I’ve been eagerly waiting for the day I could see you in Kabul, but sadly, I didn’t get the chance to meet you 😪. I truly wish I could have been your translator, guiding you across the country to show you, and the world, that Afghanistan is so much more than what the media often portrays. Thank you for choosing to come to Afghanistan and for sharing its beauty and culture with the world. I sincerely hope that no one harassed, threatened, or offended you during your journey. If anything like that did happen, I deeply apologize on behalf of my country 🙃. I hope you leave with wonderful memories of Afghanistan and its people. Wishing you all the best, and I hope you’ll visit us again soon! 🤲
@@carriepatsalis Hello Kerry, the problem of the Afghan people with the Taliban is not only the restrictions imposed by them on women and girls. Afghanistan is a very diverse country in terms of ethnicity and language, and no ethnic group has a majority here, and the Taliban are a strong ethnic group, and (99) percent of them belong to only one ethnic group, the Pashtuns. Their language is also Pashto and it is different from other languages of Afghanistan, and according to international statistics, Pashtuns make up between (30) and (35) percent of the population of Afghanistan, and the rest of the people of Afghanistan are from other ethnic groups. In particular, the other three major tribes of Afghanistan, the Hazaras, live in the central regions of Afghanistan, such as the provinces of Bamyan, Daikundi, Ghazni, Ghor, Maidan, Wardak, Sarpol, Parwan and Uruzgan. and other provinces as well as Tajiks and Uzbeks who live in the northern and western provinces of Afghanistan.
@@carriepatsalis A government has been formed by the Taliban for the time being (99) percent of which is made up of Pashtuns, that is, the Taliban's own ethnicity, and Tajiks and Uzbeks are only (1) included in the Taliban government, which is symbolic and demonstrative and has no real authority at all, and the Hazaras which constitute (25) percent of the population of Afghanistan, they have been completely left out of the government because their religion is different from the Taliban, that is, they follow the Shia religion, while the Taliban follow the Sunni religion, and the Taliban even use Persian as their language The mother tongue of Tajiks is Hazara and it is actually the biggest language of Afghanistan and seventy percent of the people of Afghanistan know it and can speak it and it is the national language of Afghanistan and the Taliban discriminates against this language and they continuously try to erase it and their language means replace it with the Pashto language, and in the same way, the Taliban allow many atrocities and discriminations against the non-Pashtun ethnic groups of Afghanistan, especially the Hazaras, which cannot be mentioned here.

Sister Carrie, Thank you so much for letting us join you. In many ways you have done what no other “TH-camr” (which you are not) could do. Being sincere with every interaction and your intention of going! I can’t wait to see where we will go next! Blessings & Love You ☺️
You are a courageous woman, a powerful lightworker, and more special than people realize. Thank you for all you do for those who are struggling. May you be protected in your endeavors and may that protection extend to the women whose stories you have heard. You are changing lives and contributing to a better world.

Such moving last words about Afghanistan, Carrie. My heart breaks for girls and women in Afghanistan and I sincerely hope that the Taliban reconsider their decision on women's lives. It is a real tragedy to a country who has such hospitable and warm people.
There are still online educations for girls and you have to understand , this is nothing to do with politics but it’s afghan culture that women are not allowed to study because many families in Afghanistan and outside of Afghanistan that don’t like that their women go to university or get work or education so you have to understand culture and we must try to change the culture, the mindset of people there!
@@Hosaizzz Yes, I understand that in rural areas people are more conservative and impose stricter rules on women and girls. And not only in Afghanistan but in other countries as well. This is true. But a few years ago and also in the past, women did not have to wear a burka but could choose to either wear a burka or just a hijab. (I am sure there are many other cover ups which I don't know the name of). And in the past women were allowed to work or study in university in Afghanistan. And the new ruling of ALL women not being allowed to speak in public! and making it law to wear the burka is definitely coming from the Taliban regime which is now government. I don't want to criticise your country, believe me. I am speaking as a mother who has a heart and I feel for children and want the best for them. And it breaks my heart every time I see children suffering. And it is definitely every country's government fault if they allow this to happen. And this is a world wide problem.
@@CupOfTea834 Where are you from.? If you are from Europe or west, than first ask your government to stop killing our women and children.! That's more important than darty western education for afghan girls.!
