IMPORTANT UPDATE, PLEASE DO NOT SKIP: I have decided to move my non-Vietnam travel content to a second channel. If you enjoy these travel videos, please subscribe to Chris Lewis 2.0 (second travel channel): ruclips.net/channel/UCoqGJPtvsPpALlhtqB1lcHAfeatured After a lot of thinking, I have decided to keep this current channel a Vietnam channel, and use this second channel as a travel channel. Good news? Same content as before, and double the amount. You'll get Vietnam videos plus travel videos, just on two different channels. The next few videos will still be on this channel, but then I will begin switching over in about a week. Cheers!
And yes the phone tax thingy by the govt is so full of crap. What if im on a more than 2 month vacation to pakistan now for an additional month i have to buy another phone. This happens no where in the world but in pakistan due to such atupid acts by the govt. If im a reseller bringing in more than 5 to 10 phones its understandable but the phone which im using for myself should be allowed to operate. And then they have extremely silly tax prices. I wonder who came up with this extremely stupid idea.
Chris you need to go Bangladesh please it's a GEM 💎 . And tea out of this world. Fish so tasty your tongue will wish to swim with fishes . Cheap as chips . And sights us westerners only see 8n film
99% of Pakistani people are amazing and loving. I have been to Pakistan twice and I had very great and pleasant experience with amazing and loving Hospatility. All my respects for Pakistan. Stephanie from London
Hey stephanie I’m from the uk too how was it travelling in Pakistan being a lady I really love this place and have been to India many times but want to visit Pakistan too just wondering how safe u felt etc
@@amosand7476 why dont you come and see for yourself, you will be treated like a sister.....oh theres a slight chance you might get killed with all the love, respect and hospitality🤣.. so come if you dare. 🇬🇧🇵🇰
I love how this guy is honest with people and don’t mock india to get more Pakistani viewers. Really so pure and genuine the efforts he puts into learning language it’s so incredible
I lived and worked in Karachi for about a year, and I can honestly say I have never met kinder, more genuine and more helpful people. I didn't know any Urdu (unlike you), and yet I have rarely felt so safe and so well taken care of. Thank you for your wonderful videos, opening up the world to Pakistan.
Such a pleasant salesman/shop owner. Professional, well-informed, and so hospitable. The people you encounter are lovely. And it's the interaction with the locals that make your videos so enjoyable. Keep up the good work, Chris!
The guy in blue @6:08 seemed almost like a super fan :D. He seemed shy to engage in too much convo directly with Chris but knew so much about his previous videos. Another great video Chris! It was so interesting to know that Pakistan locks out foreign phones after 60 days if you don't pay taxes -- I had never heard of something like this happening before.
it was not like this until a few years back but as a lot of Pakistan including me work/study abroad and every years people brought few high end phones for family and friend, at one point most of the Pakistani market was saturated by non-taxed phones from abroad and people are bring them in bag loads. so the Govt start taxing it. but for people who are just there for a few months it works.
PTA and FBR are working on resolving this issue for Overseas Pakistani and Foreigners by introducing a new system, hopefully it will launch soon so if you come third time you don’t need to pay tax you just have to register on the website and it will unblock again for 120 days.
Luke Damant just left Pakistan so I was feeling like I wouldn't get good content anymore then you uploaded a video that you came back so I felt better. There are also a few other RUclipsrs in Pakistan right now like Backcountry Clint and Dale Phillips. For the past 3 years, there have always been at least 5-8 vloggers in Pakistan at the same time, which is so wonderful because we had not seen this before Imran Khan's government came into power.
Luke Damant was actually in Srilanka while he was uploading videos of Pakistan. Most RUclipsrs keep the videos on lag while they're filming in another country. Now he must be actually somewhere else other than Srilanka and would upload videos of the country.
Love Chris ❤️ and love Pakistan❤️ from Vietnam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 Xem video của anh từ 2 năm trước, mặc dù anh rời VN đã lâu nhưng em vẫn theo dõi video của anh mỗi ngày. K biết khi nào anh có dịp trở lại VN ạ? Chúc anh khoẻ mạnh và đi được nhiều nơi trên thế giới nhé. Em vẫn luôn ủng hộ anh hết mình. Big love ❤️
You are so far the best urdu speaking youtuber i have seen. And the way you communicate with the locals is amazing. I have seen people speaking and trying to speak urdu, or hindi but the pronunciation, and the way they talk sometimes sounds irritating, but you are different my friend. The way you talk really shows the respect you have for the language you are speaking.
