because this is the most interesting part for me stick around it's going to be an interesting video for sure I have to say guys I'm really enjoying this shaar cames it is it's not so hot today so I can't really compare it to what it would have been like in Karachi with all the heat and humidity but it feels very light very airy very breathable flowing in the wind and uh I'm loving it so rate the fit in the comments below let me know how I look wow wow chicken chicken very nice I've been invited for lunch guys allum how are you try huh Kawa that's the green tea it's it's good okay okay thank

this ra uh-huh this is a nan nan n and some cucumber and what is this this a very nice pleas okay thank you g thank you so much now we're just going to use some nonan take a piece of meat just like that there we go very good it's tender it's flavorful and simple but cooked to Perfection they're known for their barbecue here in PESA guys and so far it has not disappointed so this dessert is actually not really a rice pudding it's more of a custard and it has just kind of a masala spicy flavor spicy like flavorful not hot spice it's delicious and here I got some Bish showy green tea very popular here they call it kaha sounds very similar to gaha which is like the Arabic coffee but not the same thing this is a green tea although it tastes Vaguely Familiar because I think there's cardamom in both guys I'm about to have the coolest shave of my life okay covering I'm sitting cross-legged on the street right now in Pisha and I'm going to get a nice shave and even though it looks like I don't have any beard I do occasionally need to shave my neck okay guys still waiting on the full beard I feel like a baby compared to all these men with these amazing beards here but uh what can you do [Music] foree should always get a a new blade guys okay here we go fore [Music] all right guys all done what a wonderful shave best shave of my life actually thank you so mucha wow amazing okay onward excuse me okay that was amazing and uh before we continue on guys just take a look at the architecture in this old city here it's there's definitely a lot of colonial architecture here and it is just really really cool this this kind of like Faded Glory old building with really intricate carvings and windows and uh they just melt into this chaotic scene here it it's it's a very very cool Vibe I'm telling you guys it's really weird walking around here until I pull this weird looking camera out or I speak to someone when people look at me they just it's like a passing glance like I think I I actually look like I could blend in here I don't know tell me if I'm wrong but that's what I'm getting cuz normally I'll get a lot of stairs in a place like this but here people just kind of don't seem to notice which is cool the shaar cies helps all right we're continuing on let's see what else we find guys into another Market all right guys I've stopped off this is Z yeah and you're

I've hopped in Rick Shaw and we're going to one one or two more places in this video I have no idea how long this video is I have a feeling it's it's quite long but stick around it's going to be [Music] [Music] cool okay gee all righty guys now for the last stop of this video I've come to a pretty cool place this is called Bobby kyber and uh we are basically right at the foot of the kyber pass so this mountain pass the kyber pass pretty famous one of the most famous mountain passes in the world right through there it'll take you from Pasha which is back that way straight on to jalalabad Afghanistan how are you very good I'm good I am uh your country name uh America America huh but I live in turkey turkey turkey home you are home in Turkey huh yeah and you Pakistani I am aghani Afghani oh nice to meet you pleasure are you Pakistani or Afghani uh I'm Pakistani and this Isani okay oh very good uh you are my my guest thank you so drink that's so nice thank you or this man is a English now very good yeah it is good it is good thank you g nice to meet you so through those mountains right there guys over those mountains you're in Afghanistan now I should have mentioned this at the beginning of the the video but Pasha itself is intricately closely linked to the history of Afghanistan because as you guys probably all know Afghanistan has been through a history of terrible conflicts for decades and decades at this point and through those conflicts Pasha the city here very very close to the Afghan border has served as a sort of hub for various groups that have been fighting in these different conflicts in Afghanistan over the years so for example back in the 1980s it was sort of the headquarters for the mujahedin who were fighting against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and over more recent years there's been quite a bit of Taliban activity in Pisha so the police just came because they're not very used to seeing coroners here and they're asking my Tuk Tok driver some questions all right guys so we're on the road again the police were very nice they were just checking in on us but uh eventually they were like all right it's about time to hit the road this area is still kind of a Taliban stronghold there's a lot of Taliban activity happening here so they were just saying better to get on your way but all good very very cool to see that but truly legendary place on this planet the kyber pass the stuff of Legends so it's just wild all righty guys I have made it back to P safe and sound this was an incredible day so much fun so great meeting so many nice people today hopefully I'll have one more video from Pisha that I'm going to be filming tonight coming up next so stay tuned for that but uh other than that thank you so much for watching I'll see you in the next one bye-bye
