Victor Blaho, a French YouTuber, shares his uncomfortable experience of a 46-hour train journey across India, marked by noise, dirt, and discomfort.
During another part of his 46-hour train journey, he was unable to sleep because of the constant noise. “Between the mice, the bugs, the people talking loudly, people walking back and forth, I am not sleeping here tonight.
“I mean I can’t lay down. I saw a bug here. I’m not going to put my head here,” he said in his YouTube video titled “DO NOT Attempt a 46H Train Journey in India – It BROKE ME!”
Frenchman’s despair
Blaho’s video shows him being approached by Indians eager for a chat or a picture with him. One man even made the Frenchman talk to his girlfriend over a video call, before informing him that he has one girlfriend in Mumbai and another in Delhi.
The man then accompanied Blaho back to their neighbouring seats in the train and continued talking, making him speak over video calls to other people.
“It’s been three weeks in India. I want to go home now… I need peace, I need quiet, I need a clean bed,” the Frenchman filmed himself saying when he was finally able to shake off his fellow traveller.
In an Instagram post shared three days ago, Blaho wrote: “46 hours on the lowest train classes across India… my main emotions? Despair & borderline insanity.”
“No, I don’t enjoy suffering—learn from my mistakes: if you’ve got the budget, book the highest class possible,” he added.
