- 🇵🇰 Well, it's our last day in Pakistan! And we're in the old part of Lahore. So as a fun last day, I thought I would walk around the streets and show you the best part of the country: the people! Almost no one learns Urdu, and so having learned Urdu, you get really unique conversations and interactions with the people. Hope you enjoy.

@@chrismixlewis lol.. that will be this guy then: ua-cam.com/video/59UrWyejCSQ/v-deo.html
Give me some tips how to learn other languages plzzzz
Lmaooooo
Whats going with comments 😁
Not only do you speak great Urdu but you have our culture and tastes. Every Punjabi loves lassi. Its delicious in Summer especially. Your observations are so accurate.
The food in Punjab is really good indeed!
@@chrismixlewis Thanks You, you are so Sweet and respectful Man♥️😊 thanks for you🤩you visiting A Pakistan
@@chrismixlewis Please You come in Lahore 😊 Lahore is Pakistan's Heart❤️So please you come In Lahore 😘
@@queenmughal3318 This is Lahore, haha.
@@chrismixlewis Hahahaha😂
Chris Lewis can speak urdu is not surprising, actually surprise, he can read urdu
reading is the easy part
Yeah the Urdu script is beautiful! It was a bit confusing at first because the short vowels are not written but it’s actually pretty easy once you get past the learning curve 😄
@@chrismixlewis if you can read urdu u can also read arabic and persian bcoz same script. thanks for visit pakistan , you are very brave and genius guy , thank you assalam o alikum
Compare to Farsi, Urdu written is easier for me as well to read as a foreigner
man im pakistani and i cant even read urdu
Dude I'm paksitani and you're certified pakistani now man got the mannerisms of speech down pat, legit pathan now. Impressive, I don't think I've ever seen any other westerner adapt quite so well not just language wise but mannerisms and culture wise too. We don't get a lot of media time... in some ways im glad, it's cool to be part of an exclusive club :P
I see Pakistan quite a bit.....on TV..
When I watch cricket 🏏
2:32 In the traditional weddings in Pak, groom goes to bride's house on a horseback. He said, sometimes he rents the horse for wedding ceremonies and also help the groom with the ride [because most of the people don't know how ride, and if he wouldn't help, the groom will fall down]
Thanks for clarifying!
@@chrismixlewis also when you said his accent was too thick for you to understand it was actually punjabi not urdu
@@chrismixlewis I think he was talking in Punjabi there
@@ishangodboleee Yeah I think he switched midway into his native language punjabi.
Chris, I have to applaud your patience, kindness & smiling face when you deal with us (overwhelming) Pakistanis.... You have been a great guest, I hope both you & max have enjoyed your stay. Apologies for any inconvenience that you may have had from us. Stay blessed!
Hey Chris,
Just before you judge brother, wanted to make one clarification the guy asked for a $ note as a souvenir not because they need money or something its just that unfortunatly alot of lower middle class people dream of going abroad and have grown up watching alot of hollywood movies so they like to keep a $1 note as a souvenir.
Keep up the good working and Stay Blessed!
@Chris lewis see this msg , that's a true
Can second this. You can't even convert a $1 bill in Pakistan to rupees. A lot of people like to collect foreign money just for fun.
@@WaleedDa1 this. just to brag also that he met a good western person!!
If he collects dollar bill, he should exchange the pak rupees.. why did he take the 10 rupees.. he should have refused.... his reflects a con man...... ⁉️⁉️
@@kaypee4704 He gave it back later. Maybe he didn't see it was 10 Rs and thought it was a dollar (10 Rs note is also green).
honestly you were the best travel vlogger to visit Pakistan. Knowing Urdu and being Kind made all the difference
This guy is one of the best travel vloggers overall… no weird comments and no flexing with his language skills, actually traveling and just making vlogs like he would in America.
You should check out Karl Rock. He is more fluent in Urdu than Chris. He also knows a lot about Pakistani cultures.
I don't usually comment on videos but I would make an exception here to say thank you for visiting Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is so precious. The smiles on people's faces😍
Conversation in their native language has an advantage that when people treat him like one of them, they won't be annoying and he will feel safer among them.
Pakistan'ın güzel bir kültürü ve güzel insanları olduğunu görüyorum. Bir gün Pakistan'ı ziyaret etmek için sabırsızlanıyorum 🇹🇷
🇵🇰❤🇹🇷
Welcome✨
@@CA_Pak119 your welcomme Brooo
Translation: I see that Pakistan has a beautiful culture and beautiful people. I can't wait to visit Pakistan one day.
thank me later.
