Welcome to Pakistan, for the next two days we were exploring this beautiful city of Lahore
known for its incredible culture and history we have a chance to spend a day
walking with a guide showing us the beauty of this wonderful city.
Now this morning we walked through the Lahore Fort and the mosque,
however we weren't allowed to use our microphone for some unknown reason,
so please excuse all the wind noise until we leave the mosque.
Good morning guys from Lahore, Pakistan and today is our first day here in the city.
We're exploring it, hope you guys like my traditional outfit, I actually bought this thing in Karachi.
So I've been waiting a long time here to wear it and today we have just spent the morning
exploring the walled city with our guide, he is right back here. we've now arrived at the mosque
which is probably the most famous and iconic area here in Lahore.
So just alone and the interior part can fit 40.000 people to pray in this one area behind me,
the outside part which you just saw can fit another sixty thousand.
So in total over a hundred thousand people can be praying this one mosque
and you can even see the beautiful designs on top. It's still there, wow!
Now as beautiful as this place is the only downside has been
it's really really hard to document this area.
The security they actually were very hesitant about letting us in with a DSLR,
I'm not sure why that is, if it's recently. because I've seen other people actually vlog here before
and yeah we were kind of lucky because we have a guide with us
and they had to call some people up to let us in with our DSLR
otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get in with our big camera like..
it seems like they're only allowing people in with just regular phones, unfortunately.
So not sure why that is as of recently but yeah.
Look how far back it goes, wow! This is such a beautiful view look at this!
Honestly the beautiful designs here and the architecture is probably some of the most beautiful
that I have ever witnessed it's just.. mind-blowing.
but I will say this, good luck with getting into this mosque with a vlog camera if you have a mic on it..
it's better take it off because they won't let you in with it but I think I know the reason why..
that is because there's a lot of locals inside with cameras that are trying to make some money
by taking photos of locals and tourists coming in there so I kinda see the reason for that.
Outside of the mosque here you also have all of these vendors here
that is selling different snacks, drinks, water and there's even a falcon, wow!
I hope you guys like my new addition to my head,
you have to wear this when we're entering this specific area this is a Sikh Temple.
So it's a very holy area.. in fact when we entered here,
they were also really hesitant about letting us film here, somehow we got permission.
I have no idea how, but the architecture here is absolutely beautiful, the design of it..
I mean the sheer amount of detail that they are putting into these temples here is incredible
and mosques of course but this one specifically is right next to the Lahore mosque,
just a short walk away it's white and yellow. you can actually see it from the distance
when you're at the Lahore mosque.
We're about to go upstairs to the temple, let's take you guys inside!
So we just went up to the temple here, oh my God, it is stunning inside!
They are currently remodeling, repainting and redoing the marble
the whole interior is made of marble.. if you've never been to a Sikh Temple, you must.
Welcome guys to the Anarkali Bazaar! This is one of the most famous bazaars here in Lahore.
There's a lot of really beautifully designed traditional outfits like the one I'm wearing.
This place seems so endless..
there's motorbikes just driving by you so quickly giving us feelings of Karachi all over again.
Let me show you guys one thing I love about these traditional outfits..
i'm putting my plums in here, i have pockets!
We're gonna try Nihari House this place is really famous.
So beautiful and it smells really good!
So that right there what he was selling was for around 50 rupees
and it is very custom or tradition here to use that or to give that to somebody as a welcome gift.
So, welcome Kintania to Pakistan and it smells really good, it's fresh rose petals..
it's really beautiful but our food has just arrived so let's go ahead and dig in, try it
and show you what we're eating.
-You have to take it and sprinkle it
-If you squeeze lemon on it then you have to mix it and then dip it and eat it.
This is such a unique dish to have as we're right on the streets with the motorbikes riding by
and honking their horns.
but it looks like they've got beef.. beef inside with a little bit of oil, some spices inside, ginger
we put some lemon and chilies as well and you take the bread
and you dip it inside and it looks delicious let me try it.
So oily!
It's got a very meaty flavor got a lot of oils and spices inside,
so it's already making my mouth a little bit hot actually to be honest.
and we've now got a Pakistani drink that has just come out, it's called Lassi.
Basically like yogurt and milk, I'll show you what it looks like..
Wow!
I could literally chug this, it's got like sugar in it, yogurt, milk mixed together..
almost like a smoothie that is so delicious!
This is good! This is not that sour but not that sweet either.
I think it's like perfect combination between the milk, sugar, and yogurt.
There's a lot of oil in that, I don't know if it's the healthiest things
but it's definitely one of the tastiest
So as you guys can see it's a few hours later, it's gotten a lot darker
now we've arrived at the street food.. street food literally it's called a street food
right outside of the Lahore mosque, where we were just here this morning
and this is an area full of food, entertainment, lots of stuff for you to do here.
So we've arrived at Haveli Restaurant so this is in the food street area if you've ever come here
and it has got probably one of the best views here in the Lahore, check this out
I'll give you guys an idea of what the prices are, just looking from the menu itself everything is roughly
priced about 700 to 1000 PKR, that's for drinks everything is roughly about 100 PKR,
So really affordable here even though it looks very fine dining here
compared to every other restaurant we've seen here in Lahore.
So our food has come out, I believe I got lamb chops, I'm gonna taste them to find out
and Kintania has gotten a mushroom steak.
K: It's actually good! A: It's really good, it's really seasoned.
If you're not good with spiciness, I think that's something you might have to consider in Pakistan,
if you're coming here you need to start getting accustomed to spiciness.
All right guys and that concludes our dinner and our night here in Lahore,
especially on first night.. so we got a few more videos coming to you guys next.

This is actually a really cool street if you want to come here it's a little bit touristy
everybody speaks English here.
There's even a nice park right across the street trom all the food streets.
So definitely would recommend at least come and try it.
A: look at that car seat! K: what is that?
A: lt's lamp shades I think he's selling lamp shades
K: no i think, they just moved things from the old house and they just stuck there.