I'll answer this concern fairly, and hope I don't appear a feminist, marxist, or other "label." Further, I wish to enlighten you, not attack you, for the error on your part is not your fault; I digress. The right to work in the West doesn't equate with the right to fair: wage, mortgage rate, or rent. This problem is over 200 years in the making, not going away anytime soon. I understand corporations and governments need to dilute the labor pool to reduce wages and bargaining power, but the rights of families, children, and other heads of households matter in every society too, in fact moreso. Why must dual income families merely subsist when a single income should suffice just the same? This is unfair to society. In fact, if a single person works 2 jobs from home, it is considered fraud to the employer, yet, paying half a salary isn't considered fraud, nor slavery. There are muslim women working worldwide in tech, yet they get jobs for western _small_ web businesses that pay less then $10 an hour, and that's for programming skills, nonetheless. So, when they work, either your society readily exploits them, or you want their own poor society to exploit them? At least Western society should volunteer to pay well abroad, as they earn well. Either way, its oppressive to not pay well, but coerce a woman to trade her right to a family for the right to perform servitude. If they work locally, they get regular jobs cleaning dozens of toilets, cooking for 100s of men, sewing for factories, teaching 400 kids, or other jobs like sales, and in the end merely get enough to live in debt. Why not just get married and cook for family, hem your garments, wash your laundry, teach your kids, and only clean your own toilet? Further, for sexuality, with everyone working, unmarried girls are harrassed to work to earn income for the household. A smart girl thus, needs to circulate the dating pool and find a rich catch to not work. Furthermore, men play kinky games to control the now "independent" female person, who has no family and community support to count on. How is any of this good for the poorest women in a society? I agree things need to change. Both genders should educate and adopt a global level of education, work ethic, productivity, and positive familial relationships, vs slavery to a mother-in-law or husband or wife or boss or bank or government. I apologize for the length, but for what I lack in brevity I offer my sincerity.
You have done a wonderful job with your Afghanistan travel series. You celebrate what is positive about the culture while not shying away from what is wrong. I too feel Islamic architecture is incredibly beautiful. You see it in cultures too where Islam has touched such as Mombassa, Kenya, The Taj Mahal in India, The Alhambra in Spain. That garden in Kabul is amazing considering the years of war as well as the shrine. Your trip reminded me of the years I spent in Saudi Arabia where the people were so generous and kind. Nice to meet you Carrie.
Thank you so much! I really want to visit Saudi! I have one london video coming.. then after that we will be jumping into the Alhambra and also the Mezquita-Catedral in Cordoba.. one of the most incredible Islamic architectural sites I have witnessed.. you might enjoy them 😍
Carrie, Nice to had you in my homeland and a special thanks to Mohammad Jan for his guidance and for being a part of your vlog in Afghanistan tour, I wish to see you back in Afghanistan. Be happy and have safe trip back to UK.
That is nice that you have enjoyed the journey Miss, and thank you for sharing the neutural and unbaised thoughts here, mainly in your conclusion. You are always welcome to visit. Have a safe journey!
Thanks for showing my country to the world, and thank you so much for your heartwarming final bit of outro. Made me shed a few mixed emotions tears. 🥲😥
I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your incredible journey to Afghanistan and for sharing such a heartfelt and eye-opening portrayal of the country's current situation. Watching your journey felt as though you brought Afghanistan right into my home, and I can't express how much it meant to me. I deeply miss Afghanistan, and your work helped me feel connected to its people, culture, and beauty once again, despite the distance. It was difficult to see the harsh realities, especially the heartbreaking ban on local Afghan women from visiting parks, while women from abroad can walk freely. I don't say this with any upset, but it is painful to witness the rights of my own mother and sister taken away. I pray and hope that one day soon, all Afghans will have the freedom to walk wherever they wish without fear or restrictions. Your courage and dedication to showing the real Afghanistan give hope to many of us, and I can't thank you enough. I truly hope to see you, and more like you, travel to Afghanistan again, and perhaps one day, all of us can return home without any worries. With deep gratitude,
That’s a really beautiful note that’s brought a tear to my eye. I am glad my videos have helped you to feel connected and I truly hope one day this country can be free of the oppressive rules that I believe are holding it back.
Thank you! It was definitely different to what I thought I would see.. with the exception of women.. let’s hope that narrative changes as it’s one of the only things this country is now known for. Given the taliban want international recognition you’d think they might work the link out…
Dear Carrie, it is sad and heartbreaking that the extreme elements within the Taliban group is currently thriving and am hoping this come to an end when reason takes over personality politics within this group. The conclusion of your first assignment is an A+. I don't think your semester on the study of Afghanistan is totally concluded! As you have said in your conclusion, I will also celebrate the day when Afghan mothers, sisters and wife's gets the same standing in the society as they do within Afghan families. This means trust and respect among both genders and Afghan society as a whole. Being the son of an Afghan mother, I know the scarifies they make, and they are the most resilience women on the planet. I wish, I hope that you continue your connection, your unbiased wonderful work in Afghanistan. looking forward to your next semester Lol 😊. Aroha and respect from New Zealand.
That’s a lovely comment to read.. and thank you.. it’s so tough for women there right now.. and it was so tough knowing that most of their problems could be solved if the attitude towards women changed.. there would be immediate changes.. sanctions for one would likely be removed.. its hard not to feel angry about it.
