Rawalpindi, Pakistan ➖ One of my favourite things to do when going to a new country is visiting a local market and buying some much-needed items! So, I decided to make a trip over to Rawalpindi where one of the biggest markets is located, known as Raja Bazar. We went on a buying spree and met some incredibly friendly local Pakistani's.

I don't know why, but I love when he said "Assalamu'alaikum" and "insyaAllah". It is like full of tolerance in his heart.
❤️❤️
@@LukeDamant asslamulakium come to Bawalpur
@@LukeDamant come to Bawalpur here international rally started in "Cholistan desert".
Like you guys say hello we muslims say Assalamualaikum in islam
Tolerance? Wow Wow.. you say it like it's a hard disgusting think to say..
Luke spent 5 mins trying to find out where the samosas were made, only to be told "the kitchen". Idk why but it fully cracked me up 😂😂😂😂😂
Same 🤣🤣
The kitchen 😂😂😂
🤦♂️ facepalm moment 😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw his pakistani and indian food series both…but despite of being an indian i found pakistani people more kind and generous towards you… thats actually so good to see♥️♥️
Pakistani people have a relaxed energy
pakistan is islam
I am a kurd of Iraq and I actually lived in Sadiqabad Rawalpindi from 1990-2000 before moving to USA! I came across your video and brought me lots of memories! I used to walk those Bazars (Raja bazar, haji chok, fasil masjid, shaker peryan ect,)as a teenager! woww sad and emotional right now!
53:05 this sun glass boy gave Luke discount all the way despite some displeasure from the shop owner, just to make Luke happy..he looked so happy after that..GOD bless the boy..love from Karachi
Yeah, the shop owner didn't want to settle for less than 2K I guess. He was even refusing to give him the box for it.
Shop owner wanted 2500 , his reaction when the guy said 1500 was priceless loool
It must be hard to be honest. I understand them, I cannot bargain like that cuz it just makes me feel bad 😕...my face cringes everytime they give him a discount and he asks for more.
@@ChelitoAlonzo Well tbh most shops like this ask quite high initial price. Because they know customers are gonna bargain so they start with a high margin. Keep in mind even after selling the glasses for 1500 which they asked 2500 for initially, surely they still made some profit. And from what I've seen, Luke only bargains in shops that are like in good establishments, so assuming they are doing quite well for themselves. He generally pays extra to most street vendors and seemingly poor sellers.
@@ChelitoAlonzo
No bro..Luke is probably right in doing bargaining to show the viewers what price they can expected..we love him..he is a nice hearted guy..
WOW LUKE DAMANT IN PAKISTAN RIGHT AFTER I LEFT..... I DIID NOT EXPECT THIS, I WAS SHOCKED
Dude you must be here with him and say salam alaikum yaar
Come again we will miss you
You are a great person world nomac👍👍👍

Those were good dudes. They lost their biryani but got luke a shirt for 400.
😂😂 an iconic moment from the first series! What a funny time
Mum if you watching this video I am sorry 😂😂😂😂😂
wo 2 bhai super thay 😂
@@LukeDamant Hello Luke. I live here. Please let me know if you want to explore Rawalpindi.
As an American I had a friend from Pakistan in middle school and when we used to hang, his parents and family were the most friendly and welcoming people, but the media always makes it seem that it’s dangerous and people are rude there. After watching all these videos of luke traveling there it’s definitely on my bucket list now to go!
Osm
the rude people are in our country, they're called karen's
@geranienbaum online is not real life.
Why did you hang his parents and family tho?
@@dopestic6919 thanks for the correction lol
A student paying for Luke Damant - You'd never find anywhere else in the world!!! We respect our guests! Love you kido, you are the future of Pakistan bro!!
Bilkul sehi kaha ap ne
How many places have you been?
There are all kind of people around the world.