In Pakistan it seems like it's really about the tea, and a little chat. There seem to be a lot of people just hanging around, several languages in play, people seem to want to talk. I like it! It seems like a good place to be retired.
Welcome Back To Pakistan. One Of The Best Embassador Of Pakistan. I Loves Your Urdu. I Hope You Buy A Property In Pakistan For Permanent Vocations In Pakistan 😊🇵🇰. Loves To See You Always Around Us 😊
Max I thought u were with Chris. The vid u posted 2 days ago both of u were eating food with bone marrow. It must have been previously recorded the last time u were there. Take care.
I am addicted to watching your videos. You have a very positive energy, and I am praying and wishing so hard that you remain safe and happy wherever you go. Keep shining, the world needs more people like you.
I really love your positive energy, the way you engage with the local people and how they take an instant liking to you. I can see their interactions with you are not just to be polite, but that they really want to engage with you. You’re a good soul Chris.
So Pakistan has a significant gap between it's imports and exports, which is something the govt wants to reduce. It's increased exports, but also heavily taxes what it considers luxury imports, like phones for example. This makes high-end phones very expensive in Pakistan. Now contrary to the data, there is a lot of money circulating in Pakistani pockets that isn't accounted for and there is a huge demand for luxury goods. This has led to opportunist people smuggling in phones - mostly expats returning to Pakistan. People would by brand new phones, take them to Pakistan and sell them, knowing that you could make a good profit. Hence the govt introduced this silly rule. The rule works though - people now either pay taxes, or their phones stop working. Also at the same time, domestic mobile phone manufacturing has sky rocketed. Pakistan has now become an exporter of mobile phones. Short term this is annoying for people, long term it's a model to self sufficiency and should be replicated with tens of thousands of other products.
Wow Indonesia terima kasih kk laki laki 😊 kamu orang Indonesian, salamat datang di Pakistan, Aku tahu bhasa Indonesian, Aku punya kk premium dari Indonesia🙏🇵🇰
I disagree with your stance that Indian people are the way they are because the country is more developed and business oriented. I’m speaking as someone from America, living in NY. I have many Pakistani and Indian friends. Pakistani people are definitely more chill. Both equally work hard, but I noticed Indians are more opportunists. Their friendships with you usually revolves around what benefits they might receive, financial, connections, etc. Where Pakistani people usually have more of a genuine friendship. It’s definitely a cultural thing. Not saying Indians people are bad, or even trying to disrespect them. But again, this isn’t necessarily true for all Indians or Pakistanis.
I appreciate your kind words for Pakistani people. I do study and work with Indians and also think their friend is based on the benefits but we think differently.
I have a Pakistani background born and raised in Canada. One of my close friends growing up born in Canada with an Indian background. He traveled back to India to live for a few years and said many people within India are very competitive (with each other) and very fake. They won't be genuinely happy or excited for you if you do well but really want to compare themselves to you. That was his experience, take it for what it is.
Hey Chris, You are amazing and a big wow for your urdu speaking skill. I also live in usa. The foreign mobile phones dont work after 60 days in pakistan as its govt's tax policy on phones from outside pakistan. For this one needs to pay tax on your phone or need to buy new or used phone from pakistan. I know Its very annoying and wierd for foreigners. I request the govt to come with solution to this. I hope our people are taking care well of you and you are having fun in pakistan.
Enjoying Chris' vlogs from Pakistan. He is slowly changing my negative opinion of a country I once visited. However, I must admit, the amount of trash in the streets, the parks and on the beaches continues to amaze me. Surely there are enough resources within the Pakistan government/municipalities to employ enough people to deal with this problem ?
There's a need for volunteers to start a "clean up day," where people get trash bags & clean streets, parks, lakes, etc. Set up large trash bins everywhere where citizens can take pride in their community. This is what is done in my city of 1 million. People r also fined if seen throwing trash & there's a no burning ban. I'm sure this will help any community/country. The way a country looks depends on their citizens since they r the ones littering. Chris, take care, have fun, blessings.
