The Unhappy Traveler: A New Yorker in India

Hey Guys,

I took my boyfriend to India last winter and...he didn't get along too well with the culture. This is a funny video about our trip:

i feel sorry for your BF's experience in India. his frustration is understandable. i have been in a similar situation before in a different country and as your BF describes it - feels like a good kick in the A--. i'm curious did things improve once he got to calcutta? what were you guys doing in india, were you on an adventure, educational, etc trip?

I hope you had a good sense of humor! Please tell us what happened! Did he get adjusted? Is he still your boyfriend? Good clip!

Excellent video and production cameragirl. That experience is totally spot on for India, but if you can't have a laugh about your situation there, you're finished!

Great travel video is going up everywhere, but only a few travelers are actually uploading videos. Is anyone else (besides cameragirl) here doing this yet?

Loved the clip. I certainly can relate to his frustration about how things are often "run" in India. Still one of the best trips of my life after the initial shock wore off!

Thanks for all the responses! He did adjust...I am hoping to continue editing his experiences because it's pretty touching that by the end he was best buddies with all the guys down main bazaar! Everyone knew him everywhere. I a few more good clips- see

Tenav; I wouldn't let that one glimpse or snapshot deter you. Be certain that is not all. I live in Chicago and its a great city but if all you saw were some of the crappy spots which every place has then you would get an unbalanced perspective. JM2C. Larry