@@Unstopabledreams
Bro I know👍
Even some Pakistanis avoid talking about politics and religion 😂
👍
Smartest decision haha
@@chrismixlewis Pakistanis are the worlds best at everything apart from politics. We are clueless.
@@faisalbajwa1568 not at cricket LOL( btw just casual sledging between brothers , no hate to any player, infact i lke shaheen as a player)
Best not to discuss Religion and Politics.
Geez dude, that Urdu is on point. Not just beginner level. Talking to ppl on the streets in that level ain't easy. Much respect.
I love how you’ve learned the Urdu language to speak to all Pakistanis.and your Pakistani accent is too good! You show soo much respect to everyone! We want more vlogs.Thankyou for your generousity. From Canada.
I started watching your videos today with my Pakistani parents and I have to say, it was such a joy. Its not just you picked up the language, but to see you interact so genuinely with the locals with such respect and love was truely beautiful. Continue making videos 💚🤍
The way you said to him “Is your name is Nawaz Sharif”so funny legend 🤣🤣🤣love from Milan Italy 🇮🇹
Chris, the maturity you exhibit to approach other cultures proves that you a very high EQ. Thanks for making Americans look good abroad. You are a great ambassador. We should pay you for it.
We have a big Pakistani community in Manchester and I wish I could speak Urdu, I know a few words, but, I’m no way fluent, it would be awesome to see someone walk down Cheetham Hill and be capable of chatting to the people here, they are nice people.
You can chat with us in English too
@@mohammadsami6031 I know, but, I think it’s much nicer and respectful if you have taken the time to learn some Urdu.
@@kry102001 This!
@@chrismixlewis like that, but, in Manchester.
exactly it's crazy Chris knows more Urdu than I do in my ethnic language (Tamil) that's what happens when you're born British or American 😂
16:37, When you said that Max knows Pashto, the man replied, "is he a mix (Urdu & Pashto)?". It basically means that he (Max) knows a little bit of everything. 😅
I love watching video's like these, the banter between the locals and the 'tourist' is great when the locals realise they're speaking their language is great. The locals really appreciate it.
LOL man, granted it was an innocent question but the 'are you Nawaz Sheriff' bit cracked me up. You are hilarious Chris. 🤣
Dear Chris & Max, its very sad to know that you guys are leaving pakistan and it was your last video here. wish you all the best and we wish you will come back soon. thank you very much for make us smile.
keep spreading love and laughter.
dont smile from fake videos. remember they are just selling a product. think of them as salesmen. who make videos with fake reactions, they arent always enjoying their time. just watch it as if you are watching a hollywood movie, its all acting and fake. just enjoy the entertainment. then you wont be disapointed.
These eastern countries always seem so open and friendly to strangers, especially if you speak their language or make an effort to be outgoing. People here in the west often just shush you away if you dont speak the language.
Indeed! People here are very curious and open and welcoming!
@@chrismixlewis Thank you MR..,❤️
In UK even you speak like a native English speaker ,no one really engages and the hospitality is non existent .
Luckily we Pakistani offer hospitality both there and here to all because it’s embedded in our culture and faith to do so ,be you a Punjabi or Pashtoon or other Pakistani But it is well known as well we Pashtoon go that little bit extra .We consider it very rude to not offer .
@@agulm6625 if a foreigner came to England and attempted to speak bad English they would get looked down at. In Pakistan they think it’s great that you’re trying
People will brush you away here if you don't speak the language also. That's why its good he speaks urdu
By 1.37 minutes my heart was melting watching you talking with the two young boys with beautiful smiles. With the world heading the way it is interactions like this are so important.x
Thank you Chris and max for coming Pakistan. May you have safe return to your home. Bye bye.....
❤❤❤❤
The languages you speak and the correct pronunciation is just impressive 👏
Chris, you're very brave to go to alley everywhere to show us REALITY. Just wondering how is your stomach reaction after tried all kind of local food/drinks on traveling..🙄
I actually didn't have any stomach problems in Pakistan believe it or not! Haha
@@chrismixlewis Good to know (as I thought)you have STRONG stomach.hihi
@@chrismixlewis where are you (and Max)going after leaving Pakistan ..Love you both 😘👌
This is Pakistan. You should do more research. It has lots of great food and people with far better hospitality than Vietnamese, like they could give you food for free. It's in their religion and culture. They are extremely nice.
Bro, the pakistani food is better and healither than the sugar trash from america
Some translations for Chris.
The horse guy said that he hires our the horse for weddings, ie as part of a horse and carriage, or for a groom to ride on. Traditionally grooms would ride on a horse, so some people still like to do so just for a bit of ceremony, even just for a minute or so for the wedding films.