Chris I love your videos bro! The fact you can really indulge in the culture and speak with all the locals is so good, makes me so jealous man! Your fluent in mandarin or Cantonese (not sure which one it is, or both lol) and I would love to see you go and speak with the locals in china and explore!! Is there a reason why you don’t want to go a explore and make some content there? Keep doing what your doing man! So great to watch 💪🏼
Chris I watched it..Pakistani hospitality is awesome.. Actually it's Asia culture,, In Iran..in turkey too you will find same... All old civilization it's same,, Now some advice.. When you buy old Phone..used phone You should be scared..very scared. In India... second hand phone buying happen...after lots of checking..about seller..or say previous owner Because one don't know...if phone used for some criminal..or terrorism activities... In india.. because of extra alertness by authorities...many time it's been found out...about this... Result....new buyer find himself in unnecessary mess... Prey that...you remain safe. Love n blessings from india.🙏🇮🇳
I mean it's not easy to scam youtubers anymore because their face is published and everyone knows where they work so the Pakistani media will destroy that salesman within a few days lol. I'm a British Pakistani and when I visit I would expect to get scammed harder than a gora lol
Buying phone from a shopkeeper is different than buying used cellphone from an Individual person so There is no chance for Chris to worry about. Second he is a foreigner , third he is a RUclipsr and has video proof too. so why should he be afraid? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Hey Chris I recently started watching your videos Thankyou so much for showing pakistan 🇵🇰 love the way you speak Urdu hopefully one day you will have your own house in pakistan ☺️
Chris quick tip on haggling in Pakistan with the rickshaw drivers if they try to over charge you then give them your price and if they don't agree then walk away and watch how they beg you to come back. I know you are a kind gentleman and normally tip workers but the truth is that they need to learn a lesson.

Hey chris i am from karachi too, people are nicer here always ready to welcome foreigners, but u have to be careful at times, street crimes are very common in some parts of the city they can mugg you on gun point, so stick to the safe places and try accompany any local friend.
Well the govt has imposed heavy taxes on imported mobiles and it's benefits are showing now almost all the mobile companies when setup their assembly and manufacturing plants in Pakistan which has increased job opportunities for ppl plus more and more foreign Investment coming and now pakistan is exporting mobiles plus in few months the rates of mobiles will go 35-40 %down according to a report coz local manufacturing had increased a lot, Only apple is left which doesn't have a plant in Pakistan otherwise all the major mobile brands have setup their factories in Pakistan
i really appreciate your work , really u r a brave person , u have guts to handle these people's ,,, the Pakistani get excited sometimes but they are good from heart ,,, best wishes dear 🤟 ,,,
Yes, we are feeling jealous by looking at streets, metros, smart railway stations, skyscrapers, 6-8 lane roads, free wifi, CCTV zoned city....we are jealous 🥲
@@aashishgupta9392 Lol Pakitan has metros and nobody here use train as means of transport, We use International standard Motorways. We have safe cities what's the point?
Women in Pakistan dont usually like roaming around streets but if u wud look inside the cars, malls or restaurants ull find women there. But not in the streets. Coz of the pollution and hot weather mostly 😝
Pollution and weather is not that good in India as well....but still we can see women walking on the streets in India. Not just walking...they wear jeans t-shirts whatever they want....so do not blame weather and Pollution 😂
The areas chris usually visits are filled with daily wagers, that is the largest form of employment in Pakistan and that is around 95% of men. The women do not visit such areas as they are usually in markets, malls, restaurants, cafes or offices. There are numerous places in Karachi that are nicer and a full of women, but a run down juice stall or an electrical goods market is not one of them 😄
Chris, I have an idea for you: I hate to see so unnecessary littering all over. Use your influence, and gather a voluntary local group on ytube or Facebook and get the trash bags and forks and brooms ready and pitch in and pickup all the plastic and trash on the beach there or something like that. Would not only make for a nice channel but also possible inspiration for them to Kickstart a culture to volunteer and help their country from grassroots. If doesn't make sense, well... will keep thinking for some video ideas.... chao
@@gloriaa.garcia3985 yeah, I am seeing a great potential for them. People are wonderful, but I feel they may be lacking a willpower to get started. I believe once they rely on themselves (rather than the system, if any and they lack resources), and cleanup once, then they will be impressed with "new" world around them that they would like. And hopefully, that will induce cultural change to keep it clean and organized, and will have some psychological fulfillment that comes with volunteerism. I have been so impressed with Columbia and Sri Lanka how clean they looked for the most part, in videos I haveseen, though those countries are not wealthy either.

