Market Mayhem in Kolkata, India 🇮🇳
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- After spending a few hours relaxing in my luxury hotel I ventured out onto the streets. It was a stark contrast, leaving the spacious lobby where soothing piano music filled the air to be confronted with crowds of people and the loud and never ending "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP" of the traffic.
The Oberoi Grand is in the New Market area of Kolkata, where the streets are lined with vendors who have no shortage of potential customers. The area is very popular and it's obvious why. The level of competition that exists there drives the price of goods to bargain levels.
Knockoff clothes are sold openly, even in front of the actual legit shops that sell that brand. Even those big brand shops are selling their wares at a deep discount as they are forced to compete with vendors selling fake versions right on their doorstep.
I had my bagged my first bargain at a juice shop. There were three juice shops that looked almost identical right next to each other. That sounds like a recipe for some good prices to me. A pint glass of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice was only 50 rupees and the vendor topped me up with an extra half a glass for free. Compare that to the video I made in Dubai where I paid over 500 rupees for about half the volume of the same drink. Just a 20 X value difference!!!!
I explored further, avoiding the local scammers and touts and found a Pani Puri stall. It looked like this was going to be a street food vlog. I actually had no idea what this video was going to be about when I made it but I just pressed record and decided to figure it out on the fly. I wandered back into the market streets and then decided it would be more of a market spree video than a food one.
A 350 pair of knockoff Puma shorts and a 200 knockoff Nike t-shirt later and yer man was happy but further bargains and delicious food were still to come his way.
I have one more video from Kolkata that I'll be making public before the end of the month. It's an hour long and full of fun and adventure.

This is an introvert's nightmare.
introvert:so i just need to buy 1 thing
india:yes
introvert:fuck
For illegal dealers
Yes 😂😂😂 we get used to it tho.
@@gargeebasak9648 That's a good thing since you get to improve your social skills (bargaining) and interact with people unlike the lonely people in Western countries.
@@zerohero5753 we don't tho. We just ignore them. If u interact with them, u r bound to get scammed
Man I'm Indian and I don't think I could bargain like you 😂👌
hahaha, mee too, i like his awareness
So funny to see the exact same things I saw whilst in Kolkata. Your senses are always activated.
Hahaha. Lol. Seriously.
I feel same bro
😂😂🤣🤣
I love how Dale handles any kind of chaotic situation very calmly
27:00 Imagine someone saying "you want kids?" At a rando clothes shop. That's creepy.
I love how confident dale is. He just walks in to any situation and gets on with things. He's not scared or intimidated. At the end he just walks in and orders, goes to sit down next to some people he doesn't know and then ends up chatting to them. I guess that's why he's such a good vlogger, he does things I certainly wouldn't, but by doing so he has such amazing experiences. The confidence also pays off when haggling for stuff.
Yes but like he wil never meat the people again so like
In india you wouldn't want to fear you can freely travel even mid night
he is extroert
@@chandubansode124 you sure about that
@@delayedcreator4783 in most places it's generally safe but there are exceptions
Dale is so friendly. He just randomly says hi to other people walking and it comforts me a lot. Keep it up Dale!!
But he needs to learn little bit local language , to fit in the population , bcoz only 20-30% of population speaks English in india .
@@dranshul9276 😂 who said brother more people speak English in india than United Kingdom .. india is 2nd largest English speaking country ...
@@Subsribeeeeeb hahaha...everytime mocking nd trolling population huh
Also He Could Call Himself as
Dale Quetepego.
@@Subsribeeeeebbruh-- did u just say that? English is a language and indian English is a whole other language 💀
I will die of laughing how people stare at you😂
Man! The way you entered and made space for you in that crowded restaurant at the end.
I would have stayed out only untill a whole table is not empty 🤣
You are so comfortable and with full of confidence in every situation.
Kepp it up 🙏🏻
Doesn't he sound like winkus from district 9?
