  • Today is my first full day exploring the beautiful city of Kolkata West Bengal. The day started off great heading out to explore and experience my first impressions of the city. After strolling around, I came across a protest and spoke to some locals about what was happening. After, I went to search for cricket jerseys and did some negotiating on the price with a few salesmen. Later in the video, I headed over to Howrah Bridge and stopped by to try out an Egg Roll. During that time, I had a man attempt to rob me but luckily I had zippers on my pockets so when he lunged for my phone he was unsuccessful on grabbing it.

      He's simply the kind of person who loves experiencing incidents like this on his you tube channel, hence the headline and thumbnail. - With respect, and not to denigrate Mac, he is a risk taker; an adrenalin junkie - this way he can get more comments and more likes and more subscribers to his channel - hence he can make more money. - Being a content provider on You Tube is simply a business. I wish him the very best of good luck in his You Tube business (and I'm sure he is making plenty of money - and a lot more than the struggling salesmen he tries to beat down to the lowest price with everything he buys, not because he needs it and can't afford it but simply to boost his own ego and to display this on his channel. With respect, I say good luck to Mac but I don't think he needs high praise for his actions. Jai Hind.

I feel bad some crazy guy did that. Kolkata is a beautiful city and Mac isn't in the best part of Town. They probably never see foreigners.. anyways whatever u said is rubbish. Whatever his goals or motives stop judging him. I enjoy watching his videos in India. He has been to places I've never been too in India. I enjoy his food choices and how he's so humble.

    Hey Mac, I'm from Kolkata as well. If you ever visit the Maidan Market again, always buy jerseys and other stuff from the shops inside the market courtyard, there are entire sections of the market with similar shops lined together for each item - jerseys, cricket equipments, football equipments and so on. You'll always get a much better and realistic price inside. The ones on the footpath, like where you bought the 1st jersey from always have a higher price and also lower quality of products.
    May you have a better experience and a fun trip ahead.

    But always remember this too, never buy from the 1st shop you enquire at, ask their best deal, leave the shop after knowing their best deal. Then go visit other shops, do a research and after that decide from whom to buy.
    When in India never hesitate to bargain.

      Bro, Since you are from Kolkata City, Kindly report to the Local Police about that person based on this video, so that our American Friend Mac who has arrived in our Country shouldn't feel terrifying anymore. He is our guest and till now people in our country have embraced and welcomed him wholeheartedly but his followers are bashing and abusing our Country, which I believe need to be stop. We don't want Mac should regret his visit to India. It's just a humble request.

There are lots of beautiful tourist spots in and around Kolkata which you should cover. The school kids were talking about Victoria memorial (an iconic place), which is very near from Shahid Minar, which you visit. So, a proper tour plan or atleast a google search would work fine for you I believe. Enjoy your stay and happy roaming.