The foreign mobile phones dont work after 60 days in pakistan as its govt's tax policy on phones from outside pakistan.
For this one needs to pay tax on your phone or need to buy new or used phone from pakistan.
I know Its very annoying and wierd for foreigners.

Glad to hear! Indeed the trash is unfortunate. To answer your question, I’m guessing it’s a mix of corruption and lack of recourses/infrastructure.
Yeah it’s the attitude of the people here that is the problem. Only education can solve this.
There's a need for volunteers to start a "clean up day," where people get trash bags & clean streets, parks, lakes, etc. Set up large trash bins everywhere where citizens can take pride in their community. This is what is done in my city of 1 million. People r also fined if seen throwing trash & there's a no burning ban. I'm sure this will help any community/country. The way a country looks depends on their citizens since they r the ones littering. Chris, take care, have fun, blessings.
When too many people in very small area thn trash can be a big problem.... Too much population in Karachi
It’s an attitude thing, should start fining for littering and place waste receptacles throughout

Is there a reason why you don’t want to go a explore and make some content there?
Keep doing what your doing man! So great to watch 💪🏼
Good common people, Love from India❤️
Chris I watched it..Pakistani hospitality is awesome..
Actually it's Asia culture,,
In Iran..in turkey too you will find same...
All old civilization it's same,,
Now some advice..
When you buy old Phone..used phone
You should be scared..very scared.
In India... second hand phone buying happen...after lots of checking..about seller..or say previous owner
Because one don't know...if phone used for some criminal..or terrorism activities...
In india.. because of extra alertness by authorities...many time it's been found out...about this...
Result....new buyer find himself in unnecessary mess...
Prey that...you remain safe.
Love n blessings from india.🙏🇮🇳
I mean it's not easy to scam youtubers anymore because their face is published and everyone knows where they work so the Pakistani media will destroy that salesman within a few days lol. I'm a British Pakistani and when I visit I would expect to get scammed harder than a gora lol
Buying phone from a shopkeeper is different than buying used cellphone from an Individual person so There is no chance for Chris to worry about. Second he is a foreigner , third he is a RUclipsr and has video proof too. so why should he be afraid? Doesn't make any sense to me.
0:53 this sentence made me so happy. This means you're going to keep coming back.
Chris ur man with a golden heart :)
You have mastered the art of j walking on the streets of Pakistan 🇵🇰
Hey Chris I recently started watching your videos Thankyou so much for showing pakistan 🇵🇰 love the way you speak Urdu hopefully one day you will have your own house in pakistan ☺️
Welcome back dear 😀💗💗
Aby Bhai Tum noman center bhi pohach gaye zabardast Bhai great job well done 👍👌
Chris quick tip on haggling in Pakistan with the rickshaw drivers if they try to over charge you then give them your price and if they don't agree then walk away and watch how they beg you to come back. I know you are a kind gentleman and normally tip workers but the truth is that they need to learn a lesson.
Seriously he should not tip!! Locals don't tip
I love your video. Your video is so heart warming. ❤️❤❤😊
A company named Jazz offers their own branded phones which people usually use for hotspot. Thats cheaper

PTA blocks unregistered phone sets to minimise stealing of phones...its for safety reasons..if you register your fon on PTA it will continue to work as long as you want
As a foreigner I have no idea how to do that, nor do I have time. The rule is extremely inconvinient for tourists.
@@chrismixlewis
So sorry for the inconvenience.. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority PTA should make the process easier for the tourists..
