number six on the list of  things to do here in Kolkata is to explore modern   Kolkata also known as New Town New Town stands  as a symbol of kolkata's Rapid Urban development   showcasing a blend of modern architecture and  green spaces each pocket of this city that I've   been to is just vastly different I mean this site  is incredibly modern even all of these like walls   down here in the highway are painted in beautiful  vibrant Colors by probably some of the local   painters and artists here the boat's actually  here that you take in Sector 5 but it's a really   cool area like I mean you just have these nice  buildings lit up all around it and just a uh a   lake right in between the city I mean you can even  see the median right here in between the highways   I mean they're still

different uh stores up there there you  go uh jewelry shop over there a jewelry shop yeah   and then at the top it looks like we've got a club  or something Regent Terrace so it is a co-working   space and it's called Happy Works working pod  so I think that's where we can locate some very   fast internet here this is the new part of the  metro station to the airport metro project that   I believe is uh still under construction yeah New  Town reflects kolkata's Progressive Outlook number   seven on the things to do here in Kolkata is to  visit H Bridge the iconic H Bridge or rabindra   setu is a Marvel of engineering that has stood the  test of time since its Inauguration in 1943 this   bridge connects kolata with its Twin City H and  serves as a bustling vein of daily Transportation   all right and here's the H Bridge photography  strictly prohibited yet everybody's taking photos   so I'm a bit confused you can tell it's a really  old bridge what is it like 50 60

an idea   what the prices are to get like a king fisher it's  like $280 which is roughly $3 Corona comes out to   like $7 so I'd say uh pretty good price honestly  it's actually cheaper than getting a