@@carriepatsalis I absolutely agree with you. it is about attitude and greater good. I hope and I wish the leaders of Talibs rethink it. I hope to see you visiting NZ too!
Your commentary on kite fighting was 😂😂. You are always welcome to Afghanistan. I hope a day comes when we can show the world our country and culture in peace, prosperity and equality for everyone.
Dear Carrie🥰🥰🥰 Special thanks for your series about this beatiful country and cities. I have friends from Kabul and I want to know more about their culture. I learn dari , read history and watch films about this region. My English is not enough to explane how thanksfull I am.
Thank you Carrie for showing us what’s Afghanistan and Afghanis look like. What a an amazing country and lovely people they are. You’re such a brave lady ❤️
I'm thankful for sharing your nice trip in our beautiful country, Afghanistan . One thing that made me sad ,our sisters haven't allowed to visit the public park or gardens. I hope we have a brighter day after that.thanks again for your videos and wish you more success.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree.. it’s crazy seeing children running around safely and hearing that women can’t go ‘to keep them safe’.. how are the kids safe then? Babur gardens has security too.. so the idea behind it is nonsense.
Some of the scenes reminded me of a great book, "The Kite Runner", by Khaled Hosseini. Highly recommended. And thank you, Carrie, for taking us along on a wonderful journey through Afghanistan.
Just finished watching your show I absolutely loved it Your smile and your personality are very relaxing Great job in Afghanistan Made me an even happier woman seeing a Red Headed Brit I'm a Scot now US Keep traveling and we'll keep on watching.😊😊❤ Keep
Tashakur for visiting my beautiful Afghanistan 🇦🇫 so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please 🙏 pray 🙏 for our girls to go school and let’s pray for a brighter tomorrow. 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💍🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️🇦🇫❤️
Thank you so much for visiting Afghanistan and show the world, I live in Afghanistan for 22 years. I didn’t see all Afghanistan, thank you for showing us ❤️🌹🌹🌹
There are Afghan refugees in Lajpat Nagar in Delhi and I really love Afghani Burgers, Mantu and Sheer Yakh there. The food is great and people are really friendly.
So nice.when ever I watch travel vlogs.all of u give so much respect to local people.and mingle so nicely. Beautiful afganistan and beautiful central Asia.unexplored.
thank you for this beautiful afghanistan series. I, a woman, would never dare to go there and i appreciate you very much for your work and showing us insights in this country that the mass media dont show. i really hope taliban will change their minds and allow woman to work and to get education.
Love you're videos, this kite flying reminds myself when I was young girl, as I grew up with brother's in late 70s early 80s and was really good fun and really enjoyed watching and hope they can thrive ❤❤❤
That sounds like a lovely memory.. I saw one young girl there, but was sad to think that her kite flying days were numbered.. let’s hope things change soon.
Nice documentary, I thoroughly enjoy a perspective not influenced by modern falsehoods. As an American thank you for such a wonderful perspective on a culture we never have exposure to the real culture behind our false perspective of the planet.
Thank you.. we are always shown either black or white.. and the more I travel the more I look for this middle area.. the grey.. it’s larger than we are ever shown and always offers the possibility of alignment with another culture for shared values etc. And whilst I would say the situation for women is exactly as we are shown and pressure must remain for it to change, other areas of the country have positives.. and of course lovely local afghans who never get seen beyond the narratives of the Taliban and women’s rights.
I just discovered your channel and watched the entire Afghanistan series in one go. I admire how you approach everyone with lightness and sparkle❤Love from the Netherlands. I just came back from Doğubeyazıt, 20km from Iran and I am humble with a melancholy heart for people who live in oppression due to descent🩵🍀
I was think woman weren't allowed to speaking in public anymore over there 🗣️ I'm glad that you can still enjoy your time thank you for share the video
Those are just propaganda who wants to paint their opponent as this bad guy and all. Keep in mind, we don't rebuild our civilization instantly like an apple fall from the tree without thinking of other issues out there. We need to keep balance as well then we can maintain the stability of infrastructure.
Ladies are allowed to talk, shop, and do what seems daily chores, but it does not mean they are free to work, go to school and share their thoughts freely. One of the reason taliban allowing foreigners to visit and film is just to achieve international recognition and legitimacy. For sure, there is not room for extremism as it exhibited by taliban toward ladies. Wish for a world free of discrimination, extremism, prejudice and centered on Humanity
@@sahotamarie71 what an amazing culture (barf) weeks ago they appear to be talking to a woman -for propaganda purposes- and just a few weeks later "sorry, our sharia kicked in high gear now , so it's stoning time for you!"
I appreciate the effort to travel and explore a complex place like Afghanistan, but I find it deeply troubling that the Taliban were spoken about in a positive light, even at the end. The fact that women's rights were only briefly mentioned is concerning, considering that the Taliban systematically strip women of their basic freedoms and human rights. It’s difficult to say anything positive about a regime that oppresses half of its population. While I respect different perspectives, it feels unsettling to see her travel as a tourist while Afghan women are denied their basic rights.
