The Unhappy Traveler: A New Yorker In India

noflylist · May 17th, 2007, 07:50

Accurately describes the experience of travelling in sleeper class.

But funny? I guess if reality is funny then it can be for some people!

TracyB · May 17th, 2007, 07:59

I am really enjoying those videos!! Very good!!

kristinm · May 17th, 2007, 08:01

Actually he looks a bit happier in this one!

thanks for sharing !!

cameragirlnyc · May 17th, 2007, 09:54

yes, he does seem happier! i guess this one's not funny...it's a sad one, but he's happier. If you watch part 1 I think it's pretty funny.

thanks for watching!! you can rate the vids if you sign on, too.

Bloke appears less miserable in part 2. Good job guy! Looks like he has resigned himself to let India sink in instead of fighting it.

I'm not a member of lonely planet, so I can't rate the video. However, I think it deserves a fair-good rating

Loved your first one, but this one is even better! It's so great on so many levels...from typical life on the train, the travel tough (Bronx?) boyfriend who digs into that big plate of biryani with a smile, great soulfull background music. Good job!

How does one vote for this on the contest? Do you just sign up with that site to vote?

I hope to see more episodes of the unhappy traveller, especially through Calcutta.

Keep them coming, cameragirlnyc

love it! great music that goes along with it....

but how is the subway in NY any different from the indian train? the cows, I guess....

jjacquemain · May 17th, 2007, 22:12

I loved all of the videos! Looking forward to more!

cameragirlnyc · May 17th, 2007, 22:34

Yes, cows don't go over so well in the subways here. Its a shame because they certainly add character.

ba9rn · May 17th, 2007, 22:47

Will these vids be available on DVD eventually? They are very professional.

Shiver me Timbers · May 17th, 2007, 22:59

That video really makes me miss being in India.......I can't wait to see if he ends up loving the place, or what.....

Ramon is a Dominican New Yorker- he actually grew up on the UWS, but the UWS was a different type of place those days. We are hoping for some sort of distribution! Express your interest in the comments on the LPTV site to give them some bright ideas. However, if nothing else I'll produce a dvd and probably sell it off my website. In the meantime, thanks again for all the support! keep passing on the clips! happy travels.

hey thanks for all the comments. this actually wasn't scripted. the charm of ramon is that he'll actually say he thought he would find belly dancers in india! well, part 2 is up now, so you can see how far he's come. thanks for posting the link to liron's video!!