He even made them feel comfortable/jelly
@@actuary33😂
@@MyStupidCZcamsHandle he does dont deny it
@@actuary33 I actually don’t know the movie it’s just a funny name that does kinda sound like it could be him lol
Dale , honestly I think that you are the only one perhaps who stayed in Oberoi grand and also bargained in the shop of New Market, Kolkata..
Do you think white people have showering of money, they also struggle hard for the money dude.
@@tenzintenkyong8433 yup
India is very beautiful country.....around in this country many prominent people was there not was there are still...but nowadays some people thought is very disgusting. Sorry for that
Bargaining is a kind of fun bro , so chill
@laughter go and fight for farmers first, gyaan ki dukan
U won my heart when U asked the kid if he wants the watch....Much love from Kolkata India ❣️
Then the kid won mine by saying no but it looks like he desperately wanted that.
Kyuki hame sikhaya jaata hai ki ajnabiyo se cheeze nhi leni chahiye
@@shubhamhota3587 nope . I guess he didn't understand
14:42
@@panchajanya8599 nah dale was gesturing towards the shop. The kid understood him but said no. Very nice kid. Has etiquette
The great thing about travel videos like this is that you finish up learning so much about people from different cultures. You see how they really are, how they speak, how they behave, their attitude to other people and so on. So now, I feel I have really learnt a lot about Glaswegian culture.
Whenever I watch videos like this it always amazes me how the shopkeepers know exactly where their stock is in the massive piles.
Your shop, then why are you not in your shop , why are you wandering in streets ??👌👏👏
😂
ROFL🤣😂 That was good one👍🤣😂
lol
Nobody is wearing mask
@@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780 it's before corona actually.
India is great. Hardworking people and you see how you get the most attentive service everywhere. Im addicted to walking the streets of India 🇮🇳
😊
Write in India in dielhi I study Jawaharlal Nehru University
Visit the 7 sisters of North East India..I'm sure you'll love it
@@BLazingAl97 racist place
Oh u r so mistaken...how ignorant r u......u must b brainwashed...by someone.....
Hey Dale, it was seriously great watching you visit Kolkata my hometown and bargaining through the entire market. It was also wonderful to inculcate more about the place and helped me to know my roots better.
You did bargaining in the famous "NEW MARKET" area in Kolkata. Being a citizen of Kolkata I have bargained countless times in various markets but this place is exceptional. Hats off to you man😁
Bhai maal ta phuchka ke pani puri bollo.Tokjol ke soup.Aar jeno nah dekhi eke ekhane
This man is epic.He is putting shorts over his jeans to check the fit.
There is no way making a Video without saying , "Big Strong Legs"

Aye
Hallo
Of all the vloggers out there ..I find Dale vlogging the best...so authentic...other vloggers have too much facetime... being an Indian i myself feel it's so crowded..not sure how Dale has managed to do great vlog inspite of madness
Be careful with Indian roads...you won my heart when you told that boy to get Him a watch ❤️
One of the very few vloggers with HONEST and "It is what it is, no sugarcoat" content. Being an Indian, I can confidently say, you showcase the real India Dale (good as well as bad) and that is why you are my favourite CZcamsr because I love freaking reality and thats what you have on offer.
I am from sri lanka, love to see my brother india, all i can see is, india has much less scammers compair to sri lanka, they directly says a fair price to tourists, lots of respect for that❤️, indians always nice active cooler than us😊
P
Nope we are equal... Depends upon a person how he is😇
Never been to Srilanka but I doubt we have less scammers than Srilanka.
Unless you hear someone getting raped the other day
Sri Lanka is a very nice and clean country🙏
Dale could very easily pass as a sports commentator. I think his commenting style is one of the things that makes his vlogs so entertaining and informative at the same time.
He is so perfect at things like bargaining and crossing roads .
To cross that much of a crowded road, I would require at least a minute .😥
The only 40 min vlog I've seen without skipping a part. Enjoyed the way you described every moment going through your mind while recording.
