Delhi, India Isn’t Dirty & Chaotic Everywhere
I am in Gurgaon which is a city south of Delhi but still part of the Delhi metro area and in today's video we are going to visit three different places first a super modern area which is a big contrast to the busy Deli that most people have in mind very different from like The Stereotype Deli then I'm going to try Indian food in a popular restaurant and this one right here has been recommended to me by locals and finally I will visit a local fun fair where I had a not so good experience I think I just I'm getting scammed here to be honest so what is this part of metro deli like let's find out feel free to join okay my hotel is actually right next to a busy Main Road and I hope that I can get a Tuk Tok from here but to be honest I'm actually not sure about that okay this is indeed a very busy road here and yeah I just had a look on Google Maps it should be only like a 10 12 minute ride to where I want to go Namaste do you know where I can get a Tuk Tok I need a Tuk Tok D Tuk Tok I go there yeah okay to clear I thought maybe I can just you know like wave down the Tuk Tok but to be honest I don't even see any Tuk TOS here maybe it would have been easier to just uh book an Uber from my hotel but you know I thought uh taking an Uber is easy and boring okay I see some TK TOS over there hello Namaste you can drive I want to go to Cyber City uh Cyber City cyber hub uh G Gan Cyber City where are you going to Cyber City Cyber City you know come okay how much K 200 only 200 yeah yeah it's very near yeah yeah no give me a fair price please only 5 200 because take uh give me tall tall tall yeah 200 okay I drive with you or with you I with you with you okay okay you guys let me know in the comments if 200 is a fair price obviously I'm still new in India so I don't really know cyber Hub cyber Hub yeah all right drive with him yeah yeah okay but same same price pay this 200 only 200 but I pay him yeah okay Dan okay hell Namaste Namaste okay so I'm not sure how this works here now maybe he is like a like a guy like contributing the passengers and then or maybe he's collecting a commission later from him I'm not sure if you know how this works here please feel free to share your knowledge in the comments I'm always curious to learn about these things so as you can see the traffic today at least on this part of the town is not that bad in case you're wondering what time it is it is early afternoon now so I think that this part of Delhi metro area is not as busy as the Delhi Center so Gan the town where we're going now is basically a satellite city of Delhi so I think if you drive from Delhi City Center to this town it should be in total around 30 minutes only okay so we are here now the Blue Dot and I want to go to this area right here which is called cyber Hub or Cyber City and let's see how many minutes 9 minutes oh to be honest now I'm pretty sure that 200 rupe is too much for this uh length of the journey oh and check it out I see Microsoft LinkedIn and a few other well-known Brands HP so this seems to be like yeah the Cyber Hub maybe some tech companies are here all right and they on the sign I can see cyberhub already so I think we have arrived First Impressions here looks pretty decent and nice ah yeah here's a sign cyber Hub okay D what thank you very much you guys out okay byebye thank you okay so this was to be honest less than 10 minutes so I'm pretty sure now that I paid too much because you remember my holy video where I was with a local guy and we had Tuk Tok rides together which we way longer than this Tok to ride and he told me the fair price for these rides would be 50 rupees usually so whenever something like this happens in my videos and this happened many times before that I'm getting over charts for something and there's always a controversy going on in my comment section then there are the people that say or you shouldn't bargain with the locals over a dollar or two just pay a bit extra you can afford it and on the other side there are the people that saying like oh I'm so sorry you got over charts there this isn't fair you shouldn't pay four times the price just because you're a foreigner so sorry for that so there are always like these two sides of comments in my comment section when I'm getting overcharged for something as a foreigner so to be honest I don't really mind now because in the end it's only like $2 now so it's not the end of the world for me but still it feels a bit you know there's a negative touch to it when you're getting overcharged like four times but yeah feel free to let me know your comments about it in the comments and I think we have arrived check it out okay so I'm through security and the area here looks like this so we we have lots of restaurants here we have Starbucks looks super nice right this is definitely not the deli that you have in your head right The Stereotype Deli so I found a little place here to sit down for a few minutes and I got myself an iced Peach chai which actually tastes very delicious and yeah the price for this was 230 rupee so I guess that an area like this is of course also a bit more expensive than other areas in Delhi but yeah overall the area here is super super nice like I totally didn't expect an area like this to to be honest so we have some shops here like uni Nike JBL and then lots of restaurants here like chain restaurants Western Restaurants but also some local places but everything here looks like very upscale fancy Posh and absolutely zero chaos here everything is clean so definitely very different from like this stereotype Deli that most people have in mind right but yeah a here is not that big actually so it's like this Central Square that you can see behind me and then a few shops down there a few over there and a few on the left side here so in total I walked through the whole area in like 5 minutes now so it's not a huge area but still like a very cozy nice little place relax meet with some friends have dinner maybe have some drinks okay so this was the Cyber Hub and I'm trying to find the Metro now and then we are going to another area which is not that