 Dina, Dina Dina, Dina, Dina Dina, Dina Dina, Dina Dina, Dina Dina Dina, Dina Dina Dina, Dina Dina, Dina Dina, Dina Dina Dina. I like all the comment, man. Thanks for eating some Corbin. That was only... That was father... Owner of a lonely heart by yes. Go ahead. Yeah that's true. I want to love it. Yes. Nope. No? Fuck no. Great band. I can't think of another song they did but I'm sure I'm not. Really? Off the top of my head. I can't think about that. Oh my stars. What else? It can happen to you. It can happen to me. Oh, ok. It can happen... That's the juice. Drippin. Today we're reacting to this called Eleven Proofs. India is not like any other country. Ah yes. Is that like a proofing of like, what proofs? Well you said Eleven Proof? I don't know but you said Eleven Proof and I thought that's a really really weak liquor. Get that liquor out of here. Yeah I've got a bed for less than a hundred. That's right. Proofs. I know but it's a weird actuality. I know it's a weird way. Yeah. Eleven is strange. Eleven proofs and why eleven? Why not ten? They must like spinal tap. Why would spinal tap? Turn it up to eleven. I actually know. Oh really? Yeah that's one of the big things about this amp is better than all the other amps. All the other lamps out there they go up to ten. Our amp goes up to eleven. Okay here we go. I'm sure it's great. A little question for you. Yeah? Everyone doesn't love traveling. Oh I love traveling. I sure do. Me too. Not being to a lot of different countries. Oh I do. There's one that will stick with me forever. Well we've been there as well. Like I said I'm pretty well traveled. I like to go abroad at least once a year so I've got a year trip to India now. But when a friend told me that I just have to see India well that's exactly what I did. That's accurate. I went in September the last month of the summer monsoon. It was pretty dry and sunny but with short rains here and there the perfect weather for a traveler if you ask me. Being the confident and well experienced globetrotter that I am I went there prepared and I thought I was ready for anything. Boy was I wrong. The colors, the contrasts, the pace, the people everything hit me like a ton of bricks. And then he got deadly about it. And he let go even when I was already back home. That's right you'd take it home with you. As soon as I stepped out of the airport I felt dizzy. It could have been the heat, the jet lag, or the hunger in my belly. I assumed it was the latter so I decided to head out for some authentic Indian food as soon as I throw my bags in my hotel room. Now the food there deserves a big shout out. Well first thing Indians eat very little meat. In fact they have the lowest meat consumption per person in the world. Most of their dishes are vegetarian and meat is replaced with soy meat. It depends on where you are. It depends on where you are. 80% of the population is Hindu. Probably like you I've always heard that Hinduism requires a strictly vegetarian diet but that's not the case. It's just because they believe not eating meat minimizes the hurt they bring to other living beings. That's definitely one of the things I learned during my trip and I was pleasantly surprised. Another thing about food in India is that it's all heavily spiced. That comes as no surprise really since India is well known across the world as the biggest spice producer and exporter but there's one region that stands out exclusively in this regard. The state of Kashmir. It's home to the most valuable spice ever saffron. Sure this flower isn't unique to India. It also grows in Iran and Spain. Kashmir however produces the highest quality and the most expensive saffron in the world. The town of Pamphor is literally built around saffron fields. There are actually three varieties. I didn't know it came from Mongra. The most expensive one that costs about $1,600 a pound. Then you've got lacha which is less pricey at $1,000 per pound yet saffron farmers say it's the purest and finally there's zarda. It's the cheapest but only compared to other varieties because $250 a pound isn't exactly what I call cheap. Anyway India's spice is definitely in point. So I found a good place to eat and as soon as I saw the menu I remembered that Indian is also famous for its large variety of teas or as the locals call it chai. You should see the sheer number of options. I never thought there could be that many types of tea. If you're a tea drinker, I'm sure you know Darjeeling and Assam. But have you ever heard of Karnataka or Khangra? Does Munar ring a bell? Yeah it does. I had no idea that these kinds exist either and those are just the tea producing regions. There's even more once you get into the types of chai by adding particular spices and herbs. Take for example masala chai which is made with cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and herbs. I personally fell in love with butter tea. It's so thick and creamy. I can drink it by the gallon. Basically you take tea leaves, some butter, hot water, and salt. Mix it all up and thank me later. Never heard of that. Me neither. With a full belly and plenty of chai pumping through my veins. I was ready for some sightseeing. I landed in New Delhi so I spent the rest of the day walking around and taking in all the sights. Whenever I go abroad, I like to carry a little phrase book in the local language. Well if you ever find yourself in India, you're going to need a really big book because there are actually 22 officially recognized languages there. English is among them so I was okay just sticking to that. Those 22 official languages are just to drop in the huge linguistic ocean of the country. By different accounts there are from 122 to 300 major languages spoken in India as well as up to 1600 less known ones. Basically if you travel from one town to another you'll hear people talking a different language and if you happen to go through another state you can forget everything you might have learned in your previous location. How they managed to communicate with each other is still beyond me. New Delhi was awesome. I wish I could talk more about it but I have a lot to see. I did find time to take a train up to Amritsar and see the Golden Temple. How do I even begin to describe it? The whole thing is covered in gold and we've been there. We know. Huge pool of water. This is where the tradition of Langer takes place. Langer is a vegetarian meal