It's not like she could say anything bad about them while she's in the country. The Taliban kill people or torture them. It's safer to criticise from the UK where nothing bad will happen.
i am Buddhist but i have this to say if people learn to mind their own business as 1, Afghanistan is not your country, You are not Afghan. 2, You westerners all want lesser migrants yet you stick your noses into other people's business and you wonder why terrorists are targetting western countries? Coz you continue to stick your noses into other people's business. You want these terrorists to stop so stop sticking your noses into other countries it's not your country so fuck off
Afganistan people may be a good people as their islamic sharia has holy lying (taqiya) and they pretend to the outsider they are tolerant. In reality, they hate you. Read the Quran.
Hello lady, I hope you are well and healthy. I am a resident of Afghanistan. I have been away from my homeland for many years. I watched the program that was on Nader khan hill My home is also safe. Watching this video made me watch all the videos carefully. I really enjoyed some of the people. I saw it in your video, I recognized it and refreshed my memory in the hope that I will return to my homeland again 🥺
It was absolutely amazing watching your video, reminded me of my childhood, you’ve been very brave going there, it’s years I am thinking to go never get the chance, watching your videos makes me even more eager to go 😂
I would never be able to visit Afghanistan thinking that my Afghan sisters cannot even enjoy all the nice things you have showed us. No happiness, no laughing, no smiling for them.
Thank you for doing this and sharing your experiences and thoughts. I’m deeply troubled by the treatment of women and pray that things change exponentially in their favor ❤
The women are treated just fine their /. Watch the video you can see them enjoying themselves with the kids buying them cotton a candy . You will see other women in the bazaars . They are allowed to walk freely .
Thank you, Carrie and Muhammad Jan, I have laughed and cried with you through this series. I have much hope for Afghanistan. The people are so beautiful, so generous. The land is breathtaking, and I agree with you Carrie, Islamic architecture is my favourite too. Without Western interference and destabilisation, i pray they will find their way, and women will have their voice and freedom. Inshallah. To the women of Afghanistan, we see you🤲 ❤️❤❤
Afghanistan is a very beautiful and amazing country despite what media portrays it as thank you for taking your time to visit you should visit Uzbekistan too we are very related ethnically and historically!
Wow...this is a lovely video for your last day, Carrie. You wonder what these little boys flying their kites are thinking, don't you? It's all so innocent yet...where are their sisters? What messages are they being given? The juxtaposition of them adoring you and you being among them and yet their own women can't.
I agree.. interesting I showed it to my boys and they commented on what a shame it was. Women were stopped on the way up the hill.. can you imagine stopping women from enjoying a view? I was stopped as they thought I was local.. when they realised I was foreign they were like ‘oh fine you can go’…
@@carriepatsalis Very sad. I'm glad you are home safe. I'm glad you did the vlog. It was very interesting and though at times one could sense your frustration you did this with amazing sensitivity. Thanks. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Just finished watching this episode Carrie. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. The kite competition is all about 70% thread, 20% the kite size and balance and 10% the technique used by the person. Best thread is mixed with smashed gluey glass like dust. That can cut others threads easily.
That is fascinating.. I was wondering if it’s all about strength to pull! I couldn’t figure out how they were doing this cutting! Thanks for the explanation! I actually went to fly a kite last weekend.. for me just keeping it in the air was enough 😂😅
Nice 👍 Carrie from stat to end all the vlog was very nice to see TQ Carrie and yourself also anjoy your journey in Afghanistan all the video was amazing keep on move Lady I am from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Afghanistan Zindabad
Thank you so much for the lovely video showcasing the reality of Afghanistan and countering the negative narratives often promoted by corporate media. The kite flying was a wonderful addition to your experience and reminded me of my childhood, when I used to chase kites. I recall one time when my cousin and I ran for about two kilometers trying to catch a kite, but we never managed to get it. My hands would often get multiple cuts from the sharp threads. I also witnessed many kids falling from rooftops and sustaining serious injuries. Despite these hazards, flying kites and spending time with local kids was always a joy. Now, seeing children in Western countries engrossed in computers and phones, damaging their eyes, makes me reflect on how different their experiences are. Many follow a monotonous routine of school, home, bed, and repeat, missing out on the chance to truly enjoy their childhood with friends. I want to leave you with this thought: one reason Afghan people accepted the Taliban was their exhaustion with the previous corrupt government, powerful warlords, drug mafias, human traffickers, drug abuse, and widespread insecurity. Over 500 people were being killed daily. I hope the current government brings improvements in girls' education and work opportunities.
