Hello, hello my friends, good afternoon and welcome back to another video. Today
is a bittersweet day because I am actually
carrying all my luggage right now. I’m in Delhi so if you saw my last video I was
in Udaipur I took a flight there yesterday
and I didn't show you because it was a pretty quick like 30, 40 minute flight
wasn't much to see but yeah I stayed over here at the Novotel in
Delhi and right near the airport in like aerocity it's called like two
kilometers away and yeah so now I’m gonna be heading
over to France tonight. Oh hello my friend, Namaskar [Greetings] Ravi good to see you.
So yeah guys, that's my friend who helped me get my bags yesterday. So yeah,
now I’m gonna be heading over to the
airport now and then I’ve got a flight in Colombo. Yes guys, I’m coming back to
Sri Lanka but it's only for two hour layover
and then after that I will be cruising from Colombo to Paris.
I’m gonna be in Paris for about 72 hours seeing my brother and sister so
I’m very excited. Let's head on over join us for the journey. I’m gonna go
through some of the parts to the airport a little bit quicker since we have a lot
to show you guys. Dhanevaad [Thank you] there's ground floor.
Oh ground.
Yeah guys here's the predicament I’m in I’m out of Indian rupees so I’m gonna
see if I can find some or exchange some because I don't have any money to get
the taxi so I guess we'll figure out if it's gonna be possible we shall see
though. Guys so update good news is I was able to exchange 20 dollars so I can get there
going from the airport to Novotel's actually 1200 rupees so it's
very expensive, you'll definitely wanna take a private taxi so that's how we're
gonna do it. Alright, here we go. Thank you. Oh no it's okay. It’s okay.
Alright, guys so I am gonna be taking an Uber. I almost forgot. Oh thank
you very much, very nice people.
Guys yeah so I- I realized I could take an Uber, I almost I exchanged the cash
and then realized right after the cash has already been exchanged and
I’m like wait a second, I can just go on Uber. I don't know why my mind didn't
think about that so it's 107 rupees for me to take in Uber or was 1200 rupees
plus taxes to take the hotel transport to go 1.5 kilometers. I thought
yesterday's airport taxi from the airport
to the hotel which is 1.7 kilometers so 1200
rupees was high for Indian prices still inexpensive for western but from here
back I was like geez what are they going to be bringing me in a Rolls Royce.
Anyways, we've got the car that's gonna be coming here in any second and then
we'll be heading out. Our guy Ram Pukar is gonna be coming.
Toss it up here. Alright, dhanevaad [Thank you]
Thank you.
Aap kaise hain bhai sahab? [How are you bro?] Theek hai [Good]. Guys we've got the
let's see here 356. Oh wow, it's 11 minutes you know I guess since we're
even though we're close to the- even though we're close to the airport
we've still got probably to go through you know like how
airports are you gotta go through a bunch of different roads. So
yeah, the Novotel was a really nice hotel
but it is just like a little bit expensive so you know be prepared for
that. I wanted to say I paid 7,000 rupees to stay there for the night but they
were really accommodating with a late checkout. I actually stayed in my room
until 3:30. So that was quite nice
and I appreciated that a lot nice place, nice staff
just you know of course a bit more expensive when you're near the airport
and more of like an international brand hotel.
And guys we're pulling up to the airport here terminal three that is the
international terminal. So this is where I’ll be checking in
and then next stop Colombo for two hours.
Dhanevaad bhai saab [Thank you bro]
Thank you.
Alright, guys we have made it to the airport.
Officially, the trip to India has ended guys but don't worry I will for sure be
back many times because I’ve got many more
states to visit, many more places a lot more recommendations you guys have given
me so that'll be on a future trip. For now, it is time
to check in so I’ll see you guys once we get to the other side. Guys I’ve made
it into the airport, it's a massive airport here domestic international
terminals in the same one and we're gonna find Sri Lankan
airlines somewhere around here and from there we'll be checking in. So hopefully,
we'll take you guys with us for a quick lounge visit but I’ll see you after
check in because there's not too much exciting stuff going on in here that-
that I can share with you. This is what the inside of the airport looks like
though very massive, very bright and inviting. And guys there we go, Colombo to
Paris, Delhi to Colombo, Colombo to Paris here we go.
