10:03 On the contrary, Indians do more digital transactions in terms of volume than USA. You can even see the QR Code on the shop. Even the autowallahs use digital wallet. But, at the same time, it's good practice as a first time tourist to keep cash for emergency.

We agree. It is good practice. And it turns out that was the only way because UPI does not work at all for tourists since it requires you to have an Indian bank account at minimum. Many shops also did not accept my USD Visa card. Very frustrating

Hospitality is kind of like second nature to Indians..it's been taught from the childhood. We present our best selves to the guests(doesn't matter if we are really good or bad people). It's almost hilarious in some situations. Say, in a household the family members are fighting or doing some other nasty stuff, or may be they are toxic to each other, but they will instantly become the most polite and gentle people if a guest arrives. Some people will keep their house dirty or messed up year around, but they will clean and arrange everything before a guest arrives. So, on many occasions it's primarily driven by the image consciousness and societal impression and the perception of others. Add to that our "easy to get amused" mindset, that makes us curious to anything that's even little out of the ordinary...foreigners being one of them. I am not saying everyone is like that, there are many people who genuinely like caring about guests and strangers. After all "Atithi Debo Bhava"(Guests are Divine) is a core belief of Indian culture along with "Basudhaiba Kutumbakam"(Every people from everywhere on earth are relatives)

There's journey , people's , festivals , traditions, trains , metros , auto rickshaws , etc etc ....Glad i will get to see how you guys experiences and love for my motherland ...i hope by end of your tour you both understand why it's simply called Incredible India , so no spoilers . Hospitality is like a in built quality for us indians. Btw about the veg , i promise you few days in and you won't be able to differentiate or miss non veg when you eat so many i mean literally 100s of dishes made with pure veg ....but no worries ...india also has biryani and all other non veg "mouth watering" stuffs for you know if you still need it . I personally am blessed to be able to enjoy both and you will get to know what I am talking about very soon in your journey throughout india.

To be honest, in India, the digital payments ecosystem is more developed than in most European nations or other places I have been to, thanks to the ubiquity of UPI and online wallets. So when Rhett says he had to withdraw cash since all transactions were cash-based, you could even see a QR code being displayed at the tiny local grocery store where he paid via cash. Hope you guys visit the former capital of India (Kolkata) as well, instead of the mainstream Delhi-Agra-Rajasthan-Goa tour!

[@RhettandClaire]

How is it more developed though. It doesn’t even work without the user needing an Indian bank account and phone number. We’ve travelled all over the world and never had to draw cash because everywhere accepts Visa cards and Apple Pay which we use on our Apple Watch. I’m not sure how it can be called more developed than most European nations.

[@TarangaDatta]

@@RhettandClaire just because European nations/ the US/ Canada etc and their digital payments ecosystem is reliant on Apple and it leaves their citizens handicapped in terms of digital payments in India, one cannot conclude India’s behind in terms of digital payments. Although Apple is growing in India, it is yet to reach the majority of the population who have Android devices and do not require Apple Pay. Indians mostly use Google Pay/ PhonePe/ PayTM for their online transactions which have UPI, wallet, payments bank as well as other features. As a foreigner, you can use your international cards for POS transactions in India. If you want to avail PayTM/ other online wallets, you may load money using the Airtel Payments Bank account which you can easily obtain on getting an Airtel SIM card at a nominal fee. Do the two systems operate differently? Yes. But can any person easily perform online payments/ transactions in India? Also yes. Just because the Indian system is different from that of a few countries, doesn’t make it inferior in quality/ technicality/ data privacy. Apple Pay wasn’t operationalised keeping the privacy aspect in mind, among others reasons. I could take a calculated guess and claim that the number of users/ daily transactions of online payments in India is more than the entire population of perhaps Europe and the US combined. And if such a massive system can function robustly, I’m sure certain things are rightly in place…just as they should be.

9:25 You said cash is mostly used from Shop to Travel. This is simply wrong. There is UPI everywhere. No need to carry money. India has higher digital transactions than China and USA combined. I didn't use ATM since last 1/½ years. Because nearly everything is online, from small shops to traveling.

[@RhettandClaire]

Foreigners can’t use those UPIs. We are not wrong and had a very difficult time paying without cash.

"Atithi Devo Bhava" 🙏🏻❤️ which means guests are God to us! Enjoy your time mate! I miss my country which is why I end up seeing videos like this on KZbin!! 😆

Hey guys welcome to India. At park when you saw the boys there were lot of decorated threads wraped around their right hand. That is "RAKHI" or "RAKHSHA BHANDHAN" IT is festival of brothers and sisters in which sisters tie rakhi around their hand which signifies that she is asking her brother to protect her, to support her etc. And brothers take vow to protect them in any problem they (sisters) if get into any trouble.

[@RhettandClaire]

Very beautiful. Thank you for explaining that to us 🙏🏼

[@GoddessFreyaa]

@@RhettandClaire that rakhi will protect her brother from all troubles also.

Finally a foreigner who is really playing good cricket in India . I guess you are from south africa that's why 😁

[@vinodchhiller724]

Trafic rules here are really messed up, i will say. But considering the fact that we are 2nd most populated country after china, i think its understandable. Dont be shocked about traffic here 😃

I am sure it was a amazing ride for you in india but thats just 30℅ of our nation. I will suggest you to visit Rajasthan,Manila,Shimla and much more. Love from india❤️❤️

[@ayanchakraborty4678]

India is the world leader in digital transactions! We have kind of stopped carrying cash infact.

[@RhettandClaire]

Lucky for you locals. For the foreigners this system does not work at all. You require an Indian bank account and phone number at minimum. Both of which we cannot get.

[@amriteshkumar4881]

Thank you for your kind words... Much appreciated.. God bless.. You did hit some nice cricket shots

The best thing in your video is the old monument structure where is the beautiful Arabic calligraphy on pink stones ,great artwork 👌 .

The best part for me is when he was playing cricket with the locals. You can find cricket in every street and every corner in India, We call it gully cricket. Edit- I want to congratulate on the authenticity of your content. You came to experience and show the real India unlike other foreign travellers who come with prejudice and bias showing what India was viewed as many many years ago and not the real one, the present India. I won't say don't show the negatives but be authentic and true to what you see and experience.

[@freedomhacking]

Hope you feel better, Rhett! Seeing your cricket game makes me think you're in perfect shape already 😁

You’d think so! But then a stomach bug came shortly after😂😭

After watching so much of tourists vlogs experiencing india for the first time, as an indian I want to somehow experience india for the first time too like them, specially the food😞 can't happen, it's home and always feel like home😊

17:06 It's actually an Indian festival called rakhi , where a sister ties rakhi ( the band's you see on the wrist) to her brother and swears that they will protect each other..

[@friendlyvimana]

Can i just say that this is by far the most beautiful video i have saved in my favourite playlist. Thanks from india, it was a pleasant surprise to know that you guys are from south africa. Don't take me as a racist, but i like to know it when someone is not from the us, my reason is that people from other nations seem to be a little more rooted and that's something i just like anyone else appreciate. Moments i loved, seeing you guys have some expected and unexpected culture shocks, like so many animals on the road, etc. Also liked to see him play cricket in india, her tasting 'gulabjamun',and many more things. Lots of love.

The only gap in understanding i felt was regarding mode of payment . These days no one really pays in cash even the big cities use PhonePe, Gpay, Paytm or other UPI based mode of payment.. Overall thank you .. welcome 🤗
