I really loved how that angry older chap started getting annoyed with you and straight away 3 or 4 locals came to your defence and to try and help you and look after you. Really says a lot about a community hospitality in my opinion, like they were so worried you would think badly of the area.
They were probably trying to protect the older man from an abrasive ignorant tourist. I'd probably say be a bit more respectful of your elders, especially seeing Pakistan was colonised by the British. He has a legitimate reason to be suspicious/disliking of a British visitor.
Nothing but friendliest and humble people. It's funny how Simon said "oh we got pigeons in UK and here they got eagles everywhere 😂 Old man thought you representing fake media news 😄
This whole video I was smiling. Usually in these sorts of places, people are only friendly for something in return. But the Pakistanis seemed really genuine and friendly. Good on them, would love to visit one day.
Another fun one is this guy who sort of hitch hikes to Beijing. The Chinese were surprisingly very friendly, it was neat to watch his trip. Mike Okay "China the media doesn't want you to see" video.
Well mate, I’m from Germany where most of the people always are stressed out and kinda unhappy with life. We got everything but can’t appreciate it. Your video once again, sets it all in perspective. What kind and lovely people the Pakistanis are. Makes you think about what life is all about and if money and wealth is the thing we should strive for. Much love brother, really appreciate your videos.
Exact same here in the UK buddy, we got everything and it's a very rich and safe country yet I will admit I also complain about stupid stuff that probably doesn't matter.
I’m a 43 yo guy from Dallas Tx. I’ve been to Karachi twice and going back next year again for a medical mission trip. The people of Pakistan are the friendliest people and the food is amazing! Can’t wait to go back again.
You don't get insurgents in the main cities, you are completely safe there. Only in the border towns and the mountainous regions would you be on danger.
Thought for a moment you forgot how to turn that camera on Simon! But truth is… your laid back demeanor & interaction with the locals is what we all love about you. Cheers mate & let’s do an American football game in Cincinnati come the fall season. Okay? Okay!
LMAO. If he wants to visit Bangladesh he should go to East London, if he wants Somalia or Jamaica, London again. If he wants to visit England he's got to go back in time.
Great video Simon!!! I’m originally from Pakistan but don’t go back very often. It was interesting to see areas I’ve not seen before. Looking forward to more Pakistan content!
Hey simen thanks for visiting pakistan. Here peoples are so kind, generous, and hospital as compared to other countries in the world. Keep going hope you will explore lot of Nature full of green mountains, along with waterfalls,lakes,and valleys in nothern areas like naran kaghan, sakardu, murry, swat and kashmir. Thanks
This video makes me appreciate traffic laws so much. I hope that Karachi will become better, the people there seem really nice. Also, it's great to have you back!
Simon so glad your back. Happy New Year. I came across your videos last year on the 21st of October 2023. Decided to start at the beginning and watched all your videos from the start. Started on the 16th of November and caught up to your final video from last year on the 16th of January. What a journey you've had since you started. Can't wait to see what you do this year.
This reminds me of Morocco so much! Crossing the street was taking your life in your hands. No crosswalks, no traffic signal, you just run between moving vehicles.
Just one thought. How many, casually walking around, women have you spotted? That's the thing with strict islamic countries. Remember, that's half the population being withheld from participating.
I must say you lads are rocking those Shalwar Kameez boys. Looks better on you boys than the locals. Amazing video, thanks for uploading. Add another subscriber to the list
Best time of the day is whenever Simon uploads.. Always a nice surprise as you know it's always going to be a banger, even if he hasn't got 1 or 2 months... Can't wait till a new series starts
I’m new to this channel but I absolutely love Simon. I wish that I had found this channel sooner. This guy is awesome. I wish I could have a friend like him in America. He’s the coolest dude ever.😊
Thanks guys, it’s great to see how other cultures work without having to actually be there. The lack of women is glaringly evident, it makes me grateful for the rights we enjoy here..
It appears as though the older generation may hold more resentment towards Westerners compared to the younger generation, who seem more willing to connect. Interesting to observe these generational contrasts in attitudes. ✌️
