good morning everyone it is another super early morning here in Agra if you caught our
last video you'll know that we just finally visited the Taj Mahal which was absolutely
incredible now we are on our way to the train station because we are hopping on a first
class train to Jaipur this morning
I don't think it's ever not busy in any Indian train station it's like 5 30 in the morning
right now and it's packed with people going all sorts of different places it reminds me
of kind of like an airport that's very interesting there's just a whole bunch of people just
sleeping on the ground here in front of the train station maybe that's the easier thing
to do than to like book a night I actually think they might be like vendors who like
like like this kind of like their stomping grounds and they're sleeping because it's
the middle of the night still it feels like maybe some of these trains depart at like
three in the morning so I mean maybe it's better to just sleep right here instead of
taking an extra like Hotel night or something like that although it's 5 30 now so this should
be gone by now that's true we are through security which wasn't really much of security
you put your bag through like the X-ray machine but like nobody's really looking at the Monitor
and I just walk through with my camera straight through the metal detector nobody cares so
now we're looking for our platform luckily there are some really big signs A3 okay it's
that number
so we have about 30 minutes until our train comes and I figured I'd tell you a little
bit about the platform it's actually quite busy for this time in the morning at 5 30.
there are lots of people some of them are just hanging out some of them are just sleeping
there's some drinking fountains although I don't know if I would trust it personally
as a foreigner who's not used to kind of the water in this area there are places like little
snack shops and stores where you can buy water or you can buy snacks like Nicole is cookies
and chips what great snacks this is why I don't usually resort to buying my snacks at
the train station because I have chips and cookies it was this or like spicy Masala chickpeas
and I just wasn't in the mood for that but oh well
do you think he'll honk for me
oh it stinks
in theory we're going to get on the train and it's only three minutes late
where are all the dogs coming from
okay
well that doesn't bode well oh gosh okay so we're pretty sure we're in the right spot
but someone was definitely sleeping here last night so yeah that's gross well very first
impressions of the first class train is that this is beautiful and perfect and it would
be awesome for us it's just dirty
well while we wait for our guy to clean up the cabin um I'll show you outside you know
it's a little interesting to be honest there's not much to look at a lot of garbage some
birds and we saw some dogs but what I do like is the fact that we're in the train which
is air-conditioned because not gonna lie I was sweating like profusely while we were
on that platform
so gross
okay so the guy has left Nicole is uh at the door I think she's gonna give us her first
impressions of what the first class cleaning is like so welcome to our newly cleaned bedding
we have new sheets which is awesome and I'm so thankful for them but then we just have
a folded blanket from the previous person as well as the previous pillow from the previous
person so you know clean I know this might sound like kind of first class problems but
to be honest the ticket is like far more expensive than like the most basic or like the regular
classes even the next tier just one below yeah that's right this is almost double the
cost of the tier below it and while we are super happy to have like a private space it's
just the two of us here which is awesome it was the least expecting
a clean pillow all right anyway so Nicole's gonna give us the rest of the coupe room tour
all right let's officially start the tour of the first class AC train from Agra to Jaipur
alright so as you can see we have two bunks we specially requested it's called a coupe
which means there's only two beds inside instead of four so some cabins will have four they're
actually called cabins when you book them but you can have like a preference that you'd
like a coupe we got lucky and actually were assigned that I don't think that's always
going to happen we've got actually a really large mirror here look at this this is like
a very legit mirror pretty nice pretty good right we've got a small table there's actually
also a trash can underneath it which is a treat we've got a curtain to block out the
window which is good because man do I need a nap we did not sleep a lot last night another
mirror in case this one wasn't big enough towel rack with two hand towels on it the
light switches uh I don't know what this one does it seems to do nothing these ones turn
on oh good turn on the lights this is like the call bell and I actually pressed that
when we got in here to try to get the sheets cleaned and somebody came so I think it might
even work we've got an outlet and another Outlet all right and then we've got the bed
okay so we've got a pillow which is probably gonna go on the floor in a minute we've got
a personalized reading light I saw the person on the top bunk also has the same reading
light and of course views out the window hello India cool India does look very beautiful
in the Morning Light all right and then so we've got actually a curtain over here too
that's as far as it goes
this is where person number two gets to sleep we've also got a water bottle holder up here
for the person who's sitting up top and a couple of hooks I should also say that we've
stashed our backpacks under here and it's actually like good enough room for both of
our backpacks
behind our backpacks we found trays
yeah so there's a little tray for eating or honestly if you need to get a little bit of
work done just this is the place to do it not exactly the sturdiest but it would work
in a pinch well there you have it this is our home for the next six hours I think I
think so not bad not bad not bad at all truly it's not bad I um I know maybe I sound like
I'm complaining quite a lot I do have a thing for cleanliness so having a used pillow and
