Welcome to our City of Joy, Jason. The city has a rich history of Bengali culture and it's heritage, the old buildings from the British colonial era, as one you noticed in the beginning. Even you can notice, the people in here speaks in Bengali, this language, according to UNESCO, is being positioned to be the most sweetest in the world. So enjoy and hope you will like it.

I love Bengali Cinema particularly films of Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, Tapan Sinha, Rituparno Ghosh and Aparna Sen. You must watch these 5 great Bengali 60s films 1) Kanchenjunga (1962) 2) Deya Neya (1963) 3) Charulata (1964) 4) Thana Theke Aschi (1965) this film was like Witness for Prosecution (1957) 5) Nayak: The Hero (1966) I also love Bengali pop rock music like Mohiner Ghoraguly, Chandrabindoo, Fossils, Anupam Roy, Somalata Chowdhury, Lalon Band, James, Ayyub Bachhu, Arman Alif, Miles, Baul Sukumar etc etc. I have a playlist of more than 200 great Bengali pop rock songs from West Bengal and Bangladesh.

I really enjoy watching your perspective and the open mindedness you approach all destinations and cultures with. Often times when I watch Western vloggers visiting foreign countries, especially in the global South, there is an air of cultural superiority they give off and I feel like it blinds them from the charm and beauty of these places and people. I can imagine other vloggers being angry about having to spend however much money at a mandir, but I was happy to see that you understand it just comes as part of the experience, fair or not, especially as a Westerner. Excited to see more.

You have choosen the right way to explore kolkata. It is famously said in Bengali " তুমিও হেঁটে দেখো কলকাতা " which means "you also walk through kolkata" to better know the city. Each and every lanes, streets, old buildings of kolkata showcase the rich diverse culture of the city and obviously the city will give you the original colour of indian freedom struggle durihg british colonial era because most of the revolutionaries were Bengali & from Kolkata.
