I'm exhausted!!! I wish he'd slowed down to draw breath. That headband is annoying but perhaps he perspires a lot.
If it was to keep his brains in place…..it failed.
I decided to go to the Youtube link and see what comments had been left. I'd only read a few, typical of people who have never really travelled further than their own town boundary, before I saw a link to Cobra Gypsies. This is a far better travelogue/documentary: informative and opens the eyes to a part of Indian society that probably isn't known about and most likely only glimpsed at during entertainment periods at hotels.

How I enjoyed this, Hepzibah
Since 1996, I have occasionally had the chance to dance with a famous Kalbeliya dancer and her tribe when they have visited Denmark and I have run into them in Sweden and Egypt.
They have happily performed in Alexandria and Cairo and I do not believe that they have had issues entering the country.
I could not sit still while watching this respectful documentary - I really feel the difference in my belly after giggling loudly during the first video. The good thing about his headband is that you will assume that it is from the eighties, while the glimpse of Kalbeliya life is timeless.
I follow a number of travel vloggers and whilst it's fair to say some have encountered various issues with border crossings/security stops at times, I can't think of any that have slammed a whole country and vehimently advised people not to go there.
Let's be real about this, that guy is making money out of the whole situation regardless: a) because he still got to make his food blog; b) because he got to make a negative blog about the country he'd just made money from.
He's quids in everytime someone goes and opens either or both vlog. That doesn't seem right under the circumstances.

These times they are a changing. My first time in Egypt I got a sneaky shot of a military aircraft at Luxor airport on my way home. I've videod Police harassing locals. I've shot Egyptian prisons. I filmed a Ramadan procession from Prison balcony. One guard objected making a grab for the camcorder. His colleague pointed out I am inside filming outward. You don't need a whopping big camera which gets noticed.
