After visiting 191 countries over the last 9 years, I can confidently say that AFGHANISTAN is the cheapest of them all! I have spent 3 weeks traveling around this beautiful Central Asian nation, and while there are so many things to admire about its culture and history -- the affordable prices make it THAT much more enjoyable.
In this video, I take you around the Western city called Herat (with my buddy Thomas from @YesTheory to purchase several random items so you guys can see how cheap it is!
In case you're wondering, the next cheapest countries (in my opinion) are Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, and Iran -- what do you think are the cheapest countries? Comment below!

afganistan minimum wage : 64.56$

Agree
But how much is the ps4 is there in afghanistan currency?
@@aishamuzzamil3770 lol I want one
I am very much concerned about Noor's safety. Afghan has turned into chaos again.
These prices are cheap for a Westerner but probably not so for the average Afghan, and things are about to get worse.
Totally agree. The experience that Drew brought us was just average guys enjoying each other’s company. Now that things have changed, Noor is definitely in danger and possibly the other guys. Keep Afghanistan in your thoughts, their country is going to change very quickly and not for the good.
He didn’t go to Kabul so it was basically nothing
@Chickenhead lol
Yea
what i most like about this channel from other travel channels is that drew literally just goes with the flow and the universe just sends him towards good people. his friend was so nervous thou lol
“We can’t speak to each other but it doesn’t matter cause we’re bros “ lol I love that, one love brother !
Does the drink make you high?
Yes very nice feeling
@@OHOE1 yes yes
@@OHOE1 --😂🤣😂👍
I’ve had this same experience in Canada while getting drunk with my Persian friend and some of his Persian friends… it’s real. It is amazing. All of that language barrier dissolves and you just begin to understand one another.
It was surprising and funny to see Noor pull out that hash from his pocket.
Good job on getting a heart from drew
Noor lowkey a stoner. Damn what a guy
stoners are always cool
Very true, but hash is very normal in Afghanistan, alot of people smoke it
This happens a lot in the netherlands too
Love for afghan brothers from bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️🇦🇫 In sha Allah , I'll go there one-day

Me too
It's never too late. You'll see all of them, Insha Allah.
innit same im an afghan and i have only seen kabul
u think so but no one even touch u
@Anonymous people are people bub. Walk around with flashy things then yea you could get killed for stuff almost anywhere. There’s places in United States that’s scary to drive through.
I like how Drew's math is off and the other guy has to correct him every time.
Well he is a non Asian
So much for that degree at Wisconsin-Madison
Well ...he’s American so that’s not surprising
@Raghu Singh aloo my fa-lend, al arle you doo-ing light nuu. [ Indian accent for "hello my friend, how are you doing right now"] I can imitate it much better verbally.
@Raghu Singh what, you going to cry
I like how drew literally always avoid the conflict 🇦🇫
Beautiful people, inshallah Afghanistan will see peace one day
I’m an Afghan from New York and this makes me so damn happy to see you and Thomas in Afghanistan.Looking forward to see more videos of you and yes theory in the future.hopefully one day I get the chance to bring you guys to my country and show u guys around.Just the way both of u guys showcased my country was so amazing.

"Cheapest" is really about comparing it to the standard of living where you come from. When you're from wealthy country, there are many places out there where you can afford most things.
This guy’s whole thing is that he’s been to every country on earth
i think his standards are REALLY HIGH since he went to almost every country on earth (except for 3 rn)
Bro just shut up its not your vlog
You sound butthurt
You are stating the obvious. When you are from poor countries, there are many places where you can't afford things, but you could probably still afford many things in Afghanistan since it's one of the cheapest countries (if not the cheapest).
What drew feel: wow so cheap!
What Noor feel: dude..it's expensive D:

Because your actions devalued their currency and forced them to extreme poverty. Then you go there get greeted still because they have no idea what you did to them and you enjoy your relative " richness of dollar" but moral poverty overall

Thomas is so scared , thumbs up to drew for being brave, and that guide noor is so generous to take you evrywhere 👍

This trip seemed to be the most fun I have watched so far because you guys seemed relaxed and having fun.
It’s like I’ve seen the world through your videos. This one particularly being one of my favourites. Thanks for doing a commendable job and making my lockdown time in this pandemic a bit interesting.
Drew has magical communication skills. Maybe it's his warm heart.
“Just chilling man “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like how Noor says "Just Chillin Man just Chillin" 🤣

Amazing! Thanks for this online short holiday to Afghanistan!
Thanks Drew for all your videos, everytime I wanted to feel good, I simply watch your vids. Best decision ever👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I agree with you bro.
They didn't bomb, the fucking politicians and rich business men's bomb because of their advantage
@Leone I specifically told Tomas and drew didn't bomb it is the cheap politicians and business mens who bomb there
@Leone where r u from
lol nice
Thanks Drew for producing content about and with people that you should kind respect for ...I wish you much continued success 😌

Afghan properties: $7

Yeah, but then it gets bombed by your highschool dropout cousin the next day.
@sofia mirani The USA is quite dangerous. I would never want to live there. Yes, we have to be careful anywhere. However, don't you think Afghanistan is pretty dangerous compared to many other countries?
@@alukuhito u have never been to Afghanistan So plz Dont predict what will u see go and see it ur self yes i agree Afghanistan is not safe but u know there is only 0.000005% chance if u see a bomb blast with ur own eyes. Something else i have in mind to tell u every 1 dies so enjoy ur life untill ur last breath.Or be afraid of every moment u live.
It's not 7 dollars bro everything is not that cheap

No one in Afghanistan, absolutely no one. . .

80 cents for a beard trim?! Here in Norway a haircut costs like $50
If it was that expensive I would rather cut my own hair.
But in rural India a hair cut cost 0.55 even cheper than Afghanistan 😂😂
you get what you pay for.
Bro $50!!!!??!! What do they even do to hair?
In the philippines itll cost like $0.50