The guy with the orange phone was telling you that the song he was listening to was a tribute to the "friends of Allah", or Wali-Allah as we refer to them as. This is a term used in our part of the world to refer to pious people/Saints. Islam spread in Pakistan based on the teachings of these peoples and their missionary work. There is a strong tradition of poetry and folk music praising God, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and often saints too.
I couldn't help but laugh at you getting directions from Lahoris. It's a running joke that you'll get all sorts of different directions in Lahore.
The concept of atheism is pretty unknown in Pakistan.
Islam spread in India and a country named Pakistan was made out from the Dominion of India for the Muslims of India
@@vamshikrishna2260 how absurd india is named after the river indus in pakistan we are the true Indians, no such thing as modern day india prior 1947 the historic indians are the people of the indus not u gangas who stole the name, identity theft at its finest it's like libya calling itself after the river nile as it's a neoghbour of egypt the indus doesn't even flow through modern day india, china has more Indus river thus making them more of a true indian than yourself
@@vamshikrishna2260 5 to 6% of the indian muslims migrated from modern day india to PK the rest are the inhabitants of that land
@@hectordoyle4843 very nice, so how absurd it is that Pakistanis don't even give preference to the greatest ever civilization known to human kind - The indus valley. Religion, tradition, culture was born out from indus valley. Do pakistani people even realize that? What a wonderful history the region had, sadly all pakistani boast about is nothing but the muslim invasions and the actual ancestors of each and every Muslim person of Pakistan were actually Hindu.
@@hectordoyle4843 sure why not? We can rename our country as Hindustan and you'll can keep the name India all for yourself. How sad was it that Sindh was completely given to pakistan while the actual inhabitants of sindh were forced to move away from their ancestral land. Nd now you hardly get any sindhis in sindh which is dominated by mujahirs
How on earth do you speak such good urdu! Wow man. Just amazing! 👏
Have you heard him speaking Vietnamese? It’s pretty impressive.
amazing video💖😍 God bless u and your family. Thank you for making us happy and smiling... Keep rising and shining... sending lots of Love and care 💕from Sydney, Australia.
Well done boys - great to see you guys explore Pakistan. I haven't been there for a while but looks amazing, almost some thing like from a movie set.
Man you are an absolute legend!!!Thank you so much for quality content.
I am new to your vlogs and this is your second video that I am watching. But I liked these videos and your accent and vocabulary is great. You know many words which I would not expect any foreigner or not local person would know. Also, I liked the interaction at 3:56. It is so wholesome and brought a smile on my face. Have a safe journey back. And keep doing the excellent work😇.
Oh my gosh 😂😂😂
He ate shinning wala paan.. that's really truly enjoyment!!!!
Shining wala enjoyment 😂😂😂 hahaha I love this joke.
@@chrismixlewis yeah bro, whenever someone says Shinning wala, whatsoever, it will remind us Chris Lewis and Max. . Lol 😂
Plz met me bro
Ek poto shinning Wala mery leye
Have been watching different travel vloggers visiting Pakistan but You are THE BEST! Love they way you speak Urdu in a very respectful manner.
You win my heart bro chris .May you live long both happy new year 🎉
lewis it was great experience watching your videos , Love from Pakistan ,and come back again in Pakistan next year , explore more cities of Pakistan
Since it’s your last video there, you had the freedom to show true Pakistan finally. I am born and bred Pakistani by the way
chris and max, i love yall's adventures, please keep them comin
That was so great of you Chris ..
I’ve got a lot of respect for cultured Americans. Big respect!
Enjoyed watching ur vlogs everyday, u were a great guest to have and as they say about Pakistan " U come here as a foreigner and leave as a friend" 😍☺one thing question only visited major cities u missed northern Pakistan and it's beauty hope u can go there in ur next visit In sha Allah ☺
Just saw a clip of Chris on TikTok. What a lovely person. Well done with the Urdu. He’s always welcome in Pakistan
Great you tube videos you really have kept us informed your Urdu is impeccable once again thanks for putting your faith in Pakistan and visiting.
Chris is bit jolly and entertaining personality, max Is excellent human being, you both are marvelous and wonderful. , doing wonderful job, God bless both of you!
The most common thing in Pakistan everytime you admire someone of something they will say .. اللہ کا شکر ہے i.e. Its all because of Allah . One of very beautiful things about Pakistanis they are always humble and always direct all praise towards Allah. Who is indeed the most praiseworthy.
