This video accounts the 106 days we spent in Jodhpur, India during the global pandemic. During this time we journaled our experiences throughout India's Nationwide Lockdown and their Unlock 1.0 plan. This video shows our ups and downs, as we settled into daily life in lockdown. We explored the city, joined our hotel owner's family for family gatherings, attended our first Indian wedding ceremonies, and learned some words and saying in Hindi, which gave us a very unique and authentic local experience. We are eternally grateful for Manu, the owner of Dev Kothi, for allowing us to stay at his hotel during this time. This experience was one of a kind, and although being stuck in India wasn't part of our original plan for 2020, we are so grateful for the genuine experience we had! Namaste from India, Jennifer and Elliot Vlog #110 || Jodhpur, India #India #Rajasthan #Jodhpur #pandemicstories #lifeinlockdown #vlogumentary _______________________ H O T E L Dev Kothi, Boutique Heritage Home Stay Phone: 992 991 4751 Phone: 982 858 3340 Location: Kili Khana, Near Shiv Mandir, Jodhpur - 342002 Email: devkothi@gmail.com Suraj Haveli Phone: +91 92143 72143 Location: Near Suttar Khana Ki Gali, Naya Bass, Manak Chowk, Jodhpur, 342002, India Email: info@surajhaveli.com _______________________ S U N D A Y S U M M A R Y We send out a weekly email with our travel updates — https://www.anurbanjourney.com/ _______________________ S U P P O R T ☺ FREE ways to show us support — https://www.anurbanjourney.com/say-thanks _______________________ G E A R ↠ Vlog Camera — https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BV14OXA?tag=anurbanjourne-20 ↠ All Our Gear — https://www.anurbanjourney.com/travel-resources/gear _______________________ C H A P T E R S The one where... 00:00 Intro 02:22 We didn't know what to do 04:29 We contact the US Embassy 07:46 We observed the Jantar Curfew 08:05 Our flights were canceled 11:37 We get snacks 12:54 We got branded 13:44 We eat upma 14:47 We try Aloo Paratha 15:38 Surprise health screenings 16:57 Elliot got tested for Covid-19 19:17 We light candles for service workers 20:34 We learn new cards games 21:40 The cow 21:55 We eat mushroom paalak 22:48 Elliot helps Vasu make TikTok videos 25:51 We were interviewed for the local newspaper 27:58 We saw smoke 28:24 We learn how to make cheese naan 29:30 It rained in the desert state 30:03 Jen stars in Vasu's TikTok 31:39 Elliot makes lattes 32:25 We Zoom called our friends stuck in Cambodia @thepassportcouple 32:43 We learned how to TikTok 33:07 Elliot shows Vasu our TikTok 34:45 Elliot's sister graduates from college 35:23 Family zoom calls 35:30 We celebrate Jodhpur's Birthday 36:40 The haircut 37:37 We learn how to make Masala Chai 39:14 We fasted on Eid Al-Fitr for Ramadan 44:46 We meet the neighbors 45:50 We leave the hotel 46:20 We experience storms in a desert state 47:18 We try paalak paratha 47:48 We celebrate HB's Birthday 49:22 We learn how to eat Indian style 50:25 We take morning walks 50:59 We enjoy family dinners 51:22 We learn magic tricks 51:50 We attend a surprise party 52:37 Onions, dogs, and a lake 53:24 Jen played musical chairs 54:39 We attended a pizza party 55:47 We took a morning walk 56:24 We visit a local market 57:23 We witnessed an Indian wedding celebration 58:44 We visited an Indian wholesale market 1:00:00 We experienced a sand storm 1:00:28 Vasu teaches us how to make Upma 1:02:59 Vasu leaves 1:05:45 We attended an Indian Wedding - Part 1 1:09:38 We attended an Indian Wedding - Part 2 1:11:26 We (almost) booked a flight 1:13:15 We planned travel during a pandemic 1:14:13 We tried Bhati Dal Bhati 1:18:39 We actually booked flights 1:21:30 We said goodbyes 1:22:33 The Last One 1:25:25 Bloops _______________________ M U S I C We get all of our music from Epidemic Sound (30 day free trial here) https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/u9gua3/ ________________ F R I E N D S + Website: [https://www.anurbanjourney.com/] + Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/anurbanjourney/] + Facebook: [https://fb.me/anurbanjourney] + TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@anurbanjourney] ________________ A B O U T U S Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Thank you for following us along our journey! ________________ Note — Some of these links are affiliates. We recommend stuff we love and if you like it also they might give us a small kick back.