That is a lovely account of kite flying.. your description took me along with you. 🥰. For me I did meet people (and subsequently have met many Afghan people in the U.K. ) who are unable to return to Afghanistan and their view is very different on the Taliban. However I hope I brought balance.. one thing I didn’t get to say in my video is that the second big thing that needs to happen for long term stability is the acceptance of other indigenous groups cultures in Afghanistan, of which they make up a vast part of the population .. and don’t share the same ideologies.. for me to see them banned from cultural practises such as playing music and wearing traditional clothes is of course not right.. but I did meet some progressive Taliban members lower down the chain of command.. perhaps one day they will grow and take over from the super conservatives at the top.
@@carriepatsalis hopping from one comment to the next lol. There are actually two wings of the Taliban. The right wing Taliban (who is in power right now) that want to restrict women and make the country super conservative, and there is the left wing Taliban who want a bit more equality for women (having them return to work and school etc) Its not perfect by any means but at least there's a legitimate and official resistance within the government that wants to modernize the country. My only fear is that i don't want another civil war to happen as a result.
Thank you Carrie, you are such an amazing woman, I felt there was a balanced view, you did not only focus on the negatives but also shed light on the positives such as hospitality of local Afghans, it is sad to see many people around the globe judge Afghans based on the popular narratives dominated caused by media focusing soley on Terrorism, norcotics and gender inequality. Loads of love and respect for you!
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I’ve been eagerly waiting for the day I could see you in Kabul, but sadly, I didn’t get the chance to meet you 😪. I truly wish I could have been your translator, guiding you across the country to show you, and the world, that Afghanistan is so much more than what the media often portrays.

Thank you so much! I really want to visit Saudi! I have one london video coming.. then after that we will be jumping into the Alhambra and also the Mezquita-Catedral in Cordoba.. one of the most incredible Islamic architectural sites I have witnessed.. you might enjoy them 😍
Carrie, Nice to had you in my homeland and a special thanks to Mohammad Jan for his guidance and for being a part of your vlog in Afghanistan tour,
I wish to see you back in Afghanistan.
Be happy and have safe trip back to UK.
Thanks so much, I am really glad you enjoyed this series 🥰
That is nice that you have enjoyed the journey Miss, and thank you for sharing the neutural and unbaised thoughts here, mainly in your conclusion. You are always welcome to visit. Have a safe journey!
Thanks a lot cariee for visiting and showing my beautiful country and culture to the world
Thanks for showing my country to the world, and thank you so much for your heartwarming final bit of outro. Made me shed a few mixed emotions tears. 🥲😥
It’s been a pleasure to get to know afghans more.. and I hope my outro was as balanced as possible ❤️
Oh thanks you Carrie
I looked Kabul cultural foods environment due to your video ❤
Your wonderful series about Afghanistan made me want to travel there as a tourist
I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your incredible journey to Afghanistan and for sharing such a heartfelt and eye-opening portrayal of the country's current situation. Watching your journey felt as though you brought Afghanistan right into my home, and I can't express how much it meant to me. I deeply miss Afghanistan, and your work helped me feel connected to its people, culture, and beauty once again, despite the distance. It was difficult to see the harsh realities, especially the heartbreaking ban on local Afghan women from visiting parks, while women from abroad can walk freely. I don't say this with any upset, but it is painful to witness the rights of my own mother and sister taken away. I pray and hope that one day soon, all Afghans will have the freedom to walk wherever they wish without fear or restrictions. Your courage and dedication to showing the real Afghanistan give hope to many of us, and I can't thank you enough. I truly hope to see you, and more like you, travel to Afghanistan again, and perhaps one day, all of us can return home without any worries.
With deep gratitude,
That’s a really beautiful note that’s brought a tear to my eye. I am glad my videos have helped you to feel connected and I truly hope one day this country can be free of the oppressive rules that I believe are holding it back.
I've loved watching your visit to Afghanistan, its been a real eye opener. 👍
Thank you! It was definitely different to what I thought I would see.. with the exception of women.. let’s hope that narrative changes as it’s one of the only things this country is now known for. Given the taliban want international recognition you’d think they might work the link out…
Dear Carrie, it is sad and heartbreaking that the extreme elements within the Taliban group is currently thriving and am hoping this come to an end when reason takes over personality politics within this group. The conclusion of your first assignment is an A+. I don't think your semester on the study of Afghanistan is totally concluded!
As you have said in your conclusion, I will also celebrate the day when Afghan mothers, sisters and wife's gets the same standing in the society as they do within Afghan families. This means trust and respect among both genders and Afghan society as a whole. Being the son of an Afghan mother, I know the scarifies they make, and they are the most resilience women on the planet. I wish, I hope that you continue your connection, your unbiased wonderful work in Afghanistan. looking forward to your next semester Lol 😊. Aroha and respect from New Zealand.
