good morning everybody uh lahore fort fort lahore fort i will show you a photo the fort i'm going to lahore fort lahore the fort 150 ah lahore fort 300 300 you say all right everybody got a tuk tuk here that's  the best thing you know about here in pakistan   just go out on the road flag somebody down and  you got a tuk-tuk on your way but we're heading   to lahore fort i'm gonna go check out the area  and i will bring you all along for the journey all right everybody lahore fort was a little bit  further away than i was expecting so pretty good   price we got like 300 rupees uh it's we've been  driving for like 20 minutes but i really think   uh we're getting our first taste of lahore today  you know yesterday we came late in the afternoon   we kind of hung around all the areas near  the hotel uh but i feel like we're downtown   you know we're right near the fort where  all the action is where all the traffic is   where all the shops and markets are so i'm  excited to be in the downtown area you know   you got tuk tuks your motorcyclist got honking non-stop that's how  you know you're in uh the downtown of a pakistani   city when there's continuous honking of people  cutting each other off just like that we're really   in the midst of the action so i think we're  pulling up shortly and we'll see what happens all right welcome to food street we'll give them a tip but i do  need some change but i think this is uh lahore fort everybody all right do i have to buy a  ticket or do it can i just walk in   i think those people are just like walking  in right so what's this ah the ticket fair ah here there's nobody here salham gum who's here who's home ticket fare   free free free 400 500. i think we  can just walk in so let's do that people are just chilling beep all right hey look at all these colorful pots here is  that a shisha i thought it was shisha o'clock   mustn't be but that's beautiful  all clay pots and everything   i don't know where i am right now i feel like  this whole area might be lahore fort maybe we'll   uh check in a second on maps or we'll just  keep walking around aimlessly like 99% of my   videos are i think that's a better idea let's  do that oh they're playing cricket over there   there's some pretty cool buildings all the doors  and kind of the framework all made out of wood   beautiful architecture it looks awesome but  there's no stalls here i guess you have to come   here during the night time that's the best time to  visit when all the hustle and bustle is going on oh don't tell me is it actually closed who would have thought where is lafo lahore fort lahore fort hey not everybody wants to help  a clueless foreigner like me   all right well let's just keep roaming  around where is lahore fort yeah   it is over that way right you can use this way  uh-huh go straight go straight and then left left   and then straight ah then left okay you can inside  lahore fort ah thank you and how much does it cost i think foreigner uh in pakistan 1,000 or 2,000 foreign thank you very much so nice would like some tea yeah tea chai yeah yeah chai abdulla this is the chai no no that is uh all right where are you from australia you are uh lahore lahore all right guys how you can speak u urdu you you live in pakistan tourist hospitality here is uh unmatched honestly  people in pakistan are so kind they're   uh very friendly yes but we're gonna sit here  have some chai with this friendly fellow and   uh then we'll go on to lahore fort you  know people are so kind here seriously   it just is uh mind-blowing oh the chai is here it is here all right i think so here all right fresh chai and the  best part is he didn't pay for it ah that is delicious i made the mistake though i grabbed the  smallest one there were two bigger ones   all right everybody finished off the chai our  friend is uh he's working he's working a job   well he's chatting to me so he's been a little bit  preoccupied for the past minute but oh honestly   chai in the mornings nothing beats it you  can't get anything better than that so i   think we'll wait here for a minute chat to our  friend and then we'll head off to uh lahore fort i go to lahore fort yeah it's  this way and then that way right yeah okay   thank you all right let's head to lahore  fort everybody apparently this way   and uh i think like honestly that's it there  but the entrance is uh over this way so   we'll keep walking this way and hopefully we'll  come across like an entrance where we can pay uh   pay the fee and then go inside let's do it  look at all these crows flying in the air   they are huge honestly they look like eagles  they've got a massive wingspan they're just   flying around in the power lines up on the uh  up on the towers there as well but they're just   it's huge i can't even get  over how big some of them are   but it's like flying around there's a good  chance we've got a shat on to be honest that's   a very likely outcome so i better not like look up  with my mouth open or else get shat in the mouth   especially when i'm walking under this little  bit ah this guy's feeding them that's what it is   that's why they're so obsessed oh my god actually  no we'll stay on the footpath there buddy there's   so many of them what the hell oh honestly  there's no way we're not getting pooped on oh all right let's go this way  the feeding frenzy is over all right we turned left off of that main  street and now we're walking down another   street i'm hoping