Good evening, guys from another video here in Kurdistan, specifically actually
back in Erbil. So, after a nice weekend, a nice resort weekend the last couple days,
we are going to do a little bit of exploring here before we head on to the
next- the next location. So, probably two full days in Erbil maybe we'll be
able to show you guys some more of downtown as well as who knows we'll see
what we get into in the next two days. But I’m here with my man driver, taxi
driver and we got Luke back here. What's up guys? We’re back. We're back, we're back.
So, we're gonna head downtown, we're- we're staying in an area that's probably like
five minutes from the airport. I wanted something convenient, a little bit nicer
maybe, show you the hotel towards the end of the night. And now, we're yeah- we're
about 15 minutes away, and so we'll see when we get there.
And we have made it down to the market about 6k for a 15-minute cab ride, so
probably normally it's about 3000 but the guy was nice he's like you pay
however much you want. So you know, nice guy started a good conversation in
decent English. So, we have made it down to the market here, the grand bazaar, if
you guys saw at the beginning of the series, we did a short walk through here
but only briefly to get some food. So now, Luke and I are gonna be heading
through here, and seeing what we get ourselves into. It's a whole different
experience at night, so I’m excited to see it. Let's go, we got our man perfectly
balancing some churros up top there. That’s pretty impressive. That is. Yeah.
You wanna go? Yeah Give it a try? Yeah, they would fall
within a second. One of these days, we'll try it. Alright, look at all these rings
I think I’m overdue to buy a little bit more jewelry here because I haven't
gotten one from here. Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]. I’m looking for a ring that if I go in
water with it, it doesn't turn my skin green.
I have silver, I have stainless steel which one? Something to match this. What do you
recommend? Like something maybe up here.
Yeah, let's see what you got here. It's A special box, you gotta pop it open. I
need something good here. Oh, is this like the might be a little intense for me there.
Maybe something like this would be good.
Let’s see how that fits. We got something a little bit bigger than this one.
That one shines nicely, Is it almost too sparkly though? How much
for one of these? Is this one going to turn my finger
green when I swim? No, it’s silver.
Because that's the worse when you go off from swimming-
15 thousand. Oh, so it is based off of weight? Based off of weight. What about- Three grams, twelve thousand.
And what about two for one deal? Or discount if I buy two?
Alright, let's help me pick out another one then. What other one would you
recommend maybe one of these. I don’t have the bigger size. Oh, you don't. Alright,
can you show me what options you have that'll be the same size as this?
Versace, oh that's definitely real. Maybe I gotta get the Versace. What do you think bro?
Yeah, authentic. Yeah, let me- let me get one of these.
That’s a good one maybe one day, that'll go with the style. We'll get those weight
and see- see what type of deal you can hook me up with.
Let’s see how that fits. Alright, looks a little different than the usual
but hey if we can get a nice deal out of purchasing two of them then we'll do
it. Yeah, let's see what you got here. This is the first time I’ve ever seen
anything being weighed like- being bought off of weights.
Obviously like gold, and stuff. 21, okay? And then how much for two both of them?
That’s 13 and that's 18 13, 18. Okay so we can- so what's that 30000?
We can deal for 30 000. Alright, alright, we got a deal then. Alright, we
got 30000 for a fresh set of silver rings.
What was the original price, the asking price the original asking price I think
was 20000 for one, and then 18000 for the second, so that's a solid 8000 off.
I’ll take it. Like if I can get a solid bargain on
some new rings the real test though will be when I bring them in the water.
Get them all boxed up in there.
What’s your name? Nice to meet you. Shukran [Thanks] Habibi
We’re just visiting.
That’s exciting stuff.
Shisha like and subscribe for shisha.
Salam Alaikum [Peace be upon you] We just met some nice people and now we're walking through further into the
market. It seems like some parts are more lively right now than others, like the
first half we were in was a bit closed down. Oh yeah, just like here it's like
completely dark down there, and in the first video we were in back in the first
impressions in Erbil, we walked through that whole area, so many people, so lively
but it seems like more on the outskirts right now in the evening is- is what pops
off here. We'll see what else we can find, gotta get a fresh new set of rings that
we'll be wearing.
Good shawarma? Yeah
Bashim [Good] shawarma? Shawarma Bashim
I’m being told. Here's what we got here, some fresh shawarma, we got chicken,
we've got meat- beef, and this is where the magic happens.
I’ll take one- one chicken, one chicken. Zor supas [Thank you so much]
Alright, oh and this is- this is the beginning process. Salam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
Oh yeah, yeah so this is gonna be freshly made right there.