Yeah true.. this was so fun and cute lol😂😂😂
I like his style of video, I like the amateur and rawness of his videos. Most travel vloggers today are more worried about drone shots and slow motion fancy camera angles. They end up looking more like a music video. I’d love to see more Indonesia videos, they rocked!
RockPhonic - VLOGS you should try bald and bankrupt - lots of travel, India he did lots of videos.
I agree 100%. The most interesting thing in these videos are the people living in each city, I love the interactions. I feel like I'm learning things with him. Some negative, some positive.
Agree👍👍
@@DMWBN3 yes bald and bankrupt is my fav among all these. That guy is on different level lol
thats exactly what i love about Dale’s videos, theyre the real RAW travelling vlogs, he also went as far as putting subtitles for us.
I'm also from kolkata and love to watch your video and the way you're being friendly with them...❤
have been watching dale’s vlog for a couple years now and i must say he is really bold. i have watched other vloggers visiting india and they are kind of hesitant to try out the street foods which i totally understand (because i would be afraid too). however, looking at dale’s openness to giving the food a try is such a pleasant sight! thanks dale!
You just won my heart when you offered the watch for the poor kids, actually they didn't understand you properly.Great work dale
Ya i think so
Or they thought he was creepy. A foreign man offering to buy children things can be perceived as creepy.
Dale you are so kind, offering to buy them the watch. Im sure they understood but they didnt want to take advantage. Good kids.
@@samanthatollstam6302 not really as per their reaction I'm pretty sure they was confused or they just passing by and seeing those watches but not any intention with achieving or buying it
I'm not even from India but I love watching all this series, it is interesting to see other country's cultures and how they live.
Agreed. I can't travel internationally this year, so I'm doing it through CZcams.
Stating the most obvious. You have a lot to learn about life if this is your (tiny) paradigm.
@@Stoney-Jacksman what does it mean
@@mohammedd270nothing that persons crazy lol
Roaming around in india is so awkward for foreigners bcz evry1 stares you like u r a kind of alien or what 😂😂😂
True I've been to India and people were staring at me like they will gonna eat me
dude love your vlogs from india. a wee bit of fresh perspective as you say.
The guy was asking"do u want kids"🤣🤣🤣... This why stand up comedy is doing well in India...we have contents everywhere 😅😅😅
Trying to understand Scottish and Indian accent at the same time, now i forgot English
Bahaha bahgurgle snort...thats funny!
Ded😭😂😂😂
same
🤣🤣🤣
Wee bit
Most Honest and Friendliest people you can find in Kolkata. And its the cheapest and bestest place in all over India I can Assure you... Plz come and visit here soon Dale Sir ❤️❤️❤️love from Kolkata
Hi
Thank you Dale for these fabulous videos on your travels, your very brave the way you are happy to try the different foods from the street sellers, I know that I couldn’t I would be so worried about the their hygiene practices!! Take care
Dale: I am from Scotland.
Random Bihari: I am from Bihar.
No brains!
I don't get it can someone explain?
Are u a stupid ass
You Are joking Where Is Bihar, Bihari Great History
Come To Bihar
Panipuri is called Phuchka in Bengal. Also, it is supposed to be cold rather than the hot ones of Mumbai. We also have a tamarind water instead of mint water.
in Bangladesh, we also eat hot fuchka. Very interesting! One Bengal but still difference!
Love you from India Kolkata 🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️😍
I am from Kolkata. Me and my friends keep coming here for shopping.Lots of love from Kolkata..💯💕😃🤗
Dale takes no sh*t from nobody with his two strong legs 🦵🏻🦵🏻😂😂💯stay happy & healthy my friend
When I'm sad or bored I roam around in this market lol. It's fun.
I would Prefer Princep Ghat or Belurmath though.. Cause they are peaceful ..
@@birajde3649 Belur math nd Babu ghat for me ✌🏻
Hi there Dale, that was brilliantly done . Awesome Video . Enjoyed every bit watching my home city Kolkata . Thanks again from Auckland, NZ
i live here man and i have never been bold enough to try out clothes in public like you did bravo! and the way you dealt with the touts- man you really have done your research. hope to see you again.