there's an entrance  soon there's no signage like really at all   but there's some rickshaws there's  a lot of the uh motorbikes here   and uh yeah we're gonna still just keep walking  we'll keep we'll keep exploring the streets   until we find something interesting or we find  somebody that is interesting so cello let's go   all right well this is an entrance somewhere let's  just go in here i don't know this is the official   uh this definitely is not the official thing  oh i think the entrance is actually just there   these are just like little barricaded office  that people have like broken the locks   on and they just chill on the grass so  we'll keep walking this way and i think   oh it's pretty busy very busy look at all the  traffic here that looks like a promising entrance is this the entrance i don't know but we're  going up here let's go speak to these guys wow look how big this is look at that open ney where is the entrance this way okay i guess you'll just keep on walking i  think they got the same idea i think   they want to go in as well so  hopefully if we uh follow them oh here's the stairs oh all right let's see walking down the street  then hey oh this might be it i was uh losing   faith a little bit because we've been walking for  so long but i think we might have found it guys look here's an entrance this looks like a pretty  hustly bustly area oh maybe we go through this way   all right let's see what happens this is lahore fort right okay  this bag oh yeah yeah yeah australia this is lahore fort right ah okay thank you all right this is it everybody  let's go in let's see what is inside i do have metal on me i think the uh the guards were just a  little bit confused because i was alone   you know what actually helped me get  in here is because i saw a massive   tour bus a bunch of tourists uh that were coming  in here on a massive big bus so i was like all   right there's no other reason for a big bus to  come this direction unless uh it's lahore fort. so   let's go inside it's actually crazy you go  like 100 meters back and it's just like honking   hustle and bustle people selling stuff and then  you come in here it's so calm so chill like all   the the beautifully cut bushes and cleanly  cut lawns and everything it's just like a   good vibe but i'm just following everybody else  everyone's walking up here for a reason right   usually you just follow the crowd and uh  you get where you want this is all these are all the buses that i was  talking about all these buses were coming in   i was like there's no other reason for a bus to  be in lahore or at least this part it's like all   right let's do it the butt brothers funny  name all right i haven't found like a place   to buy a ticket or anything but again i'm just  following the crowd and it seems to be working somebody said so beautiful anyways we're following  the crowd and i usually leads to our good things   so there's a crowd over that way and there's a  crowd over this way as well i think if we go in   here oh look they got shoes they got watches  all kinds of things oh this is pretty cool all right let's walk around see what's going on uh australian yes that is me remember how  are you i'm glad of course i'm

days are you uh one week then you go to australia ney dubai dubai okay okay okay thank you nice to meet you guys as i was saying so there's  a lot of sikhs here at the moment for something um   which i found actually quite interesting because i  didn't know indians were actually allowed to enter   pakistan i thought like literally unless you  have like a business meeting or something here   it's like basically impossible so you learn  something new every day don't you everybody   but here is the uh the fort oh it actually  looks very beautiful it's maintained super green   all that stuff and uh which way do we go here  we'll just walk straight over the top here and   follow everybody else let's uh let's go inside  alright guys as you know i like to go off the   beaten track i like to do kind of like not what  the other tourists do so there's like the main   area i've walked over this side because i saw  this like really cool ramp and i know there's   going to be some good views up the top here over  lahore and we can walk around on the edge here uh   so yeah let's go see what it's like over on the  edge i don't know what side we're coming up on all right so that that was  where we walked wow it's so busy   it's you go down like five meters and it's dead  quiet and you go over here and it's so busy   but you definitely don't want to  be falling off here or you end up   fried in between some power lines so i'll watch  my step here but yeah this is the uh this is the   road i walk down and i think that security guard  that we had chai with is uh on this road over here yeah i think over over there  so look how busy it is guys   it's absolute insanity it's literally just  like it's like you walk five meters here   it's peaceful and then you walk five meters  that way it is so loud but let's walk along   the top here this is so cool such a beautiful  area that's you know well maintained got grass   salaam alaikum we have some people coming over  but here's the older the remnants of the old fort   made out of brick and stone and cement and then  in here maybe this is where they like shot all   the arrows and stuff out of to to guard  the fort here in lahore it's pretty cool i'm surprised this isn't like cordoned off like  