    "Naswar" is tobacco snuff that you "dip". It is basically made of tobacco leaves and ash. The bazar that the nice taxi driver is mentioning is "Hasht Nagri" bazar. Pearl Continental is an old hotel but nice. I wouldn't call it five star. The taxi driver for some reason wanted you to give him 5 pounds so that he could have some foreign currency. The passerby was telling you that he was ?Mohmand Agency" which is a locality outside Peshawar.

    i really appreciate these videos, and they really do fascinate me. it gives a completely different perspective on countries we only hear negative things about in the news. its showing what the country is ACTUALLY like on a normal day, and insight into what the everyday citizen is like as well. I personally would still be very nervous in a country like this, especially with a language barrier. But most of the people u encounter seem extremely nice and even welcoming of outsiders. Dare i say, even more friendly and open then people i encounter daily.

    Ah this brilliant brother. I'd so like to do this. The closest I came to doing similar was staying in Lima Peru with my friends relatives who live there. You get to experience the full chaotic experience. We took a train to Aguas Calientes, my friends wanted to take the luxury train, but I suggested taking the locals train. They cried "what, with the hens and chickens??" Having convinced them, they found it hard to forgive me because it was slow, hot, and it broke down in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere! But it became a tremendous adventure, that you don't realise is occurring as it happens.