So true 👍
Respect Right there

Thanks 😊
Pakistanis are very affable and hospitable. I hope to be able to visit Pakistan one day. Much love from Morocco.🇵🇰❤️🇲🇦
I don't like those foreigner vlogers who travel to diff conuntries and behave disrespectfully towards locals but i really like how respectfully u interact with locals in every place. All the best Luke.. you are a good man.👍
I have already seen your Pakistan series 1.0 and now this ongoing Pakistan series 2.0. Its really enchanting to hear you say "Aapka naam kya hain?", "Assalamoalaikum", "Inshallah", "Shukriya" and a lot other words in Urdu. I'm sure at the end of this episode you're gonna be a pro at conversing with the locals :)
same 😍
can you translate them for me to learn them ,
@@DEVINdevdev in sha Allah "if Allah/God wills", shukriya "Thanks", Assalamoalaikum "peace be upon you", aap ka naam kya hai? "what is your name"
insha'Allah spelling
I really want to go to Pakistan. I love the people there, but sadly due to our nation conflict i cant go. Yeah you guessed it right i am from India
❤️❤️🌹🌹🇵🇰🇵🇰
🥰
🥺🥺
Welcome anytime
I want to go to India too. There is so much of our history there.
Ppl (other shopkeepers) at samosa shop repeatedly asking to give chutney to Luke.
That's Pakistani hospitality.
Luv frm hindustan
22:33 when Im watching my crush secretly I thought I dont appear... hahahah defo same
I absolutely love how people of Pakistan are so friendly towards foreigners. Literally everyone is more than willing to help. This is incredible and totally heartwarming. You guys are true Pakistanis ❤️
Love from your Indian brother 🥰
Cheers bro! 👍
@@humanminus84 cheers bruv 👍🏽
Love from Pakistan bro
@@manam113 thanks bro 🥰
In India there’s always scammers try to con do foreigners. Exposed by many youtubers
No one:
Literally No One:
Le Luke: saying people are very friendly here about a 1000 time
🤣🤣🤣
hahaha it's true
@@LukeDamant Oh Thanks so much bro for reply! Btw its a joke im big fan of yours from Karachi😍❤ its good to see you again in Pakistan!
Your comment doesn't make sense because literally every vlogger has said that the people of Pakistan are very friendly.
@@MuhammadAli-jd2ut bro its a joke...obviously im pakistani and i know that too
I always find it hilarious how the locals are always so captivated by everything you do bro! Even from eating a samosa they all crowd around just to chat and watch. I honestly never thought I would say this but you have made me want to visit Pakistan. Always assumed it was a horrible place with horrible people but after watching your videos it’s opened my eyes to this beautiful country. So much kind people just happy to see a foreigner in their country, so much smiles and even better so much yummy food!
I thought Pakistan &India is same culture,after watch this video I realised Pakistan more clean than India, love the culture
A Pakistani Canadian now wants to fly back immediately to catch up with all those foods and markets :)
Go now and no regrets! 😁
I grew up around these streets of Rawalpindi before moving abroad 30 years ago. It's great to see Luke using Urdu words along with magic words, Assalamu Alaikum, insha'Allah, Alhamdolillah. You are guaranteed a friendly response anywhere in Muslim world.
im American but have an apartment in pindi, i an going back to wonderful Pakistan in October
Did I hear you say "Pakistan is in the bag" ? 😂 I love your videos, Luke! It's really good to see you chatting with locals and exploring. Hope you'll visit the Philippines as well soon! ❤️🇵🇭
he said pakistan zindabad which means long live pakistan
People in Pakistan are so friendly! I never even considered Pakistan as somewhere to visit, but after watching Pakistan 2.0 It's on my list!
Majority of the locals in Pakistan 🇵🇰 are so kind that even a stranger paid for the juice 🥤.
Luke is kind too and hence I’m a subscriber 😀
Hope I can visit ✈️ Pakistan 🇵🇰 one day
Yeah come we welcome you to our country when we see someone from another we feel happy we want to show that we are not bad we good people we want to show media come to Pakistan whenever you want 🥰👍
You are most welcome 🥰
Thank u So much
It's a very common occurrence here. Hospitality is on a whole other level!
@@LukeDamant Thx :> good to hear that :)
When dale Philip tells people he is from Scotland the reply is always "oh ok". When you say Australia the reply is always "oh wow nice" 😂😂
Because Pakistani people knows Australia because his Cricket team but Scotland cricket team and his players not famous in Pakistan.......
And in 2022 Australian cricket team comes Pakistan
My English is very weak 😊😂😍
@@salmannawaz7862 atleast you tried to explain 👏
MashaAllah, these young brothers speak English, and some even recognized you from TH-cam.
Alhamdulillah, I really enjoyed this video, I haven’t been to Pakistan yet. InshaAllah this year. (My husband is from Karachi, we’re married 25 years now). It is really nice to see a Rawalpindi market. I’d LOVE to retire in Pakistan and just enjoy living in a Muslim country, (I’m a Canadian convert for 28 yrs now).
