Top Comments of this video!! :3
9:47 suprised me there when you said you can read Urdu. Karl, wherever you go, you get completely immersed in their language and culture. It's the highest form of respect one can give. It's very refreshing and heartwarming to see! Blessings.

Great video from months and months of your real experiences!!
OMG would be fun to do this as a collab with the juxtaposition and hilarious differences between living in a bubble most times in 5-star hotels and fine dining vs. budget-friendly experiences. Both are "real life" and "Pakistan local life" depending on who the local is ... Anyway, just a thought, would love to do this for my channel with you :-) Hope you're doing well, looking forward to good news for you and Manisha soon on your return home, Karl.

As Salamu Allaykim bhai! I just returned from a family visit to Lahore. Your videos helped me plan my visit and a trip to Islamabad while I was there.
The bus services are excellent, we used the Daewoo line, the service was as good as any airline.
I used an online booking service to select a guest house for my visit. Be aware of the neighborhoods you select, most listings tell you what neighborhood they are in, I was interested in being near Jinnah Market/F7 and finding what I wanted was very easy.
When visiting tourists sites expect to see two rates, one for locals, one for tourists. This didn’t bother me, I felt it was a good way to give a little extra support to the businesses.
While I have family here, I do not speak Urdu. Not a problem, most people speak very good English are are keen to use it. Everyone is very friendly and they are also keen to talk with you and learn about where you come from.
And now for the warning: Lahore is very loud. While things look chaotic on the surface, there is an order to the chaos. Crossing streets are challenging because pedestrians don’t have the right of way. Take a moment and study the rhythm of the traffic, soon you will be able to plot out a safe course to take. You may be tempted to run, DON’T… if you trip and fall, you run the risk of becoming kima(ground meat) take your time.
Thanks again bhai, I hope you are reunited with you lovely wife soon, In Sha Allah.
Khuda Hafiz.