That’s a lovely comment to read.. and thank you.. it’s so tough for women there right now.. and it was so tough knowing that most of their problems could be solved if the attitude towards women changed.. there would be immediate changes.. sanctions for one would likely be removed.. its hard not to feel angry about it.
@@carriepatsalis I absolutely agree with you. it is about attitude and greater good. I hope and I wish the leaders of Talibs rethink it. I hope to see you visiting NZ too!
oh damn @@SamMao-b3u
Your commentary on kite fighting was 😂😂. You are always welcome to Afghanistan. I hope a day comes when we can show the world our country and culture in peace, prosperity and equality for everyone.
Dear Carrie🥰🥰🥰
Special thanks for your series about this beatiful country and cities. I have friends from Kabul and I want to know more about their culture. I learn dari , read history and watch films about this region. My English is not enough to explane how thanksfull I am.
I think that’s wonderful you are learning Dari 😍
You are not just an TH-camr, you are queen 🫅 👸 a lot of respect from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 ❤
That’s very kind of you.. thank you for the lovely compliment
Thank you Carrie for showing us what’s Afghanistan and Afghanis look like. What a an amazing country and lovely people they are. You’re such a brave lady ❤️
Thanks for watching.. it was a very interesting journey for me
I'm thankful for sharing your nice trip in our beautiful country, Afghanistan .
One thing that made me sad ,our sisters haven't allowed to visit the public park or gardens. I hope we have a brighter day after that.thanks again for your videos and wish you more success.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree.. it’s crazy seeing children running around safely and hearing that women can’t go ‘to keep them safe’.. how are the kids safe then? Babur gardens has security too.. so the idea behind it is nonsense.
Some of the scenes reminded me of a great book, "The Kite Runner", by Khaled Hosseini. Highly recommended. And thank you, Carrie, for taking us along on a wonderful journey through Afghanistan.
this book was a massive anti-pashtun, pro-war propaganda book. the author khaled hosseini was a friend of pro-war president George Bush
Just finished watching your show I absolutely loved it
Your smile and your personality are very relaxing
Great job in Afghanistan
Made me an even happier woman seeing a Red Headed Brit I'm a Scot now US
Keep traveling and we'll keep on watching.😊😊❤
Keep
That’s so lovely of you Maggie, thank you so much 🥰
We welcome all those who come to our country Afghanistan, they belong to any country. I feel happy when I see any guest happy in Afghanistan.
So you'd welcome me as a former US Soldier?

Thank you for visiting our beautiful country and thank you for showing to the world that Afghanistan is not the same as they showing it in media.
Every video is better than the prevoius one. Awesome film maker with cultured script. Thanks Carolyn !

Thank you so much for visiting Afghanistan and show the world, I live in Afghanistan for 22 years. I didn’t see all Afghanistan, thank you for showing us ❤️🌹🌹🌹
It’s been a pleasure 🥰.. glad you enjoyed it
There are Afghan refugees in Lajpat Nagar in Delhi and I really love Afghani Burgers, Mantu and Sheer Yakh there.
The food is great and people are really friendly.
We Afgans really love Indian people. We have historic friendship & have one common enemy!
So nice.when ever I watch travel vlogs.all of u give so much respect to local people.and mingle so nicely. Beautiful afganistan and beautiful central Asia.unexplored.
I am fan your camera's eye and mic both are very clean and clear. Thanks to sharing kite flying(to remember me my childhood).
Only a beautiful hearted person could make such a lovely watch like this 👌🏽
Thank you 🙏
May God bless Afghanistan more and more 🎉❤
Love watching your videos. Take care Carrie.❤😊 Sarah

thank you for this beautiful afghanistan series. I, a woman, would never dare to go there and i appreciate you very much for your work and showing us insights in this country that the mass media dont show. i really hope taliban will change their minds and allow woman to work and to get education.
Thank you so much Carrie God bless you 🙏 ❤❤ i wish to you all the best 💓
Thank you 🙏
Love you're videos, this kite flying reminds myself when I was young girl, as I grew up with brother's in late 70s early 80s and was really good fun and really enjoyed watching and hope they can thrive ❤❤❤
That sounds like a lovely memory.. I saw one young girl there, but was sad to think that her kite flying days were numbered.. let’s hope things change soon.
Eye opener informative indeed.❤
Thank you 🙏
Nice documentary, I thoroughly enjoy a perspective not influenced by modern falsehoods. As an American thank you for such a wonderful perspective on a culture we never have exposure to the real culture behind our false perspective of the planet.
Thank you.. we are always shown either black or white.. and the more I travel the more I look for this middle area.. the grey.. it’s larger than we are ever shown and always offers the possibility of alignment with another culture for shared values etc. And whilst I would say the situation for women is exactly as we are shown and pressure must remain for it to change, other areas of the country have positives.. and of course lovely local afghans who never get seen beyond the narratives of the Taliban and women’s rights.
Salute to your bravery, you are a brave woman.