Dude, you have to learn about Islam, Allah blessed you, bringing you there. Don’t miss out on the best part of the blessing.
We respect our guests, and feel proud in serving them, you have nice heart, full of love, we love you , and the way you say "slama lakum" and off course the "tuk tuk", we love you luke, you are really nice person, pakistan is best place in the world, full of living people. Thank You Luke
Pakistani people are very kind hearted. Lots of respects
Stephanie from London
Well come to pakistan
Luke, alway bring a new content to the Fans especially show the Pakistan 🇵🇰 People are very friendly. Love from Cambodia 🇰🇭🥰
Sending love to Cambodia 🇰🇭💕🇵🇰❤️
Thank u bro
Thanks for kind words, come visit us
pashto translation1 (between shades salers): when the good lokking person gave you the best price of 500, which is actually a really good price, the other didn’t like as you can see his expressions. the man asked you for packing, the otger saler was like “genius, you’re giving him packing with this little price”. The kind guy was like “no problem. He’s our guest “. I appreciate the hospitality of pashtun and pakistanis
I'm from India. And I wish I could explore Pakistani markets, just like you! 55.41 mins worth it!
You are a great traveller, love the way you make friends with locals, visit Bangladesh someday 🇧🇩🇧🇩! Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I’m planning to visit soon 🙏
@@LukeDamant eagerly waiting for your Bangladesh journey, you may visit Puran Dhaka, Cox's bazaar sea beach, Sajek, Saint martin island, this are one of the most visited tourist destination! Enjoy your travelling! ❤️
@@LukeDamant
Austrailian cricket team is coming to pakistan in march.
Stay in pakistan till then we want to see you in stadium❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
Austrailian guy with pakistani T-shirt and Aussie flag.
@@LukeDamant if you visit Bangladesh please do come to Chittagong, can't wait to meet you❤️
25:11 These are the dried figs(Anjeer in Urdu). It is widely grown throughout the world, both for its fruit and as an ornamental plant.
When ever you say " Assalamualaikum" ,
" kese Hain" . It brings smile on my face.
When he said 'inshaAllah' ❤ 4:01
Haven't been to Pindi in over 20 years, although we were in Islamabad in 2019 just didn't get a chance to go. Thank you for sharing the streets and refreshing my memories. Good to have you back in Pakistan looking forward to your Muree vlog 🇬🇧🇵🇰
It's a super interesting place. Totally different to Islamabad areas, but the people are just as kind!
Islamabad and Karachi are cosmoploitain cities. Islamabad is the west of Pakistan, very clean, diverse and modern. I always remember Pindi being so busy and cramped with so much culture.
Ube Muree q bhj rha he bhai? Zaleel log hain waha k
@Pure Stan woh uss k plan hai meh ne nahi mention kiya woh kaha aur kaha nahi jai. Uss neh hud vlog meh bola k Muree ja raha hai.
Muree is stunning!
Love this video from Spain 🇪🇸, wish one day I will visit Pakistan!! Such a wonderful people!! ❤️
Superb place! I hope you get to visit soon 🙏
Love U bro🇵🇰❤🇪🇸
@@khizerhayatarain3970 🇪🇸❤️🇵🇰 too
You're welcome
@@faysalakhan very kind of you
42:00 that’s the black salt also called “kala namak” that makes the drink smell funky. Makes it “farty” as well BTW. Because black salt does alleviate intestinal gas.
7:49
Just Nornal Days in our City Country Pakistan
Not So Excitment For The Fight Luke,
LOL
Hospitality and friendliness of Pakistani people is so awesome, even shopkeepers won’t mind if Luke step into their sections…🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are not more friendly then any other country I promise you and ofc they want him there for money
The samosa kid, "yes yes" was from kashmir, a place called kotli, east of paksiatan on border with India.
Lovely mountains, and can get hot during summer due to geo location.
You did your research 🧐
East of Pakistan 🤦
It's in the north bro
Luke you're like the sweetest saying AsalamoAlikum and InshaAllah to everyone and saying nice things to strangers and that obsession with cheese paratha
Love when Luke just pulls up behind the counter of the shops 😂😂
When you are in Pakistan it feels like you are home after being to every country peace shows in your face
Luke the funky taste in the sugar cane juice is from the black salt that he put in after he asked you. It's supposed to be good for digestion or something.