He was so friendly to the people love from india
Dale, you're one of the few travel vlogers I can watch straight through without fast forwarding. Cheers
What a great video clip! I really love the way you present. Everything looks interesting to me. I also would like to visit India like you one day.
Hi Dale, loving your videos. It's good to see you here in Kolkata enjoying. Couple of things to let you know once you are here next time -Do check-in some other 5 star hotels this time - JW Marriott, Westin, Novotel, etc. Oberoi Grand is also good. And when you are crossing the roads, see the traffic lights. Basically, you were trying to cross when the signal was green which means cars will fast pass by even if passengers are on the road. You are not supposed to cross when light is green. You were in New Market, Esplanade. This area is highly crowded on a daily basis. The real Kolkata is much peaceful n lots of cultural places to explore. Let us know next time when you are visiting. And that Puchka was nothing, will help you to taste the real Puchka next time. Kolkata is famous for its food, specially Mishti Doi (sweet curd), Pani Puri (puchka) and egg roll.
Ugliest city in India.
Congratulations you Passed the Super fast bus in Kolkata 😂
Shopkeeper : who is your country?
Dale : Scotland
😂😂
Yaa 😂
Vary kood Inglis...
Atleast he speaks English. Many people in Japan, China or Korea don't speak that much.
@@Sammy58328 right bro... It's just for fun... We need not learn other languages at all... Indian languages have lot of history and technicality behind them... Our languages our pride... We are simply joking
Go to France and try to let them speak English...!! ha ha. We Indians at least try our level best to speak foreign language ( English)
amazing
Ur pure heart will make millions fan of u...the way u give tips and help children to buy t-shirt for them...I like it
Most of vloggers don't come in Kolkata but thanks to you
You are real vlogger 💥
Dale has developed advanced tactics in avoiding shopowners; Two guys tries to get his attention at the same time, Dale counters it by pretending being interested in one of the shops, but quickly says "Nothing for me" then continues walking without even having to say a word to the second shop. Brilliant display of skills Dale!
American brand - Adidas.... Dale, Adidas is german. 😄
Oh yeah, you're right.
No.. It is technically from Israel.
facepalm 😂
@@ryanbob6633 What's an Israel?
@@ryanbob6633 Adolf Dassler sounds quite Israeli to you?
Glad you’re back, I think you took a month or so break from uploading or at least I didn’t see any on my feed but I’m super glad you’re back I love the content from America
Hey mate ! your vlogs are just awesome 😎 Love From India ❤️
Like the way he converts the price of everything.
4:14 dale.....that boy was saying "Puchka" means Pani puri.
Puchka - In Kolkata
yup
Haha
i think market hunts with a bit of street food is my favorite kind of vlog. i have to keep pausing to check out everyone's stalls lol
Just loved this video... Being a bengali i loved the Kolkata vlog.
20:58 Poor guys miscalculated Dale's talent in bargaining
Yeah right.. 150 is much enough for local watches anywhere in india 🇮🇳
bro i wouldve loved to see a bargaining match between Dale and that watch seller
Correct
He is not in his shop because he has no shop ..hes an agent living on commission. Hard sell
I love this guy's.. its really humble person 🥰
Love your confidence dale
35:12 35:42 You're very confident, Dale!
I won't be able to eat if that many people see me like that. That's the benefit of extroverted person.
40 mins passed so quickly I didn't even realized
Didn't REALIZE
Dale you are one of a kind and almost as crazy as Hot Rod Rowdy Roddy Piper.
The non-stop horns honking! They don't seem to realize that it doesn't make the traffic go any faster or get out of their way.
Your trying to offering the kid a watch that is a humanity man, keep this work till your life
his accents makes him sound like he's asking questions all the time
his accent is very tough,it can feel confusing to the man listening is he asking or being angry
definitely he is a crazy scottish
Hahaha great comment...because its true...G'day from Australia
Great Job kolkata gives you the experience which no other place gives hope you loved it ❤️❤️
Please make more videos in kolkata
I have enjoyed your videos
So please make more in kolkata
. Dale is a nice guy. ❤️❤️❤️
Love from West Bengal
21:30 your road crossing is insane..