blanket is kind of grossing me out the rest I'm fine with I don't mind dingy it's okay
but when when the like sheets and bedding are gross and dirty that's a tough one for
me we usually like to kind of keep things pretty budget but we've had our fair share
of like musky smelly airbnbs that you know like was not cleaned before you got there
so it's just still coming back to haunt us a little bit yeah that is very true we're
we're a little uh sensitive yeah to that I'm looking at you Istanbul
welcome to the western style toilet on the first class train to Jaipur obviously the
Train's been going for a while I don't know I'm assuming it came from Delhi I don't actually
know where it came from but um it no longer smells super clean but it honestly doesn't
smell too too bad we've obviously got a nice big mirror here and a sink with
running water that's good soap and I can see there's actually soap in that got a window
that's been blocked so no one can see you doign your business and uh I don't think I'm
going to show you too closely this toilet and we've got a bum gun sprayer again there
is a toilet paper roll but there is no toilet paper in it hooks decent lighting I can see
everything pretty well oh hey there's a sign here it says fitted with bio toilet system
do not throw any waste in toilet pan slash commode oh maybe you can't put toilet paper
down there not too bad at all
so I've just come out and showing you guys the washroom and one of the
doors is open
I mean this is way too much fun
look the door it's so cool
wow it makes the whole viewing experience
even more realistic cause you can smell everything and hear everything
oh it's a little scary
well I think I took like a three hour nap so um we have at least confirmed that this
is a pretty good place to sleep what I like about it is that like the temperature is really
nice and the bed is actually like wide enough to not feel like you're gonna roll off it
even though the train moves a little and I noticed that the train is like pretty like
it doesn't take any crazy windy you know roads we've been on so many buses in the past six
or seven months and they're really hard to sleep on because they'll take like sharp small
roads right but here on the train like there's a lot of just straight and so you actually
don't feel like you're gonna fall off your little bunk and so I actually had a very wonderful
sleep despite the fact that it's it's a little painful on the hips with the with the mattress but you get used to it
cool Jaipur looks very very cool looks very similar to where we have
just been but uh less Dusty looking than Agra I would agree so far it's a little greener
goodbye it was so nice thanks for the great nap
touchdown in Jaipur welcome to Jaipur looks pretty much the same as Agra actually I would
say it's cleaner so far though like the train station it does feel cleaner
if you guys saw our Agra train Vlog you know that when we got to Agra station and left it was an insane
amount of taxis one two three we'll see if Jaipur train station is any different
I'm gonna go with no
you make film?
we haven't even left the station people have followed us from the platform offering us
taxi service this uh is never ending I think it's just part of the India experience
everybody ready
so the other thing that we're trying to like accomplish here is grab some lunch because
we are starving and we found a place right beside the train station and it's also giving
us a chance to kind of get away from like the group of people following us
okay you guys when we said that we were hungry like we really meant it so we've ordered ourselves
a feast this is so much food so we got like a they call it a thali set which just comes
with like all the things you would need for a meal in a nice person-sized portion although
let's be honest this is enough food for two people rice some sort of Milky yogurt it looks
like a like almost like a rice pudding bread I don't I don't think it's roti but I'm going
to call it roti because that's the best name that I have for it looks good some sort of
Curry I know these are vegetables this is paneer and then it's a salad oh and this is
dessert this is like a sweet ball with syrup on it so we got six of these each this is
enough food for a whole family and also this was 220 rupees which is like just under four
dollars Canadian also since coming to India we've become big fans of paneer so this is
great cause there's paneer here delicious
he asked us where we're from and we said Canada and he said oh from Justin Bieber yeah exactly
Namaste I am with the two beautiful guys from Justin Bieber yeah
all right guys this is our home for the next couple of nights welcome it's actually a really
big space we've got the bed area a desk which is great for us because we do lots of stuff
on our computer we each have a side table such a treat Little table and chairs nice
big old window that looks out to the neighbors we have got of course a TV on this like it's
almost like a mantle hey like how beautiful is this Archway tile thingy anyways I think it's quite nice
and then we've got a little kitchenette so we just got like an electric
stove a kettle toaster microwave fridge and then I'll show you the washroom
so nice like deep sink there is a hot water tank so we are going to get warm water regular western
style toilet and a shower with a door which is awesome okay and then we've got the air
conditioner the almighty air conditioner we need air conditioning here I think the last
thing to show you is the balcony
it's a little too hot to hang out here all the time but I think we'll come out here occasionally
remember that we're in India and then go back inside where we get reprieve from the hot
the space is actually really really nice they just opened up like two months ago it's owned
by like a small family with a super cute kid they're so sweet the name of the place is
called Gems Suites um look them up they're right beside the train station in Jaipur if
you're interested in finding a really nice little accommodation yeah we can actually
we'll put the description in the link down below um or a link to the description Down
Below in case you want to check them out so that's a wrap on the first class train ride
