It's 40 degrees today and what better temperature to take the cat for a walk air?
Right now I'm gonna take him to what I call you, new India
Which is a really well developed part of India as you can see behind me
We're in Delhi just enough in a normal suburb
but um this suburb Dwarka is really growing at the moment as you can see by all the construction around us and
They're redoing the roads at the moment. But um, this like makes you a brand new part of India
What do you think of this area?
Smelly. Old.
But it's a character. I like the positive spin you put on that.
Aey, He is still got his eyes closed. I having to lead him around.
Okay, now put them in and take a walk and look around man. Where are we?
Where are we man? Look at this?
This does not look like India.
It's pretty crazy, eh? Yeah.
You're like you're in India still? Nope!
What did you say? All that buildings are
Well made. Yeah and the people who designed this this city, Cyber city in Gurgaon.
They wanted to make world-class buildings here in India and so basically this is one of the last technology and business hubs in India.
Yeah, well they've done like everything here.
-Not bad, eh? -Yeah, not bad at all.
Yeah, so this is why I call it new India.
All the international companies have their offices here. There is Google, there is Facebook.
There's.. I don’t know .. Everybody .
Oh, their accounting firms. It's 40 degrees, but it's not too hot man.
Yeah, It's Pretty pleasant over here.
-It's a different heat here. It's not like I don't know we're not sweating. -I'm a Shimla lover.
Yeah, Shimla was nice 20 - 22 degrees. -This is exactly the same.
Old Delhi. This isn't even Delhi. This is we're about one kilometer from the border. They built this just outside of Delhi.
So, this is cool. This is some cyber city
but um
This part we're going to now it's called cyber hub and it's basically got a ton of restaurants and really good ones. Service ticket.
So this is like that hub part with you know, all the western restaurants and then all the Indian restaurants as well.
You can find anything here basically. Even dirt water.
ooo ooo it's Starbucks.
Starbucks. Sorry, sorry.
Come on the right side here is it just like three stories of restaurants and bars, basically.
Lot of people come in a club on a Friday and Saturday night up the top.
They film a few Bollywood movies here, too.
You ever look down here, it is. Oh here is your favorite Oh so stoned.
Check out this place on the lift they've done such a good job with them. Now there
design the henna. *leaf paste for body tattoo*
It's cool eh.
You designed it like a like a Punjabi village basically
So cool na? Check out these!
it's cool eh!
And you can see on the buildings around us
All the aluminum cladding has been removed and that's because there's been a global order to remove those plating because it's very flammable
Right now we're gonna get some Parsi food and yeah next gonna try Iranian food for the first time
This place that we eating at is really cool. They they hired deaf waiters as well give you this little book here
So this book has different pages so you can talk to the deaf or hard-of-hearing waiters
These kind of things show how
Really progressive India can be because you just don't find this in New Zealand where I am from
What's your thoughts Nick? My thoughts.. Umm
Exactly the same. There's a big contrast between
Very very traditional and they're we have the complete opposite which is extremely progressive.
Bro did you ever think you'd see something like that in India? Did you expect that?
No, I did not.
This trip's been like a lot of surprises for you eh?
Yes, It has been a bit of a roller coaster.
Like we took it to the desert, we took you to the hill stations.
We took it to new India, Gurgoan.
Yeah.
Before you came to India, what did you expect?
Uhhm.
Nothing that I've seen. I did not expect, I expected Old Delhi.
Only eh. Just slums? why people just think it's slums in India only?
But um, you know, that's so far from the truth.