May God bless you and thanks for visiting our country.❤❤
Many thanks 🙏
Stunning and brave woman
I just discovered your channel and watched the entire Afghanistan series in one go.
I admire how you approach everyone with lightness and sparkle❤Love from the Netherlands.
I just came back from Doğubeyazıt, 20km from Iran and I am humble with a melancholy heart for people who live in oppression due to descent🩵🍀
Very good of you Carrie knowing details like giving money with the right hand.
I was think woman weren't allowed to speaking in public anymore over there 🗣️ I'm glad that you can still enjoy your time thank you for share the video
Filmed weeks ago
Those are just propaganda who wants to paint their opponent as this bad guy and all. Keep in mind, we don't rebuild our civilization instantly like an apple fall from the tree without thinking of other issues out there. We need to keep balance as well then we can maintain the stability of infrastructure.
Yeh...the country's own women, mate!
Ladies are allowed to talk, shop, and do what seems daily chores, but it does not mean they are free to work, go to school and share their thoughts freely.
One of the reason taliban allowing foreigners to visit and film is just to achieve international recognition and legitimacy. For sure, there is not room for extremism as it exhibited by taliban toward ladies.
Wish for a world free of discrimination, extremism, prejudice and centered on Humanity
@@sahotamarie71 what an amazing culture (barf) weeks ago they appear to be talking to a woman -for propaganda purposes- and just a few weeks later "sorry, our sharia kicked in high gear now , so it's stoning time for you!"
That was a wonderful trip Carrie.
It was very memorable
Thankyou for this wonderful series - I hope I can visit soon.
I am really glad you found it interesting 🥰

Wonderful tour and well captured.
Many thanks 🙏
I appreciate the effort to travel and explore a complex place like Afghanistan, but I find it deeply troubling that the Taliban were spoken about in a positive light, even at the end. The fact that women's rights were only briefly mentioned is concerning, considering that the Taliban systematically strip women of their basic freedoms and human rights. It’s difficult to say anything positive about a regime that oppresses half of its population. While I respect different perspectives, it feels unsettling to see her travel as a tourist while Afghan women are denied their basic rights.
My thoughts exactly. 😢
Fly there and see for yourself 🇦🇫🏳️ don’t believe everything the media shows you
It's not like she could say anything bad about them while she's in the country. The Taliban kill people or torture them. It's safer to criticise from the UK where nothing bad will happen.
i am Buddhist but i have this to say if people learn to mind their own business as 1, Afghanistan is not your country, You are not Afghan. 2, You westerners all want lesser migrants yet you stick your noses into other people's business and you wonder why terrorists are targetting western countries? Coz you continue to stick your noses into other people's business.
You want these terrorists to stop so stop sticking your noses into other countries it's not your country so fuck off
Okay then what about the students protesting for Palestine?? Why the police put them in jail?? Uk my foot@@disabledparentspoliticalun4830

Hey I’m from Afghanistn live 🇺🇸 USA❤So happy welcome to Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Afganistan people may be a good people as their islamic sharia has holy lying (taqiya) and they pretend to the outsider they are tolerant. In reality, they hate you. Read the Quran.
Beautiful video ever, thanks for posting 😊
My pleasure 😊
Hello lady, I hope you are well and healthy. I am a resident of Afghanistan. I have been away from my homeland for many years. I watched the program that was on Nader khan hill My home is also safe. Watching this video made me watch all the videos carefully. I really enjoyed some of the people. I saw it in your video, I recognized it and refreshed my memory in the hope that I will return to my homeland again 🥺
It was absolutely amazing watching your video, reminded me of my childhood, you’ve been very brave going there, it’s years I am thinking to go never get the chance, watching your videos makes me even more eager to go 😂
I am really happy you enjoyed this series. It’s a beautiful country ❤️
Oh you are a brave woman , wish you all the best in my country…!❤
I would never be able to visit Afghanistan thinking that my Afghan sisters cannot even enjoy all the nice things you have showed us. No happiness, no laughing, no smiling for them.
What role ? why every fan things for men men why go to parks and natural green places ? But not women are they prisinors ? @@revivalist355

Thank you for doing this and sharing your experiences and thoughts. I’m deeply troubled by the treatment of women and pray that things change exponentially in their favor ❤
The women are treated just fine their /. Watch the video you can see them enjoying themselves with the kids buying them cotton a candy . You will see other women in the bazaars . They are allowed to walk freely .

Lovely to explore Afghanistan with you from USA
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the series 🥰
can''t get over how beautiful that shrine is
Very beautiful 😍
Thank you, Carrie and Muhammad Jan, I have laughed and cried with you through this series. I have much hope for Afghanistan. The people are so beautiful, so generous. The land is breathtaking, and I agree with you Carrie, Islamic architecture is my favourite too.