far away but I think it's similar to this one so I'm curious to check it out and also there's a restaurant over there that has been recommended to me which I would like to check out also it's way quieter here than in the areas in Delhi that I have seen that are not like this so you he there's not a lot of honking going on here trying to find the entrance to the metro station I think the metro station is right above me but how do I enter excuse me how can I enter the Metro Station Metro elevator up okay okay uh platform all right here's the station looks pretty empty I can buy a ticket here to this station Eco CH all right I'm in the station and as you can see it's not really busy here and yeah I need to change somewhere or actually I think we are here Belair Towers not the Cyber City station and then I think I need to change right here yeah seeand Po and then I need to switch to the yellow line that's one two three four five stations I think but yeah have a look at the roads here the traffic no chaos or I just wanted to say no honking but then I think the motorbike just honked so there is still a little bit of honking going on here but way way less than in Delhi City Center so and I think the building over there or the buildings these are residential areas so this is probably a more comfortable area to live in I am a bit careful because I think in India they have cards that are specifically for females so I don't want to enter a female card by accident but I think I'm okay here yeah help me out in the comment section if you're from India do the trains have cards that are only for females so should I be careful where to enter the trains yeah it doesn't seem to be too busy today but uh yeah looks very decent proper also the air conditioner is on here the temperature very comfortable announcements in English so first oh this is interesting so first in English and then in Hindi so here can we see the Cyber City where we just been to so it's basically the area right here around the buildings that you can see ah so we can also see here where we are so we are here now Cyber City and then near the green ones are the next ones so 1 2 3 and then four this is where I have to get off to change to the yellow line and we have arrived at the station where I need to change the line the writing is in yellow does it mean that this is the yellow line that's what I'm assuming now so hopefully I'm right and by the way I think we are now like basically in the city center of W one by the way I'm not 100% sure how to pronounce this town I'm actually not sure do I need to go towards samur or towards Huda City Center okay the friendly security guy told me I need to go up here and I think uh the yellow line on the train is meant to signalize that this is the yellow line yeah this is where I want to go EOD chock so this direction so I think I think this train is coming from Delhi so this is coming from all the way from New Delhi so that means in theory you can take the metro from Delhi City Center until here and yeah if you happen to be at a metro station in India these are the things that are not allowed smoking drinking and eating throwing garbage on the floor and spitting all right so first thing I need to check how many stations oh this one is not in English oh but this side is in English Okay so I think it's only one station actually okay so you can see the yellow line here by the way Google Maps is really good in Delhi you have all the the lines of the Metros on Google Maps here so you can always check just Google Maps all right and we have arrived at the station where I wanted to go to and yeah you only get a little piece of paper like this so you have to be careful not to lose it because you need it to exit the station just like this all right here we go looks a bit more chaotic down here so before I go down there let me actually check uh the direction that I need to go so I'm looking for a restaurant now that has been recommended to me which is called pava so this 5 minutes by car or 18 minutes walking but to be honest I think I don't actually mind walking although it's 18 minutes but that gives me a better opportunity to see something of the city and maybe stop here and there if I see something oh this doesn't look that nice right oh this is already a big change compared to the aere we just been to oh my god there so many flies here and trash on the floor oh oh this is a big difference so we have street food here we have Street vendors here can buy socks and hats this is I think sugar cane juice and I think I need to go here oh and check this out there's a random cow here interesting I'm not sure if you can see all the place here hello there's a place here called Dubai theme Carnival that looks interesting and it is open I think we're going to check out the restaurant and then we're going to come back here to check this out oh and I see homeless people there oh this is definitely a very different area just a few metro stops away let me double check if I'm on the right Road uh yeah I am just straight and then right okay to be honest although there are plenty of Tuk tkks driving by not a single one has stopped so far or honked at me and asked if I want to ride if you remember my holy video where I was in Delhi there was a Tuk Tok stopping for me like every minute so I think because this is not a tourist area here I think the Tuk TOS are not like that aggressively trying to get uh forign customers here also something that I noticed here I don't really like to mention that but I want to be honest and real with you many people urinate everywhere here like since I started to walk which was like uh I hold my camera down because there was a guy so I don't really want to film him but I think uh yeah I can't see him anymore since I started walking about 10 minutes ago I already saw four people just urinating by the side of the road I'm just wondering why you know H Namaste do you know where I'm looking for the restaurant oh no this side right can I walk through here there and then right can I walk through here can yeah okay thank you very much about friendly locals here and I just see there's a nice