@@atiharsh1993 why u r sorrylol , registering a phone on pta is very expensive , for a shit phone it can cost upto 45000 starting tax

Love Pakistan🇮🇳from India
Love how you pronounced Button there, Chris! Also, I noticed that you pronunce Pakistan right when speaking Urdu, but do a ' tan' when speaking English. I'm shocked you haven't been mugged as yet. Do you take any precautions?
Ghazab ki observation he aap ki. About Indian
Hey chris i am from karachi too, people are nicer here always ready to welcome foreigners, but u have to be careful at times, street crimes are very common in some parts of the city they can mugg you on gun point, so stick to the safe places and try accompany any local friend.
Our Karachi people are two good .they don't robed foreigners .
@@razariaz2889 yeah but some non karachiite are not that good

It’s odd that’s showing “no view” after 1 hour with a lot of comments 😃
Pakistani style 😄😂
Amazing vlog 👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻👌🏻may Almighty ALLAH bless u always n protect from bad people always🤲 all the best 👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well the govt has imposed heavy taxes on imported mobiles and it's benefits are showing now almost all the mobile companies when setup their assembly and manufacturing plants in Pakistan which has increased job opportunities for ppl plus more and more foreign
Investment coming and now pakistan is exporting mobiles plus in few months the rates of mobiles will go 35-40 %down according to a report coz local manufacturing had increased a lot, Only apple is left which doesn't have a plant in Pakistan otherwise all the major mobile brands have setup their factories in Pakistan
That's good news
i really appreciate your work , really u r a brave person , u have guts to handle these people's ,,, the Pakistani get excited sometimes but they are good from heart ,,, best wishes dear 🤟 ,,,
Indian's Are Feeling Jealous 🤣🤣 By the way Love From Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️😎
Yes, we are feeling jealous by looking at streets, metros, smart railway stations, skyscrapers, 6-8 lane roads, free wifi, CCTV zoned city....we are jealous 🥲

6000 for a phone plus a cup of chai is not a bad deal.....I really enjoyed your comment 😀🤣🤣
I’m sure other people have commented on this,your Urdu is on point👌🏼👌🏼😎
Women in Pakistan dont usually like roaming around streets but if u wud look inside the cars, malls or restaurants ull find women there. But not in the streets. Coz of the pollution and hot weather mostly 😝
@@lifeofaishaahmed4493 hain.. thats only the case in small cities. That sounds like 19th century thing to ask for permission to do anything.
@@lifeofaishaahmed4493 hmm okay. Everyone has different experiences.
Pollution and weather is not that good in India as well....but still we can see women walking on the streets in India.
Not just walking...they wear jeans t-shirts whatever they want....so do not blame weather and Pollution 😂
@@aashishgupta9392 hahaha farq visible hai phir pakistani aur indian girls me 🤪
@@fansari1000 yah! And that visibility is Freedom.
😁
welcome again to come Pakistan
The areas chris usually visits are filled with daily wagers, that is the largest form of employment in Pakistan and that is around 95% of men. The women do not visit such areas as they are usually in markets, malls, restaurants, cafes or offices. There are numerous places in Karachi that are nicer and a full of women, but a run down juice stall or an electrical goods market is not one of them 😄
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us x from uk
Chris, I have an idea for you: I hate to see so unnecessary littering all over. Use your influence, and gather a voluntary local group on ytube or Facebook and get the trash bags and forks and brooms ready and pitch in and pickup all the plastic and trash on the beach there or something like that. Would not only make for a nice channel but also possible inspiration for them to Kickstart a culture to volunteer and help their country from grassroots. If doesn't make sense, well... will keep thinking for some video ideas.... chao
I recommended the same thing for volunteers to start a "clean up day," there's lots of strong men 💪 there, I know they would do a great job.
@@gloriaa.garcia3985 yeah, I am seeing a great potential for them. People are wonderful, but I feel they may be lacking a willpower to get started. I believe once they rely on themselves (rather than the system, if any and they lack resources), and cleanup once, then they will be impressed with "new" world around them that they would like. And hopefully, that will induce cultural change to keep it clean and organized, and will have some psychological fulfillment that comes with volunteerism. I have been so impressed with Columbia and Sri Lanka how clean they looked for the most part, in videos I haveseen, though those countries are not wealthy either.