Without Western interference and destabilisation, i pray they will find their way, and women will have their voice and freedom. Inshallah.
To the women of Afghanistan, we see you🤲
❤️❤❤
I am so glad this touched you! Let’s hope that life gets easier for them in the future 🥰
Afghanistan is a very beautiful and amazing country despite what media portrays it as thank you for taking your time to visit you should visit Uzbekistan too we are very related ethnically and historically!
I absolutely love Uzbekistan.. I went there with my family a few years ago.
Im blk and rlly want to visit . Beautiful countries, beautiful pppl and cultures. My man is 🇦🇫 so idk what ppl will think
Wow...this is a lovely video for your last day, Carrie. You wonder what these little boys flying their kites are thinking, don't you? It's all so innocent yet...where are their sisters? What messages are they being given? The juxtaposition of them adoring you and you being among them and yet their own women can't.
I agree.. interesting I showed it to my boys and they commented on what a shame it was. Women were stopped on the way up the hill.. can you imagine stopping women from enjoying a view? I was stopped as they thought I was local.. when they realised I was foreign they were like ‘oh fine you can go’…
@@carriepatsalis Very sad. I'm glad you are home safe. I'm glad you did the vlog. It was very interesting and though at times one could sense your frustration you did this with amazing sensitivity. Thanks. Looking forward to your next adventure.
I believe their sisters are at home most likely. Girls play inside probably.
@@carriepatsalis foreign.? No, that's because you are non Muslim.!
Just finished watching this episode Carrie. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. The kite competition is all about 70% thread, 20% the kite size and balance and 10% the technique used by the person. Best thread is mixed with smashed gluey glass like dust. That can cut others threads easily.
That is fascinating.. I was wondering if it’s all about strength to pull! I couldn’t figure out how they were doing this cutting! Thanks for the explanation! I actually went to fly a kite last weekend.. for me just keeping it in the air was enough 😂😅
Everyone every country has right for freedom, Love Afghanistan , Lovely from Indonesia
whole Afghanistan will develop and get very beautiful. Europeans will not get enough of visiting it, and getting inspired by it
I love your generous heart and mentally
Thank you 🙏

Since couple days i Know you you are so kind and i pray to Allah to guide you in right path😊😊 and i'm far from my country 🇦🇫since Long time😢
Thank you so much for the lovely video showcasing the reality of Afghanistan and countering the negative narratives often promoted by corporate media. The kite flying was a wonderful addition to your experience and reminded me of my childhood, when I used to chase kites. I recall one time when my cousin and I ran for about two kilometers trying to catch a kite, but we never managed to get it. My hands would often get multiple cuts from the sharp threads. I also witnessed many kids falling from rooftops and sustaining serious injuries. Despite these hazards, flying kites and spending time with local kids was always a joy.
Now, seeing children in Western countries engrossed in computers and phones, damaging their eyes, makes me reflect on how different their experiences are. Many follow a monotonous routine of school, home, bed, and repeat, missing out on the chance to truly enjoy their childhood with friends.
I want to leave you with this thought: one reason Afghan people accepted the Taliban was their exhaustion with the previous corrupt government, powerful warlords, drug mafias, human traffickers, drug abuse, and widespread insecurity. Over 500 people were being killed daily. I hope the current government brings improvements in girls' education and work opportunities.
That is a lovely account of kite flying.. your description took me along with you. 🥰. For me I did meet people (and subsequently have met many Afghan people in the U.K. ) who are unable to return to Afghanistan and their view is very different on the Taliban. However I hope I brought balance.. one thing I didn’t get to say in my video is that the second big thing that needs to happen for long term stability is the acceptance of other indigenous groups cultures in Afghanistan, of which they make up a vast part of the population .. and don’t share the same ideologies.. for me to see them banned from cultural practises such as playing music and wearing traditional clothes is of course not right.. but I did meet some progressive Taliban members lower down the chain of command.. perhaps one day they will grow and take over from the super conservatives at the top.
@@carriepatsalis hopping from one comment to the next lol. There are actually two wings of the Taliban. The right wing Taliban (who is in power right now) that want to restrict women and make the country super conservative, and there is the left wing Taliban who want a bit more equality for women (having them return to work and school etc) Its not perfect by any means but at least there's a legitimate and official resistance within the government that wants to modernize the country. My only fear is that i don't want another civil war to happen as a result.
Everybody is happy to hear words from you
Here is where the magic happens 😅
🥰
Thank you Carrie, you are such an amazing woman, I felt there was a balanced view, you did not only focus on the negatives but also shed light on the positives such as hospitality of local Afghans, it is sad to see many people around the globe judge Afghans based on the popular narratives dominated caused by media focusing soley on Terrorism, norcotics and gender inequality. Loads of love and respect for you!
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Beautiful video but I believe Shah Jahan was Babur's grandson's grandson (so quite a few generations there).