None hold resentment against westerners here. Don't know why westerners assume such thing maybe bcz of the media. It's just that old people don't understand the foreign language that well.
No it's just language barrier, the older generation are even more hospitable in fact. Look up the Hippie trails from 1950s until early 1980s when Europeans used to drive through Middle East, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan until they reached India all with the help and hospitality of the people of those countries.
Interesting content Simon 😎 you really know how to interact with people, nice job 👍🏻 I think the slums in Rio de Janeiro would make for an epic journey 🤔 safe travels dude 👋🏻
Im from India but know Pakistan has so many beautiful nature location. But you guys decides to go to slum and than do poverty shaming. I see similar videos of India , bagladeh and african countries also. This is mean of all white people of europiean. Its like stressbuster for yhem to see poverty and get satisfied. But dont forgot , all these are developing countries and in matter of 30 years all these will also gets developed
If you watched the other Videos Simon did in Pakistan you would have noticed he showed the good parts of Pakistan as well and I don't think this video was made to shame them that's not how Simon is
In 30 years there will be even more slums, you can rest knowing that the west will be loaded with slums too by then. Globalism of the west is making slums as we speak. Progress surely isn't globalism.
I’m Pakistani n I do dat in America😂. Da slums out here way worse than anything in Pakistan tbh😂😂. But slums r fun brodie das y ppl go to them. Ain no action in da burbs yfm.
Come on, It's not even the capital of Pakistan. He only went to the slums. I had a chance to go to Pakistan, it is a beautiful country. I hope Simon will go somewhere else from Karachi.
Hi! It's for the first time that I am posting my comment on any video, but your video made me to comment. I am originally from Karachi and it was really great to see your video related to my city. Looking forward for more interesting videos from ur side. Keep up the good work. 👍
Hi Simon and i am so glad to see you in my country. ❤❤ Welcome to Pakistan and I hope you enjoy your stay here. People are so friendly here. Let me clear one thing that in Karachi (especially in slum you visited), people migrated from different areas of Pakistan. They are from various areas of Pakistan; everyone with their own culture and languages. That old man appears to be a pathan and due to constant war with America in Afghanistan, some pathans dont like American people. Maybe he has misunderstood you. Otherwise it’s totally safe to explore Pakistan. People are so friendly and jolly. Must try food of Pakistan. Let me know if you are visiting Faisalabad( a city in Punjab province)or nearby cities and i would be happy to host you, show you around and have some good local food as well. Thank you for coming ❤🎉
I love how everytime you say everyone's so friendly here, everyone's so nice then the next thing you know someone's being rude or doesn't like you lmao.
It’s so interesting watching Bald’s video and then backpacker ben’s video, and seeing the introductions all starting in a different way, and then watching yours, how people interact with you was just such of a higher standard than the videos and it’s no offence to them. I love both of the videos I’ve just seen the way the people interact with you you’re a natural talent for just bring out the best in these individuals I want to be able to make you try food bit more interested and you don’t talk about the history of the area it doesn’t matter we just wanted to say, you can’t replicate Simon Wilson
It’s a great video showing the real picture of Pakistan where you see people who are happy with the little they have in their life and appreciate it,,,, and the best part is all the people are with a great smile and are friendly without any expectations of a favour in return and with great hospitality ,,, well done guys for posting this video. but you guys need to change the title of the video as the town you named as the biggest slum in the world is not correct as that place/town is not a slum by any means or by any standards ,,, it only lacks cleanliness but it’s got all proper built house with people living in with good standard of life and this town has been with all the basic needs of life like water gas electricity etc etc. all people are working and happy with their life style Biggest slums are in some other countries and tbh I have seen slums which you really call slums in one of the most developed and rich countries of the world.
Yes, India is crazy but it is a much more safe and developed country than Pakistan. I am sure you must have received all the love during your trip to India and we hope you visit India again.