looking Park here so maybe I can just walk through the park here there's a sign Park is under renovation but I still think it looks nice here and then yeah the restaurant should be somewhere over there not that far anymore I already walked most of the distance so we have the Maharana Pratap swan gianti Park here excuse me if my pronunciation is wrong and yeah I think you can see the renovation here because I would assume that usually this is a water area so there's probably water inside maybe some fountains but wow check it out how nice it looks here like imagine now there's water everywhere here fountains we have nice trees here all right and that was the little park here like 5 minutes to walk through and now the restaurant is not far anymore excuse me I'm looking for bik NAA I guess over there left okay sh thank you by the way so far the locals are always friendly so whenever you are stuck somewhere in India just yeah don't be shy to ask someone most of the locals that's my impression at least so far after a few days here do speak English at least enough English to help you out a little bit okay so I think this is the area yeah it's not as nice as the previous area but still it doesn't look too bad around here all right and here it is B na a or navala actually I should say hello Namaste I think this is not only a restaurant it's also a shop oh that looks delicious here already wow and yeah I have been told that uh this shop is very popular in India it's a Indian chain restaurant I think and apparently everything here is made fresh every day so therefore it's always good fresh and delicious so I think I'm actually going for something Savory now and I think this is a dish that I have seen before I forgot the name though Raj cachi can I get one yeah I order there oh okay so I think it works like this you order here uh cash counter okayi yeah one please anything El what is maami MMI mshi some like L that is a sweet line and the Mami okay I would like to try that yeah okay then one Mami juice okay so the total price is 358 okay to be honest I never heard about mousami before but according to Wikipedia it is a hybrid between Pomo and Mandarin also known as The Sweet Orange I'm not sure if that food is actually from India but to be honest I've never came across this fruit before but yeah looks like this so actually to me it looks like an orange to be honest thank you very much okay so usually when I'm going to a new kind I always prepare a list of like 15 to 20 dishes that I must try in the country either I ask a local if I know somebody from their country or I just Google it and this one right here has been recommended to me by locals and also by Google there are potatoes inside D yogur some spices and Chutney and it is usually top with cilantro pomegranate okay here's the juice actually let me try that first yeah it actually tastes very similar to to orange juice what again what what is this it's a camera is a camera yeah I'm filming how I'm eating the food you can you can see yourself here this is my first time trying this so you are youing this you order to have you on this yeah yeah I'm filming myself how I eat the food and then I put it in the internet so other people can see itet yeah yeah you are actually of which place I'm from Germany Germany you are from Germany Germany Germany Germany yeah yeah this is these things are in Germany yeah we don't have this in Germany let's try it oh there a very fresh minty flavor to it he seems to be very surprised about my camera this is a little camera yes and I film how I eat the food this is the thing anyway thank you thank you Daniel much God bless nice to meet you I have crossed 85 85 is 87 going oh wow lots of respect for that nice to meet you okay enjoy your day oh what a nice gentleman you have to see how it looks from the inside so there are so many different flavors in here so the yogurt in there is sweet but then there are also some very strong spices in here I would almost say it's not really spicy but something in there has a very strong spice FL flavor to it and then the the shell from the outside is very crispy and then here a piece of potato in there as well there have so many different things in here and honestly the the deeper I dig the more things I find in here so I think we have some nuts here if you're from India let me know what time of the day do you usually eat this is this like a morning dish or lunch or dinner but I think that's my impression I think this is more like an in between snack not really a full meal okay to be honest I'm almost done eating uh all of the the fillings in here to be honest it's not 100% my cup of tea I mean it's not bad I can definitely finish this but I don't think I would order this again because it's just too many different flavors in my mouth maybe I need to add more of the yogurt on the side yeah the yogurt is definitely sweet so I think I'm going to add more of the yogurt so we have some some yogurt here on the side maybe if I add more of that that will uh reduce the the strong spices or the strong spice flavor oh yeah to be honest that makes it way better maybe you're supposed to do like that so I'm just going to add more of the yogurt here oh yeah to be honest that makes it way way better for me now that the flavor of the spices is not that strong anymore yeah way better okay excuse me I was speaking too early but still I think this is a one time trying dish only but still I would recommend to try it it's definitely an interesting um taste explosion taste experience in your mouth all right that was a good little little snack my stomach feels uh full now actually although that was just a small portion actually yeah I do want to check out this Dubai themed Carnival that I saw earlier but I think I will take a Tuk to this time H Namaste I want to go to Dubai Carnival Dubai Dubai Carnival it's not far 800 M how much how much how much K 200 h H it's 2 minutes no give me a fair price please 150 no no no normal price 50 what price can you give me50 no no no not 150 it's 2 minutes 2 minut yeah the I give you 100 okay 100 okay okay yeah we had this topic already today and this ride is