The sunglasses guy actually gave you the glasses at a loss, the original guy was telling the younger one the same :)
Yeah I agree
It's always fun going to different countries with you Luke!!!! You're so friendly to the locals and always have such good vibes!! I always can't stop watching your videos when I start and I watch them until the end! Lol by the way the glasses are awsome!!!!
7:09 They are actually happy to be on Camera.
25:18That's dried Fig.
26:00 Caps are pretty common and are available in different shops.
Omgg Luke! This is sooo excitingggggg! I’m from India but living in Canada, these markets literally reminded me of my home country...loved it!
Glad you enjoyed :)
The only thing that's different between the two countries is politics, everything else is same. I hope and pray love can overcome all the dirty politics someday that has divided us for no reason :(
We are so much similar, prayers and blessings
@@fahadzaidi1068 not just politics but in general people of Pakistan and friendly and helpful. In india they will charge you double the money, forget about free food or anything.
@@mrxyz590 ayy bro, don't spread hatred in this channel...
I looove these kinds of shops... i remember when growing up in Saudi Arabia, my parents would bring us to old Batha where a lot of Pakistanis and Indians would sell clothes and shoes in cheap prices and we would wear them to school. Pakistan is an interesting place. Been there when i was 5 would love to visit someday.
You are a really humble person and I appreciate all that you stand for and what you do. Great video!
You have finally learned the art of discount while shopping in Pakistan 👍🏽 Thank you for coming we hope ur stay is pleasant, safe travels 🙏🏻
I m from India and I watched Pakistan 1.0 and now going on Pakistan 2.0 and 1.0 was owsm and 2.0 is going on owsm
Love from India🥰❣️
🇵🇰❤🇮🇳
The thing you saw on the cart at 25:10, is dried fig (fig is called injeer in Urdu), on average is like Rs. 2,000 per kg, pretty common in Pakistan.
Yeah I saw it a lot in this market! cheers for letting me know :)
Dried fruits are cheaper in Peshawar & dried figs are around PKR 1500 there.
Very friendly people of Pakistan thanks for showing the common Pakistani people there life style And it's great to see how the people being so courteous and nice 👍👍👍
Always lovely to see the kindness in Pakistan 🙂
Samosa is of different types😋
Potato Samosa
Chicken Samosa
Beef samosa
Chinese Samosa
Eat samosa with (sauce) Chatni enchnce its taste
Pakistan peoples are so welcoming ❤️🇵🇰❤️🇸🇪
Yes, we are kind hearted and friendly 😇.
You make really cool videos Luke. Makes me wanna visit Pakistan one day. Love that you try to portray the everyday life of mass people. Please do come to Bangladesh 🇧🇩 someday. Lots of love 💗
Luke is so cute guy.... I love his way of greeting n searching for Cheese Paratha always😍, So kind so honest .. Keep rocking and being a Pakistani i appreciate your efforts, You move in market n making friends everywhere! God Bless you dear... Always welcome to Pakistan🥰, PAKISTAN ZINDABAD🇵🇰
Great video! We were just in northern Pakistan in October 2021 and was awesome!
Sugar cane is where the sugar in your coffee or tea comes from.
The funky smell is most likely due to the kala nimak (black salt) which contains sulfides.
Very good for indigestion, but too much can be dangerous, so consume lightly
Everytime I watch your vlogs I have to order a cheese paratha 😂 Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤
🙌🙌😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Are you a Pakistani in South Africa or a South African?
@@MuhammadAli-jd2ut South african Indian
@@naseerahganie Oh, okay.
Don't worry I will bring 1 for u in Durban 😂😂
here to Indonesia here are many beautiful places and Indonesian people are very friendly broo 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Feeling so excited and glad to see an Australian guy visiting Pakistan. I watched your many videos in just 2 days. Luke, you are really very innocent and lovely guy . LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Your videos are great. Thank u for promoting our beautiful country and its culture. Welcome to PAKISTAN
Thanks for watching 🙏
Luke you smashed it with this one. Bringing back memories when we use to visit this Market many years ago. If you ever want to do a village Vlog then my Hometown is 30mins driver from Rawalpindi. Chase Your Dreams. Regards Manchester Lad. UK
Those things on strings that you see alot are traditionally sun dried figs. One of the delicacies enjoyed in winters.
Sugar cane juice is yellow. It's greener, when taza podina(fresh mint) is added to it. Sometimes people like adding black salt and a squeeze of lemon in it too.