Things to do to get subscribers 😂
That’s just how they say hi or form of warm greetings in Pakistan 😂
Not a soldier , untrained security guard who careless for anyone's life 😂

Simon: I'm trying lots of new foods. Simon 5 seconds later: I only eat McDonalds! :):):):)
Yeah lol, love his videos but wish he’d try more foods!
ikr wtf 😂😂😂
he fuked up when he said food is good xd
Nothing but friendliest and humble people. It's funny how Simon said "oh we got pigeons in UK and here they got eagles everywhere 😂
Old man thought you representing fake media news 😄
New foods off the McDonalds menu.
because he was meeting those other 2, not eating himself
What’s your name ? My name is Abdul Rashid….Simon says Abdullah get us safe there 😂
😂😂
Even myself as English speaker recognized that 😆
Simon: *gets mugged*
Also Simon: What a guy!
what does that mean
@@GuentherSteiner92923 that he’s literally nice to everyone 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
"He only took my wallet and didn't punch me in the face, what a champ! Cheers mate!"
@@Kiwi2703hahahaha....so true!
This whole video I was smiling. Usually in these sorts of places, people are only friendly for something in return. But the Pakistanis seemed really genuine and friendly. Good on them, would love to visit one day.
Ya I’m Pakistani, truth is most people are kind and honestly like seeing tourists, especially countries that don’t get a lot of tourists

Exactly well said. They might have small wealth but have big hearts.
Yeah that was very interesting :D would also like to see all those places.
Genau richtig
Well said!
I’m a 43 yo guy from Dallas Tx. I’ve been to Karachi twice and going back next year again for a medical mission trip. The people of Pakistan are the friendliest people and the food is amazing! Can’t wait to go back again.
I tell ya, I believe Simon could get kidnapped by insurgents and still end up best friends!
What a nice guy 😂
Simon would be over the moon I am sure
You don't get insurgents in the main cities, you are completely safe there. Only in the border towns and the mountainous regions would you be on danger.
Simon who loves local food running away from that gaaava( actual guava) was funny 😂
Love how he just gets into it no intro straight to the point
"Toothbrush" is called miswaq and has been used for centuries. Was recommended for use by the World Health Organization in 1986.
I need to get miswaq so bad!
@@LunakieCherrieit's an arab muslim "toothbrush" that muslims all over the world use
We have a paste called Meswak in India. Had no idea why it's called so!
Literally went on your page wondering “ when will Simon upload again? It’s been more than a month!”
Keep up the great work !
What an experience! So far out our comfort zone by miles! Wow
Did this yesterday haha so glad to have him back!
The whole "I'll post weekly in 2024" new year's resolution didn't really go well for Simon lol
I've been refreshing Simon's channel like mad since bald put out his video on pakistan a few days ago.
Most friendliest place.
Going into a shop and hearing “Get out!” for no reason then walking saying how friendly the people are is insane 😩
Simon : food here is good
Stranger : what food did you like here..
Simon : McD 😂
Awesome video and it’s so nice to see you interacting with the locals. Super humble guy. Enjoy your trip and be safe
Thought for a moment you forgot how to turn that camera on Simon! But truth is… your laid back demeanor & interaction with the locals is what we all love about you. Cheers mate & let’s do an American football game in Cincinnati come the fall season. Okay? Okay!
As a British Bengals fan if Simon does come over to Cincy I would also! WHO DEY!
Thanks Simon, an honest travel show without the spin.
Simon, you could've just gone to Bradford mate. Saving cash etc.
Thanks for that Ludwig
LMAO. If he wants to visit Bangladesh he should go to East London, if he wants Somalia or Jamaica, London again.
If he wants to visit England he's got to go back in time.

