Good morning guys and welcome back to another video here in Kochi, Fort Kochi.
I'm here with the man, Hanif.
Hi.
How are you?
Fine.
Sukumano?
Sukumano.
Good.
Good, good, good.
This is your Bugatti?
It's my, my, my Bugatti.
Lamborghini?
Porsche, Porsche.
Porsche?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's the new Porsche.
I've been in the Ferrari and the Porsche.
Yeah.
Okay.
Ciao.
To the ferry?
Okay, perfect.
We're, we're on an adventure, guys.
You guys may notice I've got the kurta on because I'm trying to become a local.
This kind gentleman, whoa, nearly got killed there.
The nice man here, I just met him now and he said, pay me what you want.
So that's very kind of him.
Very, very kind of him.
I will look for you.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you very much, brother.
Okay, bye-bye.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you, brother.
Okay, we're here at the ferry station.
Oh, God, you're a lifesaver.
You're worth your weight in gold, my friend.
Okay, bye-bye.
Let's see what this situation is.
I haven't really introduced the video, what we're doing today.
But I thought we'd get the ferry to the other side of Kochi.
There's obviously, Kochi has lots of many islands.
So we're going to get the ferry over and then check out the other side of Kochi.
Slightly more modern side of Kochi.
But yeah, let's see what this ferry is about.
I have no idea what to expect.
How much?
6 rupees.
6?
Well, okay, perfect.
100 rupees coin.
Thank you very much.
100 rupees coin.
It's okay, no change.
Thank you.
6 rupees, that is so cheap.
I have no idea where I'm supposed to be getting off.
I guess, I presume it just goes from one side to the other.
I hope it does.
I hope it doesn't have multiple stops.
And is that it over there?
Is that the Taj Hotel over there?
I have no idea where we are.
As you can see guys, we've got a huge port over there.
That's the international port.
And no, that can't be the ferry.
Is that the ferry?
It's only like a 5 minute wait and we're here.
FCO3.
Looks pretty nice.
And there's not too many people getting on.
I think I blend in with the locals.
They all just think I'm a local.
Maybe that's why I got the local price.
We get on here.
Very shaky.
Nice to see they've got live boats.
Live jackets even.
Oh, they're playing the music.
Wow.
Okay.
Let's just take a seat at the back.
It's like a nightclub.
Namaskaram.
Sukumano.
How are you?
Speak English?
No English?
No English.
Mayalama?
Hindi.
Hindi?
How are you?
Fine.
What's your name?
Okay.
Are you here on holiday?
Holiday?
Or you live here?
Very friendly people on this boat.
I just said hello.
He just blanked me.
He looked me in the eyes and blanked me.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine.
Good?
Nani.
Thank you.
Nani.
There we go, guys.
Looking very nice.
Oh, a little bit of rubbish.
Okay.
Raja.
Nice to meet you, Raja.
Why are you here?
You live here?
Holiday?
Holiday.
Oh, nice.
Working?
What's up, guys?
How am I?
Very good.
Never been better.
Sorry?
Partner?
Ah.
There's one other white person on this boat.
What is your name?
My name's Harry.
Harry?
Yeah.
Harry Potter.
His name?
I don't know who he is.
He just assumed that the only white person on this boat I knew.
Wow.
Oh, we got the captain up there.
The captain.
So I...
Can I drive the boat?
No, no, no.
No?
I'm a professional.
I'm joking.
I'm a captain.
I used to be the captain of this ship called the Titanic.
Have you heard of it?
Harry Potter, the captain.
So fast.
Oh, I give you a business card.
Shukriya.
Guys, I just saw a dolphin pop up.
You probably might not be able to see it on camera,
but I'll tell you if I see one.
It's gone that way, though.
It's the only thing.
Yeah, I saw this little fin.
It was either a dolphin or a shark.
This water is extremely deep.
That's why the port is there.
I think he said 50 feet deep last night.
That's why you see a lot of cargo ships coming through here.
Speaking of cargo ships,
look at this bad boy.
It's absolutely huge.
It's got to have two small boats to steer it.
Wow.
They're playing the music, the bangers.
How's my dance moves? Good?
Okay, guys, we are arriving
after maybe half an hour at the most.
Pretty nice journey, to be fair.
They're playing the bangers.
It's very quiet, not too hot.
Looks like we've arrived.
Okay. Shallow.
Okay.
Seems to be plenty of tuk-tuks, which is good.
Tuk-tuk rickshaw.
You know the score.
Oh, he's empty.
Empty.
And...
Empty.
Namaskar.