Get your shawarma. Fresh and tasty, you get your shawarma. Ba broin [Let's go]
Oh, this is gonna be good. We are sizzling. We got- we gotta get a little something to make a-- We got a bun?
I need a little bun to toss some into that
Oh yeah, there we go. We're making our own shawarmas here today. Fresh and loaded up.
The only- The best way to make it
Yeah, there we go. put a little tomatoes. Yallah, Yallah. Ba broin [Let's go]. And oh yeah
That's gonna be good. We got this thing fully loaded up.
It’s a pleasure. So, I’ve got a new job here guys, I
thought I was making my own shawarma but I guess it's for someone else. Yeah, we
got I just made one shawarma, and it's delicious.
We've got the kebabs coming out right now. Shukran [Thank you]
Oh my God, bro I can't believe what just happened. Yeah, guys only in Kurdistan,
when you all of a sudden be in front of the shawarma, then all of a sudden you're
making it. And-
and I’m not sure what mine's actually coming I don't know if they thought I
just wanted to make a customer's kebab or what the deal was but I’m gonna
go check in to see if- if I’m actually getting a shawarma here. How's that? It's
gonna be a good chicken one? Yeah Chicken?
Chicken shawarma. [Foreign language] Shukran [Thank you].
Alright, I think maybe he didn't realize I actually wanted a shawarma. So,
now- now I hope we have one in the room. I don't know is this mine? Well that was
that's been there for like five minutes. Oh geez, so mine's here. Alright, well
surprise I guess that looks- that looks so- I found it.
Yeah, yeah. That looks so fake but like be literally- I really had no idea.
It’s literally, it was there before I began my meal. No, no, no, this
thing's fresh off the plate bro. Oh yeah. So we're doing a little bit more of
I guess a burrito. So, we gotta do Yad's recommendation, which is toss a little
bit of this, red stuff on there. Honestly, I don't know which one of those is salt
or sugar so I’m just going to stick with these two for these ingredients. And,
let's go ahead, and give it a solid- Alright, looks like we're getting loaded up.
Shukran [Thanks] Habibi. Zor Supas [Thank you so much]
We’ll get a couple onions in there, toss her up a couple pink.
Oh yeah, that's gonna be good and you know what why not put a little lemon
on there, spice these things up a bit more. Oh yeah, get ready.
Roll her up, use my Chipotle skills from the US, and
here we go.
I’m more of the flavors here. I like it with this bun because it's a
little less heavy than the usual kebab bread that you guys have seen in other
videos. It's a bit lighter and you can- you can taste the flavors a bit more.
Oh, that was a delicious kebab, guys the burrito style.
My backpack on here. How was the shawarma? Good?
This- this was my first customer ever for a shawarma. Yeah, nice to meet you. How
much are they? I don't know, I’m confused.
I paid for everything. Oh you did? Yes, this will be tips for you guys. Thank you.
Zor hosh [Very nice]. Zor supas [Thank you so much].
So, this is what my ring guy needed right
there was a glass of water with the jewelry
inside of it because then it proves what I’m always asking which is- is the
jewelry going to turn blue or green around my finger after I go in the water.
So, we got our friend Walli. Nice to meet you, and what was your name?
Ibrahim, nice to meet you, and your name?
Sharee, nice to meet you. Thank you, thank you. Oh, look who's back.
A shisha a day keeps the doctor away, apparently.
It brings the doctor your way after. Yeah exactly. And what's your name?
Muhammad Burhan ud Din. Oh the man the myth the legend from
Bangladesh. Thank you, God bless you. God bless you.
Very like this Australian people and many, many people Bangladeshi like
this Australia. Because we like cricket. Yeah, yeah. Yeah big cricket players.
Got invited for a quick little shisha hit.
My brother.
That’s one of the great parts guys about here in Kurdistan is people have been
so welcoming, always get invited for tea, great conversations, and it's nice when
we can, you know, actually communicate with people that speak English. So, we got
lucky to meet all those really nice people there. My tongue's pretty burnt
though because I enjoyed some of that tea, and it was burning hot. Let's go ahead,
and explore more of this area. Oh look at this. What is this?
That looks real. There’s no orange tip on it, so you can't
tell it's fake. Look at this one.
Oh, that looks nice, got all sorts of gun options there. There's a lighter, some
pretty cool stuff. Oh, a laser pointer maybe I can find a cat to let it
chase later. Oh yeah, how much for this? 2000. 2000, it's good price. Yeah alright,
I’ll take it, and then later guys we're gonna try and find a cat and then see if
they actually like chase after the laser pointer because usually cats love to
go running after it, see it. Alright, that is 2000.