way shorter than the ride I had earlier and he wanted the same price so this time I'm pretty sure that this is not a fair price also I just remember you remember my first trk to ride today the driver argued that the price should be 200 because we have to pay a toall but there wasn't any tall fee along the road so that was clearly uh not right oh there there's a Paris wheel there it looks like a little theme park like a carnival and I think we have arrived and that was a two minute R hello Namaste okay thank you all right hello Namaste where's the entrance over there okay okay okay thank you H I'm good thank you where are you going I want to check out the carnival okay okay shukria thank you it's almost sunset time I hear music that seems to be a great atmosphere here and I'm not sure what is the relation between Dubai and India so I'm not sure right there is a Dubai themed Carnival here ticket price 150 rupe to be honest I have no idea what to expect them there one ticket [Music] please okay thank you I just wanted to say he only gave me a 250 bag and then I started to count the money and then he gave me another 100 not sure if that was intentional or not anyway I got a ticket now music is blasting here I see many people everyone seems to be in a happy mood okay we do have a little uh path to walk through here oh we have Nemo right here interesting Namaste hello it's almost like a Mia oh yeah interesting so this is obviously my first time on a Indian carnival oh what is this this is an aquarium we have fish right here many fish actually oh I think this is a little aquarium so this is still the entrance area to the carnival so I don't think this is all of what I'm going to see now oh check out the fish right here oh look at the teeth he looks actually quite dangerous right all right and here we are this is the outside area the first thing I see is a bookstore grow oil this grow my hair but I think my hair is I have enough hair already is this for for my family uh let me think I think everyone in my family has hair how does work this is not a company Factory product this a handmade handil no chemical no added color and this really works this really works yes yes I homemade oil homemade oil but yeah I think I am happy with my hair are you enough if you have any friend you can buy it uh do I have both friends Steve from the jetl Robia shout out to you should I buy the oil for you any hair PS I think I'm good make sure good again if you have any hair PSE when you use this one your hair PS will stop oh I think I'm good I'm growing new hair I think I don't need it thank you very much and I also painkillers it's okay I'm good thank you Germany Germany yeah ah okay interesting you can buy products here to grow your hair oh wow this looks uh more like the Eiffel Tower right and we also have a big Ben from London right here and this actually could be the bush Khalifa in Dubai okay in order to get to the actual Carnival section you have to walk through this long long never ending market and Dubai an exit gate which I hope is the entrance gate to the theme park area oh yeah I think here we are all right so this was a very long Market we have to walk through like a maze of different stalls there what can I do here oh I don't understand Hindi you speak English English I can play how much one what do you how much 20 20 rupees and I I can hit okay let's try my luck you can change change change yeah okay let's see again no but you can change change okay you can film a thank you and I have to hit this okay to be honest it doesn't look that difficult that was a fail okay how many times I can throw okay let me try again okay please hold me here okay I hit the first one okay again okay let me try one more that was almost everything one [Music] more okay I'm not sure what you mean okay again I don't understand do you speak English can you translate I'm not sure what he says let's see what's going on 300 for three times the ball 100 for one shot one shot is 100 rupes is that a normal price price so I have to pay 100 more ah 500 cash 500 100 one chance 500 100 rupe for one the ball that sounds very expensive I think I just I'm getting scammed here to be [Music] honest I'm from Germany Germany yeah yeah you're from Delhi no I'm from oh different city right yeah oh okay do you think this is a fair price one shot 100 Ruby no oh no no right oh okay thank you no thank you I am done with the stall okay this was to be honest the first stall I'm trying to play a game I'm pretty sure he said 20 at the beginning and that sounds more like a fair price to be honest and then suddenly it's 100 rupe for one shot all right to be honest I'm already in a bad mood now anyway I'm trying to enjoy a little bit here now maybe I do play some more games but yeah I'm not sure how much of it I can film actually let's see so we do have some of these rides here there have a loud generator over there oh my God the noise level here is just insane generators music and then every place has different music playing so you have music from here you have music from there music from there oh wow this is just insane here how much is it you have to hit the light I have to add the balloons I have to the how much does it cost 100 100 rupees for how many shots I think about uh 10 10 shots I let's see if I can do it with one hand yes I can I'm surprised though that you don't win any prices usually when you play these games and you hit a certain amount of uh targets then you get a price usually right so yeah it works like this you pay 150 entrance and then for each ride or each game that you want to play you have to pay extra all right so yeah I didn't film too much there now because it was just so loud so I can't really film anyway but yeah other than getting scammed at the first game it was actually quite a fun experience here so overall today was very interesting let me know your thoughts about the different places we have seen today in the comments and if you haven't seen my previous video where I arrived here in Delhi then feel free to check out the video right here stay healthy stay positive and then see you on the next episode ciao guys
