We address strangers on the street as 'Dada' (means elder brother, the female noun is 'Didi' or elder sister). Sourav Ganguly (the cricketer) is from Kolkata and he is reknowned as 'Dada' * You are in a Historic city, the British capital of India. Hence, you'll find some parts of the city is still stuck in their 50's heritage * Truth is, the city is still somewhat economically backward than some other states of India. So, you'll need to adjust with certain 'shortcomings'. Don't worry it's not too bad though, there is still a modern (and luxurious) Kolkata you can enjoy * 'Nomoshkar' is the Bengali version of 'Namaskar' or 'Namaste'. 'DhannoBaad' is the Bengali version of 'Dhanyavaad'

I just chanced to see your vlog of your arrival in Kolkata (Calcutta) this afternoon.Well I am one amongst many, who had suggested that you should come over to Kolkata an ideal destination for food vloggers. Welcome to the city of joy. By the way since you can speak Hindi you will follow Bengali easily. Since we Bengalis love our "Rosogolla" (Rasgulla in Hindi) the letter O finds a place of importance in all our vocabulary. Thank you - dhanyavaad is dhonobad in Bengali, namaskar is nomoskar , Calcutta is Kolkata, Gariahat is Goriahat and so on. Have a good time.