Thank you chris and max for coming pakistan 🤗
Nice Video Chris And Max!
Chris actually they are surprising when you are speaking urdu to them.
hahaahahahaha very amazing video. Thanks alot.
Chris, when you return to Pakistan, you must visit Quetta, Azad Kashmir, Chitral, Hunza, and Gilgit.
Wow so lovely 🥰
Another great vlogs 👌
I am happy to see you too happy when you are drinking lassi🤗
Keep enjoying 🌹🇵🇰
You are getting real fun and love of local public, no doubt it will be surprising. 👏🏻❤️❤️🌹🌹👌👌
The religion thing is similar to hockey in Canada. I remember when a kid from England moved here I asked him what his favourite hockey team was...he responded that he didn't watch hockey and I looked at him like he was crazy.
❤❤
Why would you expect a kid from England to like hockey though? They don't have NHL teams there.
@@kayflip2233 I was a kid. I was just making conversation, I didn't know any better. This was also pre- internet days.
@@zeeshawnali4078 ah ok, makes more sense.
Lahore just looks like an Indian city, even the people look similar to Indian and also the culture. Very different than Peshawar.
I thought the same as well!
@@chrismixlewis It is because they are ethnically the same people. Lahoris are ethnic Indians. Pashtuns are ethnic Afghans that is why they are fair and different looking
True
@@asadkhan316 Ethnicity doesn't determine culture.
They are far more open minded. In general Indians seem very reserved.
Woah you're so great at Urdu!!
I'm really impressed :)
Loved this, Thank You!
Maybe that is why they are such nice giving people, their strong beliefs and how they maintain their culture.
Respect to both of you.
🎉very gifted young man and i’m very proud of you 👏 for learning multiple different language’s and working hard. your amazing ! 🍀
Brother I am really amazed by your Urdu language skill ...
I love it..
Some people in this world can be rude, so I hope you guys don't them too serious. As always, thanks for making these videos and sharing with the world
Chris is amazing person
My favorite part is rhe interactions with the people. Good to know what people are like and feel and think and you really get great interaction with people speaking urdu with them. I am sorry you are leaving Pakistan already. 😢 I could watch a whole another series of your interacting with people just an Pakistan. 👍
The video you're giving is great.
Thank you
Oh Chris you don't have religion I am Muslim and I am very much religious and spiritual and you are the first vloger whose vedios I am watching everyday feeling some type of sadness because I think Life without religion is nothing these are my thoughts.Allah will guide you Ameen you are really really a nice person
Do what ever makes you feel good. I also do not practice a religion. You are wasting you happiness on your sad judgmental thoughts. To each their own. Respect everyone's choice like they respect your's. It's easy to do.
Perhaps having no religion is why he is so open, happy and non judgemental
He asked for dollar and said "sauk hai mujhe" it means he like to collect currencies so he didn't accept Pakistani currency.
I was thinking the same. He has a hobby of collecting notes and coins or something.
Still begged for money. This I think is the difference between Peshawar and lahore.
$1 is a lot for a 10 second walk. He collects currencies to exchange back to rupees for more money.
@@kayflip2233 🤣
Given that he returned the money, let’s give him the benefit of doubt
Thank you very much for visiting Lahore. You refreshed my old memories stay blessed my dear...💝💐💐
You need to make more videos about Lahore city
Refreshing to see everyone trying to connect with each other
Max actually stole my words when he said "I thought you weren't religious" lol
Guys who have enjoyed a Christmas somewhat different from the West. Pakistan has a lot to offer. Society and culture span many diverse cultures and ethnic groups. It is interesting that even the reputation is still negative and tourism is prohibited.👍
Ayo where miles at?
Chris I love your Pakistan series
I love your guys videos man you and max are genuine good people! God bless y’all! When will y’all be back in Pakistan? I was going to visit my family in June 2022 and would love to invite y’all for lunch!!
The worst part about watching your vlogs is the part when they end🥺
Chris you sure look like a pathan! 🇵🇰 love ur vids and ur urdu from Mardan
Your Urdu OMG so so good I have been to China it’s been 5 years I,m not fluent and you,r speaking Urdu better than us locals lots of love ❤️ 💕
The " hello bakdi" was so cute and your urdu accent is also so good man!
You'll miss lahori breakfast in America 😁 btw thanks for showing Pakistan positive image. 10/10 for your urdu.
One Question Chris how come you and Max didn’t visit HUNZA skardu those areas plz say ur gonna come again and visit the northern areas visit kalash valley
Your and Max's videos are wholesome!