that's given to any and everyone who comes to the temple regardless of their background or beliefs. Just imagine the Golden Temple provides a free meal to over 50,000 people a day and on special occasions it can feed up to 200,000. I got a free meal too and it was really delicious. You can volunteer there as well. I did just that because I was in so much awe about the place I didn't want to leave. That would be cool to volunteer. What I actually regret is that I didn't get to see the Kumbh Mela in action. It's one of the greatest celebrations of India and apparently it's a sight to behold. In 2011 so many pilgrims gathered in one place that the whole congregation of 75 million people was even visible from space. This year it's taking place from January until early March so if you've seen it with your own eyes just know that I'm so jealous. In fact whatever India does it does it on a huge scale. For example it has the largest number of post offices in the world. Wherever you go you'll stumble upon one literally on every corner. The irony of this is that it doesn't really help the situation with delivery types. One Indian guy told me it's totally normal to wait for your package to be delivered in two weeks time even if it was sent from a nearby town. But hey patience is a virtue. You don't have Amazon Prime? But it doesn't stop there. India places third in terms of the number of Guinness World Record holders. The world's fastest nose tyker, the most expensive wedding ever held and the most selfies taken together are just a few of the bizarre world records held in this country. Record records? Where's he from? I'm not sure. The largest railroad network in the world? Check? Well almost. Since the United States does technically have more. But anyway India has built over 3.5 million miles of railroad which considering the smaller size of the country still means easier transit between different locations. With that in mind it shouldn't really be a huge surprise that Indian railways is also the largest employer in the world. It has over a million employees and considering the country's extensive railway network these people are scattered throughout India. From the smallest villages to the biggest cities the number of jobs grows every year so it looks like you could always get a job there if you're looking for employment in India. Anyway what can I say about my final impressions? I was blown away and I seriously didn't want to leave this fascinating place. Visiting it was like going to a whole new world for me. I tried to get as many souvenirs as I could but I almost forgot one important thing. Where is he from? If you ever go there by the way you better remember it too. No one is allowed to take India's national currency even or out of the country. It's actually against the law so make sure you change your mouth. I'm a felon. I'm broken the law. But a friendly local told me to exchange my rupees at the airport and off I went headed back home with my suitcase full of exotic stuff and my head pulsing with impressions. It already became already did. I knew that we knew that one. Can you tell me anything else about India that they asked? They invented the number zero. So leave me some recommendations down in the and they know how to wipe their butts better than Americans. These videos show me if I knew how to do animation we could make so many of these videos. Yeah we could now because we know we've been like immersed in it. But you know I I like the information but I much prefer these kinds of things that are done as a more just genuine look in the camera. Here's my trip to India. Yeah you know. Yeah as opposed to this. Versus a stylized production kind of a thing. Yeah. And yeah. Well I didn't do it on purpose but I did break the rules. I have in my wallet I still have this. How much is that? I got a thousand rupees. How much is that? A thousand rupees is like 10 bucks. Okay. Yeah 11 bucks. Yeah because eight bucks. I tried. When I got to the airport they said nope whatever I had on my person wasn't enough so I just handed up water cash to Indrani. Oh that's true. Yeah they weren't going to exchange it because it wasn't enough. But then I found I don't remember how much it was but I found money in my suitcase. Yeah I was I was upset because I every time I've gone there any money I have left over I've left with Indrani and then I checked my wallet as I was in the next airport and saw I had a thousand rupees in there and I'm like flying crap and okay I'll use it. It's there for my next trip. Yeah yeah. But yeah we're felons. Yep. So reports to the authorities. Yep. But you know we're lawbreakers. Sorry about that. Not really. Nope. It's a dumb rule. We do it again. I can take your money if I want. Yeah we're going to take your money out again. Why is that rule a rule? I don't know. Interesting. Well it may have to do with the cost to print money. Print it. Yeah and I don't know what the rules and regulations are there compared to like us ever since we left the gold standard we're just like hey let's print some more money. Well money is basically made up and when it was taken off the gold standard that's for sure. Yeah it's a made up thing. Yeah. Especially in America we're 27 trillion dollars in debt. Yeah. We're never paying that. I was going to say our money is simply with little notes that say yeah we owe China that much. Well sorry you're never getting that back. Yeah. What's amazing is we had the budget balanced under President Clinton. Yeah. So everything that's happened with this has been since him. Yeah and everything. Well technically if you just shave off you know 27 trillion from the military budget you could pay it but yeah well why not. Well they can't survive off of six hundred billion dollars. I know. Anyways yeah these videos they're fun but yeah it does make like one also I think we were at to this at the beginning we were like oh that's cool. We would have had a lot more. It's like now it's like yeah I knew that. I don't really knew that. I've been there. Yeah we've been to multiple places. It's really fun. I know and hopefully we'll be able to go multiple times more and we get to know a lot more stuff. True. Because we're very intelligent smart like. Yep. And just because we've been someplace once means we're experts. That's true. Yep. We'll tell you everything you want to know about India now. We know everything. White people.