Yeah just got through security. I will say that like this is the most
disrespectful security like they took my bathroom bag and just dumped like all my
toothbrushes all in like these dirty freaking bins. It's like dude like you
could have just gone through there like every other airport I’ve been in India
but instead like they literally just dump all my bathroom stuff inside those
extreme like they say those tray like tables even after they're clean. They're
one of the dirtiest things like even dirtier than airport bathrooms so like
the fact that like he just dumped all my toothbrushes in there just goes to show
like how careless it is like I understand the level of like in-depth
security detail maybe because they have risks that
they're extra worried about but like India security is the most intense out
of 47 countries I’ve been to like the fact like my buddy Harry got his Allen
wrench taken away and he's like dude what are you? What am I gonna do with
this unscrew the plane like I’m the first one to say like better safe than
sorry but I’ve also been to a massive amount of countries with much higher
security so it's just like India upgrade your machines if that's the problem
because like there's just it just looks like really trashy, they
just dumped all my bathroom stuff like there was like you know like a couple
like medications that fell under the table or into the tray table. It's like
some of that stuff you don't know if you wanna use anymore because who knows
where the hell that tray table's been but yeah if airport security
sees this video just like you don't have to like dump people's
toothbrushes inside the tray table like you're not saving anyone's life doing
that. You could have just gone through like
every other airport has because all you saw in there was my freaking nail
clippers just like ridiculous. I mean I’m just annoyed because I gotta go buy new
toothbrushes which it's like it's the principle not
the cost as always but anyways on a more positive note guys,
we're inside the mall it's not the mall the airport. It feels like a
mall that's why I said mall but like they have designer brands everywhere.
They’ve got yeah lots of souvenir shops,
coffee beans. It looks like a lot of different food options up top there. I’m
gonna see if there's a lounge available too I guess we shall see
what there are for options but there's a sign over there that says
lounge B. Wow guys, this airport is much bigger
than I thought though. I’ve been walking for so long through here
to get over to gate seven. My gate’s gate seven but where I’m going
is outside of gate six I guess there's a
lounge so
I hope this is actually the right way because it said like arrivals gate six
but I would assume arrivals and departures are the same thing but
there's gate six up there so I guess we'll find out here shortly
otherwise we'll be retracing our steps back to the food court because there
were a lot of options including Mcdanklings. Nope, guys then in the app it says
arrival six so maybe this is a different spot
but it said there was a lunch here so I guess no lounge today no problem.
We’ll see what we can get in the food court.
Another 10 minutes back this way. Alright, looks like we got some options
upstairs so here we go. We're gonna head on outside
and not outside I’m looking outside right there,
it's almost sunset time quite a bit of smog out there on the
tarmac though. But up here is gonna lead us straight
to the food. I’m very hungry.
Alright, guys and here's the McDonald’s meal. I got- I got like a spicy chicken, a
Oreo McFlurry, had to some fries and then a Coca-Cola so the total on that came
out to about 509 rupees which is like seven US dollars.
Fries are good. I will tell you that's one crazy thing
about McDonald’s is no matter where I’ve been in the world the fries always taste identical.
Now guys obviously we're in India right now so the McDonald’s menu in India is
gonna be much different right. They don't eat any beef in this country
not any I think there's some parts that do.
I personally have not had any here but like McDonald’s for example they'll
adapt their menu. So I got like this spicy chicken.
That my friends very tasty, it's fresh. It was probably the longest I’ve waited
McDonald’s was like no, no like I think their KPIS are the key-
Gotta swallow, their key performance indicators are based on how fast
they can put out meals. So I was actually quite surprised at how slow this
McDonald’s was. It took about 10 minutes to get my meal,
still fresh happy with it. But just in terms of like McDonald’s
standards I was quite surprised by that but tasty.
You guys just finished the McDonald’s meal, very tasty. Honestly,
just blows my mind every time I have McDonald’s and just
how similar it is like if they would have somehow teleported a McDonald’s
meal from the US or vice versa and Indian McDonald’s to
the US next time I'm there eating it, I would not know the difference.
Trying the McFlurry here guys.
There’s something about Oreo, it always goes down nice and smooth.
Dhanevaad [Thank you] my friend. Thank you.
Nice meal and yeah that was nice camera wasn't
rolling but he came up and like picked up all my
trash and took care so that was really nice one or even a little tip to thank
him. But yeah guys now we're gonna head over to the flight, it is time to
leave India. It’s been fun a lot of fun here.
But as always all good things must come to an end. Alright, guys here's gate
seven this is where we're gonna be flying.
Alright, let's head in.
Alright, next stop Colombo for an hour and a half.
Oh last time I was on the Sri Lankan airlines plane, I was sitting in the
business class. This time it was like 300 dollars to upgrade last time when I flew to
Kochi it was 30 so that's alright, got the fire exit roll,
roll number 10 so a little extra legroom which would be nice. The perks
of the exit, really got plenty of legroom but
you can't see too much out the window there
that's alright. It’s like three hour ride down to
Colombo and then two hour layover, see you there. My bag gotta fly first
class today. How was it up here? Bye. Thank you, thank you bye. Alright,
I’ve arrived to Sri Lanka again didn't think I’d be back so soon it's here like
four weeks ago. I’m just kidding, it's only two hours
guys and then on to the next flight so
here it is. Alright, Paris flight got delayed like 30,
40 minutes and now we're heading to the gate, hung
out in the lounge for a little bit. Didn't really film it because I kinda
just like ended up there by accident but there wasn't really that much to show
you guys here. So yeah we're heading over I think it's maybe gate eight or nine
down here and then we'll be going.
Alright, guys heading onto the plane, last stop Paris.