Zor Hosh-- Zor supas [Thank you so much]
Yeah, right now it is Zor hos [Very nice] too.
Oh, who's pointing the laser? New toy. Did you just buy that?
I bought it because I want to find a cat and see if they chase it.
Oh, look at this ice cream here, that is fresh.
Fresh stuff, oh hello, hello. Choni bashi [How are you?] Good ice cream here?
And what is this one? Is that like birthday cake ice cream?
Cake ice cream. I’ll take one of those
with a scoop of I think chocolate, chocolate's a good one?
It’s similar like chocolate. Chocolate, perfect. Yeah, I’ll take one scoop of this
one, and one scoop of the cake. That looks delicious, so many flavors what is this
blue one? Blueberry. Alright-- So vibrant the
colors. I know that's why I’m like I want to try a little bit of all of them. Like
Play-Doh. Yeah, exactly. Can’t be healthy but-
Yes, please. Oh yeah, we'll do a chocolate and we'll even add in a blueberry scoop
because I want to taste test all of them. That’s gonna be good.
I’m getting my languages confused at this point. Oh, that's gonna be good
maybe- maybe do a scoop of blueberry too please.
Yeah one. One- one small scoop of blueberry. Oh, I guess we're getting two cups.
Well just one scoop, one- one-
Oh yeah, that's gonna be nice perfect. Just like that yeah, yeah.
Alright, let's dig in. How much?
Alright, just a tiny- Good salesman right here
came in to get here one smaller- from United States,
and he's from Australia.
Alright, I only have a 25. Is that okay? Alright.
Wow. We got two of them,
Alright, let's try out this one, put that one right here. We'll start with
a blueberry, give this one a shot this is the- Bro, it looks so blue. Yeah, it looks
really like Play-Doh like Luke was saying.
That’s Zor Hosh [Very nice].
Oh, this is great.
That’s a nice flavor, let's try out here, the chocolate. We'll come back to that blueberry.
Thank you my friend. Thank you my friend, I appreciate it. Great ice cream,
Thank you so much. Alright, chocolate the official bite here.
Oh, that's nice. That's nice, I think the blueberry is the winner for me though
because the blueberry has a much like sweeter taste, and it's very unique. Very
few places I’ve been able to find the blueberry ice cream. Now time to
devour them. Zor supas [Thank you so much].
I just finished the blueberry, I’ll say that one's definitely my favorite, the
blueberries Zor hosh [Very nice].
Yeah, thank you. Got one more to finish here. We got a
little chocolate, a little vanilla left. I’m gonna be full especially after the
shawarma, and now the ice cream. We know how to eat well here in
Kurdistan. Wallah, wallah.
Place is popping at night. Last time we were here, none of these chairs were all
scattered out here. So, it seems like this whole area turns into like a bunch of
restaurants, and very lively and actually tonight is a Thursday night. And so, I
don't know if I’ve mentioned this in other vlogs here in Kurdistan but
basically the weekends from like Thursday night it's like a Friday night.
in the United States and it goes until like Saturday is like a Sunday in the US.
We got something going on, there's a bunch of lights shooting up in the air.
Those must be those little toys, it really is happening down here though.
Like when we came down here during the day down here by the fountain that's
when it's empty but it seems like everyone moves from the- from the
market that we were just inside over to the fountain once it gets pretty late
here. Whoa, they're shooting those things super high in the air.
Oh yeah, I’m looking for a cat to see if they'll chase it. Oh, whose laser is that?
Whoa, it's slippery, bro. Oh my God, I almost just ate--. Oh wow.
Oh it's we're getting rained on here. Oh that is cold coming through here.
You’re gonna you get chilled out a little bit because of the- the water
spraying us. Oh yeah, it's super slippery, so we got to watch the step.
Look at that, and it just pours right in there, and
there we go. That is how we get- oh it's nice and cold too. My tongue's still
burning from the last tea we had. Oh, and Luke's got a tea coming up too.
Alright, let's try it out here. It’s very cold.
Wow, that is a flavor I’ve never had. What
type is that? So we got those fresh teas for 1000 each, which is like 60 cents
for a little show along with a nice refreshing tea.
That was nice. It is crazy busy, so much going on down here. Alright, guys that's
where we're going to end today's video. Did a quick little evening market run,
got some new stuff, had some delicious shawarma ice cream, I’m feeling full.
Ready for bed. So, make sure you guys check out tomorrow's video because it's