Wait for the crossing light..
And do follow some poeple when cross the road.
I am from kolkata
Buddy every time pulling hand on road is not works..
Dont do that ..
Sorry man... There is no traffic signal in that place
@@dwaipayanroy3232 I guess there is ..Crossing Near the Esplanade Bus Stand
that light was broken, he couldn't have known
Never use your hand to try and make the cars slow or stop for you. Thats not how it works unfortunately. You must observe and maneuver. You could have easily got yourself killed. Pedestrians are not considered having the right of way on streets like in the west. Be careful
When most Indian 🇮🇳 people are asked this question Who’s your favourite Scotsman 🏴 🇬🇧 ? Many of them will answer :- Gordon Ramsay ( famous 🇬🇧 🏴 Michelin Star celebrity master chef 👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳) or Sir Alex Ferguson ( the legendary Scotsman 🏴 🇬🇧 who revolutionised English football ⚽️ by managing Manchester United ) but if I’m asked the same question on who my favourite Scotsman is my answer will be Dillion THE MAN WITH HIS STRONG LEGS 💪🏼💪🏼🦵🏻🦵🏻🔥🔥 🏴 🏴. My mom visited Scotland 🏴 few years ago and she got me the famous Walkers Shortbread fingers ( butter biscuits 🍪 ) and I immediately fell in love with them after eaten it . I love it so much that I’ve ordered it from abroad and stocked it up in my house . Love your content bro and keep on entertaining us with these amazing travel vlogs of my country . Cheers from New Delhi
Thanks bro !! :)
Lol but why would someone ask you this question? '-'
Love the headshake and facial expressions when Dale eats.

Loads of love from India!!!
I’m indian origin but born in U.K. But one thing you are guaranteed in India whenever I go over there is a total unadulterated assault on all your senses! If you’re a little tired or lethargic but then you hit the streets suddenly your automatically switched on as it’s just hits you from all angles! Love it! Great video mate!
So many shops ! I would be entertained for days haha
He is genuine due to which I don't get bore in watching his videos, nice person.
You are the most humble and brilliant vlog maker who has toured Kolkata and posted your reviews.. thank you for your love and support towards us.. 👏🙏
I love to see, how much is going on streets of india, miss this ambience. Love from Philippines
I just love how he say “no” to the people who’s trying to scam him with hight price like food/clothes and stuff even tho they think he’s tourist and its easy to scam him. GREAT JOB DALE😂😂
He is so kind ❤️
I swear Dale always is awkward with people and I love it 😂😂
Best part: I'm not gonna bargain over strawberries 😂😂
Dale you gave me the confidence to go out in public this past weekend. Thanks
I really want to travel to India one day but watching your video makes me feel I am traveling with you :)
Welcome to our country which will give you lot of fascination and surprise keeping in mind covid situation and climate
Just two days before I started watching your videos and now I have finished watching most of them.
you are just awesome dale
Phuchka as they call in Kolkata is supposed to be had cold as in room temperature. Pani puri and phuchka, even though they look similar, differs vastly in the fillings.
"I don't want to wear rainbow, people will get wrong idea.." hilarious man !!💛😂😂😂
I am from kolkata and after seeing Dale in talk with ordinary peoples who don't understand english and say wrong english this moments are so much funny and interesting also Dale don't know some bengali languages and they both get suprised to each other it's really funny 😁😁😘
Haha 😂 all the locals laughing when the strawberry 🍓 man tried to rip you off.
🤭
The other tout had the cheek to say he shouldn't be bothering him 🙂
Hey @Dale. I am from Kolkata, and was really impressed with the way you handled the crowd. It's difficult enough for us. Hope you enjoyed and visit again ☺️
YOU ARE A GOOD N A HUMBLE PERSON 😃GOD BLESS YOU♥️