So full speed ahead. Wish that's where I was going but
straight to the economy section. Oh yeah, we've got a huge plane run and I’m going
all the way to the back 51, so no business class this time
but it seems pretty spacious. Seems like this
side I’ll be on and have a window see. Hello good morning.
Oh I passed it. Alright,
good news is it's close to the bathroom, got the window seat and
they've even got these little foot
rests so that's kinda nice, usb ports and
a screen there. 12:54
current time in Paris 8:24 so we'll be there like 9:30 a.m. I’ve got a blanket
and pillows. As you can probably tell by the sound of
my voice, I’m ready for bed.
[Music]
Alright, I’m not gonna lie never checked the weather, I did not expect it to be
snowing. This is my only jacket I have on
so I guess first stop is gonna be a shop to buy a jacket.
I’m actually shocked right now.
Wow, it's literally a snow storm in Paris. I was not expecting this like planes are
covered in snow. I am freezing, this is crazy unbelievable
literally just came from 38 Celsius down to zero Celsius. Jesus, that's quite the change.
Alright, we have arrived and it looks
like Colombo baggage claim number 15.
Let’s hope it arrived, I don't even remember the last time I’ve checked the
bag that's very rare. So I have this backpack and then I have a small
carry-on so I can be fast in the airport but in India you can't bring the drone
in your carry-on so I guess we're just gonna go ahead and wait over here,
see when those bags are coming. Yeah this is not a good sign, it looks
like everybody is left and all the same bags are coming through here
and there's no sign of mine. This is why I never check bags but India is the
only country that makes you check a bag if you have a drone. Out of 47 countries
India is the only one and of course the one time I checked my bag.
I am one of the last ones standing here so no surprise there.
Honestly, I thought about that the whole plane ride I was like there's no way
this bag's gonna make it and at least I’m not shocked.
Yeah still nothing coming out so I guess that means we are going to have to
report this. Literally, the only time I’ve checked a bag out of 47 countries well
that's what happens so now we're going to
see where we can figure out where all my baggage is at.
They’re not all my baggage my one piece of carry-on luggage that is a checked
bag so that's welcoming back to Europe.
Now it's gonna be one of these days where I spend half the day
at a baggage inquiry counter trying to figure out where it is so that's-
that's fantastic news. Alright, guys update just went to the
baggage counter I was filling out personal information so I didn't record
that stuff but to be honest it was quite a- a straightforward process. I went
to the desk, they tracked the bag. They found it still in Sri Lanka and so they
said the next flight from Colombo to Paris
is not for-- Not until Saturday so I think it'll arrive Sunday back here by 8 p.m. So
yeah, it's definitely a pain in the [___] but it is what it is at this point. I told
them because I’m only here for 72 hours I was like they need to get me that bag
directly that night because if I don't get it that night they need to send it
to the next country after that pretty crazy like the fact it's just so ironic
the fact that I never checked bags and this is exactly why because they lose it
So yeah is what it is life could be worse.
Good news is I have at least my bathroom stuff with me and my phone chargers in
my backpack and my laptop and those are the most important things. If I never got
my main suitcase back wouldn't be as big of a loss as if I you know lost this
backpack that I have so that's alright.
I am lucky because I have one light sweater
that I packed and in that light sweater
I have also put that in my backpack, the only other
piece of clothing I have lucky in my opinion. Alright, I think we're gonna
see if we can get ourselves a taxi here.
Hello, I need to get it get one to this hotel.
Thank you. I was gonna grab an Uber but
honestly after all the bag stuff I’m like I don't have the patience to
wait around for and figure out where the Uber is because the bag thing threw
me off. Now I’ll be wearing the same clothes for the next 72 hours till the
bag arrives but it is what it is.
Good news is the only sweater I had is in my backpack. So that's the only
other piece of clothing I have so I won't like completely die of being cold
here. I’ll just have to go do a little shopping
but it'll be interesting right now in Uber it shows
I wanna say it shows like 65 euros so I guess we'll find out what the
difference is between a taxi and an Uber here
and I’m banking that they credit cards is payment
but I guess we'll find that out too.
Hello.
They’ve lost my baggage so it's just this one.
I need to go to Ibis Paris Brancion.
Thank you.
Okay, guys so we just made it in the taxi here and
I must say it's nice to be inside the taxi because it is ice cold outside. My
fingers are frozen. I forgot the feeling of what it was like your hands to be
frozen after being in 40 Celsius weather the last
like what two, three months now so well it's an adjustment but it's good
to be in Paris.
Yeah I guess so the airport's pretty far away almost to the hotel we're staying
on one a little bit outside of the city it's like an Ibis property.
My brother booked it. So I’m not entirely certain of the details
because I think I mentioned that to you guys already but I mean my brother and
my- my older brother and my older sister here in Paris that's why I randomly came
here after being in the Middle East, South Asia. So I flew here for a couple
days to overlap with them, see them and yeah so
we are like 15 minutes or 10 minutes away from the hotel
and that'll be it.