Tuk-tuk?
To the metro station?
Metro station.
Yeah. Kidney rupee?
50 rupees.
Okay.
Good price.
Honest man.
What's your name?
Sadiq.
Sadiq. Nice to meet you.
50 rupees, that's roughly under a dollar.
Maybe 60, 70 cents.
And so now we are in kind of like the more modern area.
The new city, I think it would be more like.
We were in the old city, the false city.
Now we're in the new city.
So nice taking these rickshaw tuk-tuk drives.
It just cools me down for a minute.
Walking around for any more than two minutes,
you instantly get sweaty.
I shouldn't be complaining because back home in the UK,
it's probably very cold.
So I should count myself lucky.
I always prefer hot weather over cold weather.
But yeah, it looks like we're arriving.
You can see here the metro.
And that's the metro station there.
Wow.
I'm excited to get this metro.
I love metros.
I have no doubts in my mind that that's going to be.
The metro is going to be extremely cheap as well.
I actually have no idea where I'm going.
I think I might head to maybe Lulu mall.
Thank you.
Okay, nice to meet you.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Here we go.
So it's just one way.
And we are at Maharashtra College.
Let's find out which way we need to go.
Anybody ask?
Wow, this is the...
The ferry system is quite extensive.
Hello.
Please may I go to Lulu mall?
Thank you.
Which stop is it?
Perfect.
There we go, 30 rupees.
So that is less than 50 cents.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
Well, everything is going very smoothly so far.
I'm waiting for something bad to happen.
Probably going to get stopped for filming.
There we go.
So I'm going to Alupi.
Alupi, Alupi, Alupi, Alupi, Alupi is...
Am I blind?
Oh, that one.
And look what we have here.
It's arrived just as I got here.
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Easy to use.
Wow.
Okay guys, so we're on the metro now.
Super simple.
Very, very cool in here.
They've got the aircon on very high.
And yeah, it's just a nice cruise along.
You guys getting...
Where are you going on the metro?
You're going into town?
Okay, awesome.
I'm going to Lulu mall.
Is it good?
Yes.
Okay.
I've heard it's the biggest in Asia...
In India.
I'm excited to test it out.
But yeah, really nice to be in this aircon carriage
because I was very, very hot.
And yeah, it's not busy at all.
Perfect, I'd say.
Oh, it's going very fast.
Wow.
It's probably going like 40...
30 or 40 miles per hour.
Hey guys, so you can see.
It's actually in English and in...
So they've got the stations on there.
So it's pretty easy to work out where I'm going adaptively.
So yeah, chill.
Probably be in like 20 minutes.
So yeah.
Very nice.
Got pretty much the whole apartment to myself.
We're here.
We made it.
Oh, it's busy.
It's hot.
As soon as you step out,
you just get like this.
It's like stepping out into an oven.
Right next to it, Lulu mall.
We've also got a building there
that has like a cross on it.
So maybe it's a church,
but it looks very impressive.
I've actually been told.
So Mac has been to Lulu mall before.
So he said that they're funny about filming.
So I'm going to have to go into stealth mode for a little bit,
but it should be fine once we get in there.
Okay.
We made it in.
If I ever have to suddenly put the camera down,
it's because security is after me.
So I'm eagle eyed,
but it's pretty nice in here.
We got Shrek donkey.
And I forget the name of the girl,
but really nice.
Got some nice stores in here.
Going to be struggling not to spend any money,
especially in like Nike and stuff.
But no, I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
Got three floors.
And yeah, so I believe if I'm not mistaken,
this is the largest mall in India,
maybe the largest mall in South India,
but definitely largest in South India,
maybe the biggest in India.
And it's absolutely huge.
I'm going to get lost in this place.
I also actually saw,
I'll head up there guys with you now,
but you can actually see,
it's like a little mini arcade theme park up there,
which I've never seen in a shopping mall before.
This is pretty cool.
Got bridal dresses.
I also like how they've got a lot of natural light in here.
So we're going to head to the arcade, I reckon.
We're going to not get court filming,
because that would not be good.
And then maybe get some food.
Oh, we've got a security guard looking
and he's walking exactly my way.
This is going to be interesting.
Okay, I reckon I'm just going to dodge him.
Namaskar.
Very friendly people.
Okay, I'm running away from the security guard.
Sorry guys, you probably will,
some of you will be thinking,
oh, why don't you just follow the rules?
And that's because I'm doing it
for the good of the people.
I'm giving these guys free advertisement.
Namaskar.
Whoa, look inside there, guys.
Oh, I wonder if you have to pay for entry.