Great video Simon!!! I’m originally from Pakistan but don’t go back very often. It was interesting to see areas I’ve not seen before. Looking forward to more Pakistan content!
Hey simen thanks for visiting pakistan. Here peoples are so kind, generous, and hospital as compared to other countries in the world. Keep going hope you will explore lot of Nature full of green mountains, along with waterfalls,lakes,and valleys in nothern areas like naran kaghan, sakardu, murry, swat and kashmir. Thanks
Guess who s back back again!!
Simon’s back, tell a friend!
Slim Shady?
Literally
I created a monster !!
Simon s back,tell your friend
This video makes me appreciate traffic laws so much. I hope that Karachi will become better, the people there seem really nice. Also, it's great to have you back!
Simon, genuinely I love your videos and you’ve helped me so much to create travelling videos myself of all forms ❤
9:43 The dude just chilling next to a giant chunk of meat. Bro that had me on the floor crying 😂😂😂
The way his sitting next to it 😂
With his disgustin feet up on the cutting board 😭
builds up your immune system ya weak boi @bahionic
More like poison resistance😂@@astroboirap
hhaahhahaha
I was waiting for you to release a Pakistan video after I saw you on the train in Bald’s video a few days ago, brilliant as always
Simon so glad your back. Happy New Year.
I came across your videos last year on the 21st of October 2023. Decided to start at the beginning and watched all your videos from the start. Started on the 16th of November and caught up to your final video from last year on the 16th of January.

11:05 I see walter white has expanded his blue crystal business to Pakistan too 💀
Bro was rattled 😂
That guy knocked!
Just one thought. How many, casually walking around, women have you spotted? That's the thing with strict islamic countries. Remember, that's half the population being withheld from participating.
We often mix culture with religion. In more developed muslim countries, you see women everywhere.
yes, you see hardly any women. not a country I could visit.
So, what's your problem or your business? Their country, their rules.
@@kahutochishisumi9056 I'm sure they are just a person concerned about human rights. women are humans, you know?
If the women cannot be referred to at all, they are truly invisiblle. @kahutochishisumi9056
Glad you are back, was waiting for your next video... Can't believe you are in Pakistan!!
I’ve watched so many of your videos and I have to say this was one of my favourite. Always something going on, brilliant content mate keep it up x
So glad a Simon video dropped and this one was overwhelming wild 😂
best vid from simon in a whileeee...... do more like this!!!! we miss thisss!!!!
mate, u should go up north into the mountains. Then you also get some great views with the hospitality
I must say you lads are rocking those Shalwar Kameez boys. Looks better on you boys than the locals.
Amazing video, thanks for uploading. Add another subscriber to the list
This is the funniest video I have seen in a long time. 😂😂
Random guy: Try some guava mate.
Simon: No I only eat McDonalds.
Simon always keeps it fresh. Love his videos
Simon you are brave! I am a British born Pakistani and I would never visit the places you have! Well done to you.
06:59 Not a cement truck but a truck full of wisdom and knowledge
lol
18:20 I haven't seen one of those working since a visit to Styal Mill as a kid! Proper old school and a skill to use!
Thanks god you came back again. I couldn whait
Best time of the day is whenever Simon uploads.. Always a nice surprise as you know it's always going to be a banger, even if he hasn't got 1 or 2 months...
Can't wait till a new series starts
9:34 why you should go vegan during travelling
I’m new to this channel but I absolutely love Simon. I wish that I had found this channel sooner. This guy is awesome. I wish I could have a friend like him in America. He’s the coolest dude ever.😊
Love you videos , please upload more frequently, are you doing any merch this year , I’d love some merch or some Simon Wilson/Skint stickers
subscribed after you jumped up on the top of the bus, really appreciate your attitude to life, we could all learn a little bit from you
Now I get why parts of UK are getting a similar look !
I love how you always say in your vids ‘ oh no I only eat McDonald’s’ 😂 the nicest most jokingly way possible to avoid the unknown!
Thanks guys, it’s great to see how other cultures work without having to actually be there. The lack of women is glaringly evident, it makes me grateful for the rights we enjoy here..
and the ones some of us now need to fight to keep in the USA!
This was my favourite video of yours ever! I was laughing the whole way through you had great energy and just having an amazing time 🎉
"I only eat McDonalds"
Simon gets 100 bucks every time he says that
Been watching you for years now, and finally you've come to Pakistan. Hope you enjoyed your time here.
I don"t recall seeing one woman/girl in the entire video strange things about these countries why i enjoy south america
love that you are always upbeat. amazing video.

