Kicked Out of Pakistan's Most Dangerous City 🇵🇰

  • We came to Quetta, a city located in the region of Balochistan in Pakistan. This region is advised against all travel for foreigners because of its high risk of dangerous activities that usually occur. But was there a side to this city other than danger? Myself @SimonWilson12 and @baldandbankrupt came here to see for ourselves what it was really like... it didn't end well.

      It was hilarious when local tried giving them ride on the bike, Ben said mate is that your camera poking me from behind and Simon was like "No"😂😂. Pressed up very closely behind me 😅. If I can summarize, youtube audience love to get drawn to this type of content, so here he is giving them that. At 4:15 ben said" I don't feel any danger at all, I actually feel quite safe as the people are super friendly"
      Security forces were just making sure you stay safe from foreign elements in that region due to one of world's largest deposit of rare metals, minerals, oil and gold reserves in this area other then that whole pakistan is wide open. Peace and good luck ben.

      Ben don't lose hope. It's like northern Ireland for uk😂 back in the day however locals were nice, smiling n welcoming to you guys. Security forces were not like Russia who would harras and put you in jail or banned you like Russians did to bald, tell me a single country name where security forces would be so concern about your safety and made sure to give you non stop escort out of danger zone. You didn't get treated badly or out of the ordinary it just anytime any foreigner come visit quetta you become their responsibility due to cross border targeting. I remember you have been told even by locals on train and when you say danger it's not danger like yorkshire or bradford in uk where you will be mugged or stabbed for few pounds. Security forces dealing with whole other beast from cross borders. This whole region is super rich with rare minerals, oil and gold reserves and had been the target of foreign entities. So don't lose hope as you got so much love from pakistanis all around and big boost to your channel since you first visited pakistan. Until next time go visit rest of the country if you would like. ✌️

    Ben! I apologize for the uncomfortable experience in this city. Yes, this city is crazy and also risky for tourist and very few tourists visit here because it's unpopular and secondly, it's dangerous. You guys should have contacted a local tourist guide here, before visiting Quetta. This is where I live, and I also avoid going to the main city as much as I can because it really is crazy and risky city. But the people here are mostly friendly. I am very glad that you took the risk and visited my city, but I do apologize for the bad experience you and Mr. Bald had to go through here.
    Quetta city has a lot of history related with British government. This city was first built by the British army. Those who don't know about that history should check it out on google or wiki.
    I think the areas in northern Pakistan are closed for tourist in this season because of the snowfalls, land-sliding risks or road-blockages. But I am not 100% sure about that.

I am sure (well, almost) that they were just excited to spend some time with you, but you just never know. Everyone was so kind to you and I know you had to leave Quetta, but they were obviously very worried about your safety. Bald looked like a giant at the bus station!

      It's like northern Ireland for uk😂 back in the day however locals were nice, smiling n welcoming to you guys. Security forces were not like Russia who would harras and put you in jail or banned you like Russians did to bald, tell me a single country name where security forces would be so concern about your safety and made sure to give you non stop escort out of danger zone. You didn't get treated badly or out of the ordinary it just anytime any foreigner come visit quetta you become their responsibility due to cross border targeting. I remember you have been told even by locals on train and when you say danger it's not danger like yorkshire or bradford in uk where you will be mugged or stabbed for few pounds. Security forces dealing with whole other beast from cross borders. This whole region is super rich with rare minerals, oil and gold reserves and had been the target of foreign entities. So don't lose hope as you got so much love from pakistanis all around and big boost to your channel since you first visited pakistan. Until next time go visit rest of the country if you would like. ✌️
