Pakistanis have surprised me with their friendliness. I still need some time to process it while relating it with what is usually presented in the news.
The kindness you were shown, amazing. Have really enjoyed visiting along with you. You have done wonders for others wanting to visit this country. Always looking forward to the next installment of your travels👍
India is crowdy, has unequal wealth distribution, but we don't hide it or fake it by paid bloggers. We are trying hard to make our lives better rather than faking it with our lifestyle. More than 20 million pakistan people lives in India in various parts of Mumbai,old Delhi, rajasthan to make a living. We even allow pakistan people to fish in Indian waters, give them cheap medicines, medical treatment, good education. They return our love with Human bombs. Indian's are not even allowed to enter into pakistan, unless u have relative living their. Shame !
Im touched whenever local ppl showed a great hospitality to any foreigners no matter in what country. Its very nice that you had vlogged 'em all and upload it on the net because those memories would last eternity. You wont forget the name and the face and what they did 🤗🥰
@@BackpackerBen This Train is Clean and good because it's private not government owned! Private Companies have concerns about their profits and reputation on the other hand the government one's DON'T
The guy in the beginning at the platform was asking you about Beckham, David Beckham! You couldn’t catch it cause of his accent. 🇵🇰❤️ And the guy in train compartment talking to you in Urdu was trying to tell you not to leave the compartment alone for safety of your luggage one person has to stay here at all times, that’s what he actually said.
I feel so angry for the hotel in karachi. These guys (hotel owners) cause defamation for the country. I mean look at the ceiling of the room .. horrible... And the advertising board that barriers the outside view from inside the room window. Pakistan government should design a mechanism to control and regulate the hotels in order to insure that these hotels must offer good enough services to compansate for money they charge from their clients.
@@BackpackerBen Karachi i think is one of the unfriendliest city in Pakistan if not the unfriendliest. That was my experience! My experience in the rest of Pakistan was wonderful and also lovely people.
@@billmayor8567 most of the hotel owners in karachi dont belong to karachi. karachi is THE most friendly and helpful city of pakistan, your experience has been limited
You’re one of the more down to earth vloggers, nice job! No sugarcoating. You recently got a buzz. You trim your own hair or went to a barber there in Pakistan? Looks good and tidy. I’ve seen some other videos sporting a goatee, and it looks good too……..I guess being a Brit……….lol! Safe travels, with no emergency toilet issues.
The guy was so caring he said not to leave cabin without someone to watch the luggage because many people people board and you never know who ,how they will be so he was saying be safe .
Ben, I am greatly enjoying all your videos from Pakistan! My fellow supervisor at work is from Pakistan, and I now have a great deal of context when speaking to him about his country of origin. I now understand why he and his wife are such lovely, generous people ... most of the people you encounter in Pakistan are so genuinely lovely.
Their hospitality is out of the world, Oh my god. So humble and heartwarming. Your room neighbour a legend. In terms of welcoming guests definitely a role model
Actually these were not slums..it was railway lands..since its spare land..people used to throw thrash that's why u may find thrash outside while traveling in railway..

@@BackpackerBen karachi is the biggest city of Pakistan with over 30 million population ! U can't see the whole Karachi even in a weeks time ! But u can visit few places if your stay is short in Karachi !
I was born in karachi but now living in North America I cannot claim that I have seen every corner of karachi lol its huge and keep expanding every year
Ben, you and these bus toilets aren’t getting on.😂😂😂 I can’t believe you did 20 hours without the toilet!!! Soldier!!! Love the positivity ! Places like this can take it out the toughest ! Saw you on Blackman Da Travellers Vlogs and had to hit you up Showing love from London ❤ and the Pakistani community
Looks like a smooth trip--all's well that ends well. Such random stops occur a lot on our American trains, believe me. Freight trains trump passenger trains. Money talks. Nice deal with the chicken to tide you over. Thanks again, Ben, and best regards, Paul
When you are all by yourself in an unknown country You're gonna run into stuff you don't like mate Hope you enjoyed your trip here It's not easy for a western guy to do that in a "third world" country
I always keep passport, cash and cards in a flat money pouch under my trousers, and a few hundred dollars sewn into my bag. I'd never leave them in a bag - just too easy to nick, forget, be slashed etc. And would always use a thin steel loop and padlock for bigger bags, to stop enterprising thieves from walking off with the bag when I'm fast asleep or need to go to the bog, and especially where there's a constant stream of food sellers, chai wallahs etc coming and going.
Dear we don't have slums in pak. They are concrete houses but u may say dirty as no one bothers to clean it up and these people got business here, no debts and also alot of savings. Some of the gypsies stay around like in UK. Our means are less and facilities are not there for all of us but almost negligible homeless people and no one sleep hungry. Thanks for your visit as it will portray a nice image we are lacking.
11:31 I woudnt do that.. leaving train that is. Hyderabad is merely 5 min stop ... having a cup of tea takes longer than that, U might not know.. but trains have a Kitchen parlor too, and u can sip ur tea while sitting and chatting with other travelers , and in case that u dont want to leave ur cabin .... u can order it in ur cabin
7:20 The guy was telling you not to leave the room and to have atleast 1 person in the room because someone might steal something. He was warning you and you were like 'ThAt WaS wEiRd"
I see chocolates are popular in Pakistan. Your fellow traveler was generous beyond belief. You may say the slums of Pakistan are bad if you visit Nigeria, you will see worse. It's all relative. MaDonalds looks bland compared to typical Pakistani fare. I would opt for the native cuisine anytime.
Personally I avoid Pakistani trains.... Because railway tracks aren't good in Pakistan. They can't sustain a high speed train normally they say a train can travel at 180KM/h but that isn't possible max they can achieve is 100-110Km/h as tracks are really messed up. So it's not just speed I won't recommend a train journey at all to any foreigner who's planing for Pakistan. Choose PIA or other options. And Ben we gonna miss you always brother. You've got a pretty big place in our hearts and may God bless you. Best wishes for you mate😊
Man who was talking to you when you were alone was saying that don't leave your room alone at least one passenger needs to stay in the room because different kind of people are there so need be careful about your luggage
You should definitely visit white palace in swat, makli necropolis in thatta Sindh, neelum and arang kel in azad kashmir, kalash valley in kpk. These are a must visit places. I personally have visited all of them and they are really breath-taking. Also, you can find aloootttt of scenic beauty of mountains, valleys and lakes, as well as ancient forts and buildings in kpk. I have travelled almost half of pakistan so trust me, it will be worth it. Loads of love from 🇵🇰❤️ Edit: My profile pic is of kumrat valley in kpk. It's also dazzling. But make sure to check the weather forecast before leaving bcz there is no proper road, infact you travel through unpaved path between the forest (another great experience) so the snow could be a problem🙂
Hope you make some videos of London and your home. You need to rest up, and eat some healthy meals, get some good nourishment. At times your face looks drawn and you are too thin. Have a safe trip!
So if you get an AC sleeper ticket it's 20% you get to travel with the toilet inside the room and you have 2 and 4 person compartment at max so next time you travel try AC sleeper
i think train wasn't a good choice. i saw so many travelers traveling via Bus, the buses are very clean, seats are very comfortable, they stop at nice places so you can have a nice good meal.
find me on instagram guys 😎 and to see more content - instagram.com/backpacker.ben/
The first kid was talking about David Beckham the soccer player
the people on this train were so friendly to me!!! yet again amazing hospitality here in Pakistan 😅
Bro. People seem amazing to guests! ❤️
Brother it's good and they are friendly, they speak little hindi also haha. And
Is it hospitality they rob all your cash you say it hospitality