So we've accidentally made it up to the food hall.
Namaskar.
And...
Namaskar.
Wow, they've got loads of little small shops.
And I presume this was an ice rink,
because it's now just wet.
Not anymore.
Okay, have we lost the security guards?
You guys will be able to tell me in the background.
Whoa, look at this, guys.
It's a proper theme park in a shopping mall.
Wow.
I wonder if we can go on any of the rides.
Let's have a look.
Namaskar.
What's this?
What is it?
Oh.
You stick to the wall?
No way.
Yeah, yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Can I film?
Okay, perfect, perfect.
Where are you from?
From England.
What's your name?
Harry.
Harry Maguire.
That's me, brother.
And you guys are from Kochi?
Yeah, Kochi.
Okay, awesome.
It's a nice place.
You just come to Lulu Mall in your free time?
Okay.
I guess we don't need to take anything out of our pockets
because it'll just stick to us.
I've done this before in England and it's so much fun.
How old are you guys?
16.
Okay, awesome.
24.
I remember when I was your age.
Okay, let's look at the rules.
Children less than eight years old are not allowed
so you guys aren't allowed.
Okay.
Can I leave my bag here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And I pay now?
You have to pay now.
Sorry?
You have to pay now.
Okay, how much?
150.
Can I do that after?
I want to go with my friends.
First you have to take card.
What card?
Lulu card.
You will get there.
Can I just go on this one?
I pay after.
Thank you, brother.
Okay.
Uh-oh.
I don't think I'm ready for this.
I'm nervous, guys.
I'm nervous.
You guys are all together?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, I'm going to try and film with two hands.
Yeah, yeah.
I've done it before.
I'm a professional.
They said...
They said don't film this.
Are we ready, guys?
I'm nervous.
I think only like two people have died from this.
Oh, I'm so dizzy.
I'm so dizzy.
I feel so dizzy right now.
How was that?
Oh, my God.
You guys look drunk.
Oh, my God.
I can't wait to watch that back.
That reaction to that ride was not...
Not under-
Over-exaggerated, sorry.
That was...
That was crazy.
That gave me massive nostalgia as well
because when I was younger,
me and my friends used to go and do that ride
at like our local town
and that was always our favourite ride.
So as soon as I found out that they were doing that,
I wasn't really keen on doing like a rollercoaster ride
but as soon as I found out they were doing that,
I was so keen.
And those rides are honestly the best...
That's the best ride that you'll ever do
because it's just like...
The feeling is incredible.
Like you can't...
You can't actually move your hands
because of the g-force
and your whole...
Like your face is like that.
Yeah, you guys probably were...
Finding that funny.
Me laughing.
I'm glad I didn't eat before
because I definitely would have been sick on that.
But yeah.
Now I'm going to...
Get some food maybe.
There's more...
More...
Arcade kind of stuff.
Let's go down a level.
And last but not least, guys.
I think I'm going to get a juice.
Namaskar.
Sukumano.
Tike?
Okay, well we got lots of healthy juices.
This is exactly what I need.
I need a bit of a detox.
Which one is the best one?
Oh, here they are.
Here they are.
I want like healthy.
Strawberry?
Yes.
Strawberry fruit shake.
Fruit shake.
Fruit.
Yes.
Okay.
Okay, chalo.
One?
One, please.
What's your name?
My name is...
Raj.
Nice to meet you, Raj.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
Let's go and taste it.
It's a little bit small.
Quite small than I was expecting.
Let's give it a go.
It's nice to actually have something without loads of sugar added into it.
Just pure strawberry.
So healthy.
Obviously there is natural sugar in the strawberry but it's not as bad as processed.
So yeah, guys.
I'd say Lulu Mall is a vibe.
It's very busy here.
Especially for a Monday.
I'm trying to figure out why it's so busy.
No, it's nice.
It's very modern.
Very big.
I've hardly shown you guys much of it really.
But I thought it's pretty boring just to show you the standard shops.
So I thought I'd take you to the fun areas and ideas.
Yeah.
Cool vibe.
Nice people here.
And for sure I'm going to stick around and do some more exploring of this place after I finish this.
Seriously good juice.
But yeah.
I think I'm going to finish the video there, guys.
Had an awesome time exploring.
Kochi.
Went from the old fort to the old town.
Got the cool transport over to the new town.
And then showed you what modern Kochi is like.
So yeah.
Thank you for watching.
If you enjoyed the video don't forget to like and subscribe.
I'm making daily videos all the way through Kochi.
So I'll see you guys in tomorrow's video.
Bye.