The one thing I noticed when ladies came luke move his camera and give them respect.. luke love you brother
Great hospitality and sooo kind people. JUST LOVE IT❤🤩🇵🇰🤩
Nice market hunt Luke those streets are ultra busy take care.
The locals seem very friendly always makes your day when people respond to you.
Stay safe and well.

Hi Luke. Thanks for uploading this vid. A lively atmosphere at the market hunt.
It's lovely to see how people react. I enjoyed it very much!!
Take care. Stay safe. Love from The Netherlands
Thanks for watching! ☺️
It is nice , raw/original , pure, fantastic, vlog and waiting for more. Those street and markets made me remember my hometown. It's been 2 years since I visited. You should also visit some other places in rawalpindi, such as Sadder Market Rawalpindi, Ayub national park, joyland. Love and Thanks from UAE
I'm glad I could show you around :)
Hello
I really like your journey stories.
You are the best as always.
I hope the best for you.
Good luck young man.
Keep going
👌👍🏻🙏
You are doing great job! Keep up the good work. Heart warming!
It’s so nice to see those streets and market again .
Love your energy bro .
Hey mate , hope you doing well,
This is BILAL from Sydney, difference between us I’m Pakistani and I make vlogs in Australia and u Australian make vlogs in Pakistan,
Well I really appreciate you exploring my beloved country and showing a beautiful positive side ,
I don’t have words to say you thank you 😊,
Love from Sydney ❤️❤️🇵🇰🇳🇿

Your bike ride actually made me remember "we don't even have a licence bro" hahaha...that was very funny............
9:50 seconds, Choohay ki dawae hai lal baig ki dawae hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 Luke he's selling Tablet's for Killing Rat and cockroach 😀😀
Wow, an hour long video! Excellent 😁 Just to point out, the funky taste in the sugarcane juice is coming from the black salt. The sugarcane juice by itself is delicious, but its common for the locals to add black salt to sweet drinks as it has many health benefits such as to aid digestion and ease heartburn. Black salt has a sulphur taste to it.
Wow, black salt. I never knew he added it and that it was so common here
@@LukeDamant loving your videos like keep it up bro and another thing when the guy at the sugarcane stop said right hand what he meant was that you should drink with your right hand as it is the cleaner and purer hand
Yes Notification for Luke & Mac and harry all uploaded at the same time yayyyyyyy thanks luke greetings from ireland 🇮🇪☘️❤️
its nice to see pakistan ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love frm india🇮🇳
love you sardar g
@@TV5V not every other indian guy with a singh surname is sardar.
Aw its so cool you bumped into local viewers of the channel ❤ i really wanna travel like this
Long vlog loved it and anyone hear the others tell the samosa guy not to charge him 👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 need more off this keep the great content coming watching from 🏴
Yeah 😅 samosa guy was confused and nervous so other guy told him not to charge caz he's guest ❤️
25:14 - those are dried figs, popular during the winter.
As for the reason why your sugar cane juice tasted funky was coz of the "Black Salt" he added, next time you can ask them to not add the salt, it'll taste just as normal.
Luke : people are quite friendly here
The people in shop: start fighting
22:53 the random guy that just pops up watching him eat 🤣😆😂
Awesome Luke! Love these market hunts..never know what you may come across. Cheers brother
very hospitable country Pakistan .Loved this V log from the eyes of an Australian tourist who sounds too kind hearted not like agressive Australian cricketers.
43:29 It tasted funky bcuz he added black sea salt in there. And that's what you seen at the bottom of the cup. Welcome back to Pakistan, love your videos my dude. Stay safe
My favorite video in the series, so nice! ❤😮
Makes me wanna buy a Pakistan Cricket T-Shirt!!!!
I'll send one to you 😄 Where are you from?
You look like from Brazil. Purtugese? Well, surprised to hear that, you want cricket T-shirt, because this game is not famous in South America and middle Europe

Luke saying bhai to everyone is really cute.
Btw I’m sindhi and I really love when you wear a sindhi hat! Enjoy ☺️ ❤️
19:50 the man standing behind him is having flashbacks 😹
The "funky" taste in sugarcane juice is that of the "kala namak" black salt - its a bit of an acquired taste for the western palate - gives sulphur aftertaste. Try sugarcane juice without the salt next time, you will find it more like the one you had in Iraq.
