South India Roadtrip To Kodaikanal p2 - Foreign Girl, Road Rage & Exotic Fruits In The Mountains

[@rsundar1973]

The boy is so sweet helping his mom at 9:56. God bless them.

[@lifeisbeautiful9347]

Thank you for not bargaining the price with the cute fruit vendor

[@JohannaNorth]

Would not have even dreamed of doing that with the sweet little gentleman! 🥰

[@peterwalters1718]

Tamarillo and Passion Fruit are common and popular here in New Zealand. Good to see them readily available and cheap in the hills of South India

[@samali108]

Yes they are really cheap for sure. 230 rupees is less about $3 (U.S.A). That would cost you at least $30 in a farmers' market here.

[@astronautnestar]

02:35 that part lmao. Your sense of humor is good tho.😂🤣😂🤣

[@kash1974]

Johanna, you look very spiritual. Effulgent, that is. It seems that India's spirituality has rubbed onto you. It's so beautiful!!

[@vveeresh100]

In this journey you saw two different type of india,one the people who are on those car who overtook you and the other one was the fruit seller's.

Hi Johanna, I'm from the U.S. I enjoyed your video btw 😊it's so cinematic,You deserve more subs so I feel you should do a husband tag (if you want).

[@JohannaNorth]

Thank you Natalia ☺️. Yes, I think I'll be doing husband tags in my upcoming videos

That little fruit shop guy..trying to dictate her..mother ..while she's telling the price.. That's funny. Her mother be like..look beta, I'm the one who taught you..all these..😂

[@vickylightspeed2750]

he is just translating the amount she said in tamil to english for them....she just asked him to translate the amount in english

[@jayakrishnan5041]

He is a good businessman.

Hopefully has a bright future ahead of him! ❤️

I hate SUV drivers!

[@narendravw]

@@JohannaNorth I own & drive a SUV but do not bother others or honk. Overtaking a car & a bus at once in Ghats, you need real calculation + a powerful car. :):)

[@virginialeblue8366]

Do you not wear seatbelts for safety?

[@_billuraj_]

The one that the fruit vendors called as "Seetaphal" is actually a local variety of custard apple, they are either bright red or pinkish green when ripe. Extremely rich in antioxidants .. one variety (Soursop - Prickly Custard Apple) even has a considerable replacement probabilities/ alternative to chemo therapy in relation to cancer.. the one that is forest green in color and that has soft fleshy thorns on it.. Google search for "custard apple varieties in India."

[@AmitPatel-mg2yw]

Nice

[@princeshrivastava8146]

Go to shimla.. Manali.. (Himachal pradesh).. Ok

I've been to Manali and a Spiti tour :)

[@akshaypendyala]

Even i dont like those type of idiots ob road, they better stay in home! And btw the views are so cool. I saw a video in which you visited IKEA but you should have visited other places too, telangana has many breathtaking landscapes. Hope you visit soon. Wishes from hyderabad🙂

[@JohannaNorth]

Now we all gotta stay home but I hope they stay even after the lockdown! 🤪 Great to hear you've seen my other vlogs too! I'm sure Telangana has many stunning places, it's too bad we didn't get to visit much while living in AP. Even on the IKEA/Hyderabad trip we only stopped for a few days for home shopping since we were on a roadtrip, to move from Vizag to Kerala. But will surely visit in future too! ☺️

[@vaibhavjain3116]

Lots of idiots and untrained drivers on Indian roads. That guy was one of them. Best to avoid such people as many of them are rowdy or drunkards too, and things can escalate in India quickly. Stay safe. And a great vlog!

[@JohannaNorth]

Ah yes, this is one of my biggest issues about driving in India! Even if I was a good driver, I'd never be able to trust the other driver was too. And I just don't have that 360° vision and quick enough reaction skills in the chaotic indian traffic 😅🤷‍♀️

[@vaibhavjain3116]

@@JohannaNorth True. Eventually if driving becomes a necessity then no choice but have to. Here driving is to react as it comes in front of you and follow your own way, overthinking is never helpful. My own thinking is that, i must drive safely; if someone honk or want way, i try to give way even if other person is wrong, no protest; never show gestures or look in such people's direction. Just mind my business. Eventually everything is controlled by God. And Indians literally place their trust in this. Hare Krishna!

[@ajayagrawal4435]

U like everything Indian

[@periyavela]

That fruit seller lady told 250 in Tamil ...but that boy told 220 in English ... ha ha ha...

[@JohannaNorth]

Oh wow! 😁 But I don't think they ended up losing anything because I told them to keep the change as a tip for such good, friendly service! 😊

[@HARSHADtp]

You are wrong she said eranoot erupath means 220 only

[@samali108]

You found it funny only because you know the language!

[@Charlie-yf6qt]

Nice vlog, you should force your husband to take part in it more often though lol. Also its obvious that the fruit seller asked for way more that the original price but it shouldnt matter as long as your can afford it. Not like those 50-100 extra will make them rich enough to live a luxurious lifestyle and you would see them in a expensive restaurant the next day. Nor would it make you poor. That lady hardly sells any of them up there anyways. A fruit seller in city would make much more. PS the kid was cute, enthusiastic to make you try the passion fruit and quoted a cheaper price than what his mother told him for which he received a little flak there from the mother. Good on you for not bargaining with them!

[@JohannaNorth]

Thank you! I'm definitely trying to get the hubby more on the camera too ☺️ he's more natural than me actually, but is just more of a private person so it takes a bit of getting used to 😁 And the little boy and the lady were so nice and helpful that I couldn't have imagined haggling! They even let us taste so many things before buying anything ❤️🙏 I do avoid scammers and those who only try to charge me more for being a foreigner, but I never try to get the cheapest price. I'm willing to pay for something's worth and if people are nice 😊

​@@JohannaNorth It Is sad to see kids like him helping his parents earn a living at the cost of his own childhood, i.e., school, play time, etc. I love your vlog. You guys are cool. Enjoy the trip.

[@JohannaNorth]

@@srv232 Of course it is and when someone like him is working so hard and is so so kind and polite, I wouldn't even dream of haggling! :)

[@riseandshine5912]

Grim Sheaper for your info these villagers are quite honest in their prices. They do not scam like the city/town vendors. they make a honest living. In my opinion they paid far to less than they would pay in the city. Try standing in the sun by the road hoping a car stops by. Its difficult. I wonder if they ever make profit Rs 1000 a day. Trust me, I have traversed the length and breadth of India, and its in these remote locations that I give without bargaining. It would be a sin to do so. Peace.

[@Charlie-yf6qt]

@@riseandshine5912 ​ Grats on repeating what I said. Only if you learn to read and comprehend before getting offended and shooting off in a random direction. I live here. I know the struggles like I mentioned in the line: "Not like those 50-100 extra will make them rich enough to live a luxurious lifestyle and you would see them in a expensive restaurant the next day. Nor would it make you poor. That lady hardly sells any of them up there anyways". Who are you disagreeing and arguing with again ? Read the whole thing before nitpicking and getting offended next time..smh

[@Just_forfun9140]

I think when there is an obnoxious driver is in a rage, give way and let him/her go, instead of getting into an accident, then all parties will be happy.