Wow amazing u now drink first sugar cane juice in Karachi now it's Lassi .u taste all flavour of drink .wish u best memories and we want every year u come Pakistan . We always love and respect u from heart . Pakistan zindabad
Good bye 🇵🇰 pakistan bro... happy journey of you... bro 👍❄️
Chris, how did you find your interactions with pashtun (pathan)? I found they have been very warm towards you guys. Even in karachi I found that your interaction with pathan was warm (the guy in Pakistani shirt (hashim amla), the tea seller from Chaman, Mr shinning photo guy etc). Again I found your time in peshawar was very good except the one small incident.
May be as a pathan I might be a little bias but it would be interesting if you could do a short video on this topic.
Lahore has been a little disappointing
Exactly. I was surprised.
Love from the usa and Pakistan, also great urdu🇺🇸❤️🤝🇵🇰
you are amazing, you speak so well Chris
Thank you Chris you are presenting Islamic country
Hey Chris wanted to give you a little input I wish I was there I would've loved to accompany you:
1. a lot of curious people and a lot of small vendors would rather take foreigner's currency for the collection...
2. That Lassi is too creamy so it can have a layer on your throat stayed for a while, that's another reason you're loosing your voice if you experience something of a sort , it's a good idea to have something warm, even just a little warm honey water...
3. Although it's very different from the west and sometimes western people might get offended but locals here can't understand the fact that someone can be an atheist, they think that people believe differently in God, but everyone does believe in God so they they'll keep on repeating the question and then due to the language barrier they think they're not able to communicate it to you.
4. You picked on the keyword mota wala for Lassi, it's very common to mend names and make nick names in Pakistan so the key for Lassi wala was "Jaida" which the guy who was giving you directions kept repeating.
Great video Chris💖💖 I am from Pakistan💖💖 I hope you enjoyed Pakistan
I guess the guy asking for dollars didn't mean , he is begging or want you to pay for searching the lassi shop.
People here loves to collect different currencies that why he is asking.
Nice joke
Yes bro, you are right...mujhay bhi collection ka shoq ha
Why would you ask a foreigner for it if you're a collector? Just buy it or pay equivalent money in your currency.
@@Adeel808s Cuz those baggers thought they can easily steal money from a foreigner making him her fool with their fake disposals
@@jonsnow466 shutup bro, if it was like that then why would he return the money?
I wish I could speak hindi that well :) You have amazing language skills bro.
thts urdu
Chris you are such an Amazing Person and love your Urdu ❤️🇵🇰❤️
Ahhaha lovely video specially kids and your Urdu is amazing
Come Back. Love the confidence!! LOL 😆
You don't have to be religious to believe there is a Creator, a Supreme Authority, Unique and All Powerful.
You are the first person I ever subscribed
Mannnn, Chrisssss ur awsomeee 💝💝💝💝. Sad that ur leaving so early. Please come back soon, i am from Balochistan, Quetta. Hope to see you in Balochistan.
Chris don't worry about it's just the culture of people in Pakistan if they haven't been abroad they are not familiar with lots of things. That's why they ask so many questions. (please don't be offended)
Why are you so apologetic?
How do you know Urdu man? Ia have seen many youtubers ,but none like you who can speak so many languages
He did study about Urdu and learned how to write ✍️ and speak both
Another youtuber named Karl Rock knows how to speak urdu/hindi and he is more fluent.
I just love learning languages. I started learning Chinese when I was about 12 years old, and traveled and studied in China. Then I went to Vietnam and learned Vietnamese. And for about a year I've been learning Urdu. Just love learning! My next language is Nepali :)
@@mohammadsami6031 Karl he speaks Hindi not Urdu, Chris can speak Urdu you can see the way of pronounce Urdu words with very respectful way
Chris from few weeks you entertained me a lot thanks for that.please please do very regular visits to Pakistan it’s big country and in each trip just cover two cities.big reason is your Urdu communication.please ripely me.Best wishes safe journey home 🏡.
Hi Max its great to watch almost all of your videos all are extraordinarily good.
I watched your peshawar video where you were looking for lassi and have pomegranate juice at that time i was thinking to give you advice to come to lahore for jedda lassi wala but you find him all alone🥰
This is the first video of you that I've watched. Thanks, Chris, for visiting our country.
It's sad we see some messed up people around the streets, like that guy who asked you of 'dollar', or those ones bringing up politics, and that one who called you guys "dehshatgard (terrorists)" at around 14:46. It's sad, really.
Why would he say that? Because Americans brought violence to Middle East and west of India?
@@bvedant it's a common perception here in East that the West supports all the Islamophobic activities.
