Then we headed to Newham with @Kingkayaamedia who showed us around another supposedly rough area of London where he grew up. We meet the locals who share their thoughts if this really is a place you should avoid. Welcome to London! 🇬🇧

    Speaking of honesty, there are medical insurances in the US that give you only a fraction of what you pay as premium. They find some excuse to reject your claim. The rip off amount is much higher than this auto driver. There are tons of smelly drug addicts lying on the street in philadelhia, vancouver etc. which you dont see in India. There are also many wrongfully convicted people in the US who are exonerated only when they are old, especially minorities. This doesnt happen so much in India. Every country has its own issues
