My 1st Day In Karachi, Pakistan (I'm Overwhelmed!)
I am in Karachi Pakistan and today is my first day exploring this massive city of over 20 million people the plan is to catch a ride to go to one of the local markets here where I will be searching for something very specific do you think it's safe here for tourists do I need personal security yes yes and spoiler my time at the market will turn into a very overwhelming experience GS everywhere with machine that is something that I find very crazy here after that I will try something I have heard is very unique in Pakistan A Classic Barber Shop shave oh wow oh W I am a bit nervous about navigating this massive City on my first day here but I'm also very excited let's get some first impressions of Karachi Pakistan feel free to join me all right actually I just wanted to book a ride with the kareim taxi app but I'm searching for more than 10 minutes already and I just can't find a ride so I need a plan B and maybe I can just uh catch a ride here on the streets and this building

you're from Pakistan let me know in the comments and know we have many of these old buildings here oh and it's noisy here I hope the sound is okay for you guys but yeah we have many of these old

independent okay and here we actually have a market area already oh this looks perfect actually already oh yeah this is my kind of area here I'm not sure if this is already the market where I wanted

a chai like like a milk tea right milk tea okay yes thank you so much yeah yeah yeah oh it's actually my first uh Pakistani tea oh good thank you okay my first time trying tea in Pakistan let's give it a try it's good it's a sweet milk tea similar for example like the tii tea the typical Thai tea but in Thailand you usually get it with ice so in a cold version and this is a a hot tea here oh thank you very much you always drink tea hot not with ice no no no ice hot is more popular okay yeah some countries for some reason they prefer hot tea and some countries they prefer iced tea although here of course it's also very hot country so it would be refreshing to drink it with ice but if they are enjoying the tea hot here then I'm doing the same I want to ask you something um Pakistan has The Stereotype of being not so safe do you think it's safe here for tourists very security system saving I see so many security everywhere and military police yes yes this one government potion is the so would you say it's safe for foreigners personal security personal security this one personal security do I need personal security yes yes yes yes I'm not sure if uh if we understand each other correct this one very fine you think I need security yes I need security yes oh do I really understand that right so you think it's not safe for me if I for example I want to go to Clifton Beach yes yes you think for me it's safe to go okay I think was a bit of a misunderstanding I can go no problem no problem no problem all all all Karachi is the safe okay okay all safe okay that's what I wanted to hear Karachi is safe because yeah you probably know Pakistan doesn't have the best reputation to be like a very safe country and I told you already in my first video that when I announced on my Instagram that I'm going to Pakistan I got many many comments and DMS from people oh don't go there it's not safe because people have the stereotype about Pakistan in in their head but I can say so far I feel totally all right here of course there's also a high level of security everywhere and guards police everywhere oh this Facebook right yes yeah I'm on Facebook and Tik Tok and YouTube this is a fake profile yeah there are many scammers on Facebook pretending to be me scamming my viewers be careful but this is the official uh site here canro follow follow oh thank you very much Tik Tok

fit Max okay thank you bye-bye byebye once again um the people here are so friendly and uh I think 1,500 sounds like an honest price to me so I think that was a good purchase what I actually find very crazy here in Karachi is uh this what do you think this is looks like a prison wall right but this is actually the wall of a five star hotel and every five star hotel I have seen so far has walls like this there are guards everywhere with heavy machine guns and it's the same in my hotel I feel almost like in a prison when I'm in my hotel because the whole area is surrounded with walls looking like this guards everywhere with machine guns so that is something that I find very crazy here it seems to be the case for every festar Hotel here very very high level of security check out the police here I have to get used to that seeing police everywhere with heavy machine guns that is something uh I'm not used to see in my country and I always think there must be a reason for the police being heavily armed here all right I just changed my shirt by the way so let's see if I can find a place to get a shave just shave just shave easy no I don't want to buy a machine I want to get a shave like a baba shop corner corner corner I'm looking for a place where I can get a shave you can get you want to make your shave yeah yeah yeah okay it yeah right turn to left corner left corner when you finish that street yeah turn to left left again there is some s for make your shave and your hairs you can change your person thank you very much okay yeah whenever you struggle to find something in Pakistan just ask the locals they always that's my impression at least so far here very very helpful I mean we saw examples of that already before in this video hello hello oh I'm just looking for a shave shave yeah yeah I heard over there right one left left again okay ah he confirmed he basically said the same that the other gentleman also said left here and then left again at the end of the road all right I just found the shop that the guys were leading me to and the moment I entered the shop I I think I recognize it because another famous vlogger did a video in this shop I think it was that shop and when they saw my camera they said oh no filming here please which is of course absolutely fine if they don't want to if they don't want me to film in their shop no problem but uh yeah maybe that has something to do with the video that the other vlogger did there I think that video has a couple of million views so maybe they raren too happy about that video and that's why they didn't want me to film in their shop so I'm going to search for a different shop shop them yeah whenever I'm entering like uh shops like haircut places or places where I can get a shape I always ask them if that's okay if I F sometimes I cut it out of the video hello sometimes I leave it in the video maybe you saw it before so of course also this time I asked them and they said no please don't film here hello Alum can I get a shave here you yeah just a clean shave are you sure okay how much 250 250 okay tell okay can I make a video about the shape okay okay let's go hello oh you're not waiting I don't want to steal your waiting uh que waiting no waiting no waiting here oh but if these gentleman were here first I can wait okay no no no no waiting it's stuff ah stuff yes oh so many stuff here yes stuff I thought everyone here is waiting and I don't want to steal their their queue okay let me let me put my back can I put it oh over there okay oh it's a very comfortable seat very comfortable yeah I think this is probably the most comfortable chair I ever had in a barber shop please remind me about the sunglasses later don't want to forget them here smells good it's a very fresh smell to it oh this is the Gillette shaving foam every country country I've been to so far they always use Gillette seems to be the number one brand for barers all around the world where I from