The toothbrush
was hilarious😂
Watching this from Karachi, where I live... Canadian here. I was laughing from beginning to end of this video. Thank you for this. I needed it! :)
Please visit slums in Brazil too
No way
The amount of people I know from Pakistan who are so friendly, it’s no wonder you have such a good time
Nothing absolutely NOTHING is funnier watching Simon and Ben in chaotic situations, only thing is Ben is use to it 😂😂😂😂😂
I loved the run-in with Bald. He's the man!
Dude travels all over but never tries the local food.
Interesting content Simon 😎 you really know how to interact with people, nice job 👍🏻 I think the slums in Rio de Janeiro would make for an epic journey 🤔 safe travels dude 👋🏻

The trio that we need every week simple as 🔥🔥
Your social skills are crazy. I mostly avoid people and I dont like many 😅
Same🤣🤣🤣
What a great adventure I have so enjoyed your travels from New Zealand
After watching this video I can confidently say this is the closest I'll ever get to Pakistan
Good because they don’t need that toxic energy you’d bring.
Come on, It's not even the capital of Pakistan. He only went to the slums.
I had a chance to go to Pakistan, it is a beautiful country. I hope Simon will go somewhere else from Karachi.
Thank You for coming to Pakistan, Simon
Being with Bald and Ben is nice, but we need Simon and Harald in 2024
Very enjoyable video to watch
Thank you for sharing ❤
My worst nightmare is his everyday reality how can you talk so openly to everyone!
i literally want a pound every time that simon literally says literally haha - literally a boss video my man!
On no planet is it a toothbrush
Let's just say what it is
ITS A STICK 😂
Ecstatic to see you back! Just finished binge watching the America trip with no money! That was incredible!
"You need gun for McDonald's? No worries, thank you" 😂😂😂
Hi! It's for the first time that I am posting my comment on any video, but your video made me to comment. I am originally from Karachi and it was really great to see your video related to my city. Looking forward for more interesting videos from ur side. Keep up the good work. 👍
Got 2 challenges for you:
1) Find 1 WOMAN walking alone by herself.
2) While walking in a street near a road survive 5 seconds without hearing a honk.
I had walked around some of these area myself last month. But you found some really crazy spots . Good work
14:50. “It’s so different to England!” I agree, there’s fewer Pakistanis. 😂
Hi Simon and i am so glad to see you in my country. ❤❤
Welcome to Pakistan and I hope you enjoy your stay here.
People are so friendly here.
Let me clear one thing that in Karachi (especially in slum you visited), people migrated from different areas of Pakistan. They are from various areas of Pakistan; everyone with their own culture and languages.

Great video bro...
Awesome ..man love how you go deep into the local culture ..you are fearless
I love how everytime you say everyone's so friendly here, everyone's so nice then the next thing you know someone's being rude or doesn't like you lmao.

but you guys need to change the title of the video as the town you named as the biggest slum in the world is not correct as that place/town is not a slum by any means or by any standards ,,, it only lacks cleanliness but it’s got all proper built house with people living in with good standard of life and this town has been with all the basic needs of life like water gas electricity etc etc.
all people are working and happy with their life style
Biggest slums are in some other countries and tbh I have seen slums which you really call slums in one of the most developed and rich countries of the world.
The toothbrush is called a miswak,
I call it a twig
Wow, we call it mswaki in swahili
Going on my first trip over seas to visit Europe! Thanks for the inspiration Simon! You’re the best mate
Yes, India is crazy but it is a much more safe and developed country than Pakistan. I am sure you must have received all the love during your trip to India and we hope you visit India again.
Doesn’t look any more developed
Doesn't look safer to me
Just love your channel. New subscribers so binge watching your adventures
That's not a river its open sewage, karachi has been destroyed by politicians and criminals in the past 2 decades
It was a paradise in the 90s and before?
U make very speedy video. Exploring Karachi in a wrong way. Chris Lewis. Jack. Ellis and many more Vloger exploring Karachi in a right way.
Its London 2024
Your fault 😂
great video again, really enjoyed it! literally!