in australia if you were able to walk off of this   you fall off of there and you're instantly rich  from the amount of people you'll be able to sue so let's walk this way oh look at this cool little opening this is like  the lookout spot you have all your guards here   they got their little peaky windows that you can  see out of you know making sure the area is all   safe fully 180 degrees of vision here making  sure that all of lahore is uh super safe   and it's pretty difficult to get up here  so nobody's taking your throne anytime soon all right   we're on the back of a motorbike i don't know  where we're going but it's always an adventure   oh look at all the people we got wow watch out  coming through coming through coming through   hell yeah this is the best way this is  so good let's go all the way down okay   very good here look so many sikhs coming from  india they got their uh the knives i don't   know too much about sikh culture but i know  uh they always carry a small like dagger or   a small knife on them at all times but all right  watch out guys coming through coming through wow it was such a good option getting on this hey it's so it's so funny who would have thought  that uh you'd be able to drive a motorbike   in like one of the biggest tourist  attractions here in lahore just uh all right how's that don't have to walk a kilometer now just  got a free lift down there what a great guy but   we're back where we sort  of began oh salaam alaikum   how are you good we're back on that  main area so we're gonna walk out   let's go get some food get some juice  or something like that oh cricket bat all right chello let's go for a walk i wanna get some food or something  i don't want to tuk tuk just yet oh look sugarcane again this is the perfect  like snack i had some in uh in cyprus village   sugarcane you get like a kilogram for like 80  rupees or so where's the guy i want some sugarcane   nobody's here to serve me all right let's just walk  down this thing and see what happens   all right i want to get across this  road here over to the other side   the traffic isn't like too bad thankfully you  kind of just like walk and hope for the best   it's the buses that you've got to look out for  like those ones so that was actually pretty easy this one might be a little bit harder you kind  of you got to use the locals as your barriers oh yeah expert expert level all  right let's see what's on this side you can do shoe clean uh just like clean yeah like uh put my socks here we got the big feet ones yeah just uh clean 100 all right time to get these shoes  cleaned we bought them in baghdad   they uh they are baghdad iraq iraqi shoes baghdad fresh nike kicks and uh you know  shoving around iraq you can see   the dust actually coming off of them they  got super dirty oh he's doing a great job tobacco ahh nicotine that's like chewing tobacco  basically it gets shoved in the gums oh look how clean its coming up a bit of black polish is used to keep  them to keep them black like you can   see the difference look at that one compared to  this one i'll do a comparison in a second but   he's such an expert he's got wow  that bus is loud look at that bus that is looking good like  they actually look brand new fresh smells uh very chemically but yeah good good oh you're from the same area australia and then here there all the shoes   yeah we got our slippers on i got pretty big  feet but here's all the uh the shoe laces the leather we got the shoes we got those things there's uh big bag of niswar you're never running out twenty twenty rupees twenty dollars twenty rupees for uh a bit of niswar i'm not gonna try any of that stuff  i'll try other things but not niswar 100 rupees is around um like 60 70 cents us  us dollars and he's doing a pretty good job   he's been working on these uh for a while  you know making sure that there's no uh no wrong things and he's keeping  the white nike tick clean   you know you always got to keep that  beautiful tick the legacy of the nikes foam i don't know what that's for oh  we're even getting a bit of oh ah to clean the uh those bits oh so he's  getting some kind of liquid on there onto the foam and i don't know what that does i think maybe it keeps it from getting  dirty maybe it looks good though oh smell it smells very chemically chemical one minute very good all right we will sit and wait all right  so these are sitting in the sun waiting to to dry   we're on the streets of lahore  we got pears behind us oranges and i think we'll go get some food in  a moment after we get our shoes back on   i think there's a couple stores that way  that we'll be able to uh to get our food okay all right let's put these on we'll  try and keep them as clean as possible there's one oh they're  looking fresh they look good here's the other one oh yeah look how clean they look compared to what  we had before they're even shiny assalamu alaikum   i got my shoes cleaned very good look at that  that's like what they were at the bottom okay   very good all right we'll give  him a reward he's a kind guy here you have got our shoes cleaned look how good they  are bye-bye it's always good helping out   the locals you know especially when they're  friendly and kind like that i think i found   exactly what i need some fresh coconuts oh  these are going to be good salami coconuts okay you you you drink i'm so confused do you drink them right  they're not 300 okay after a bit of uh language barrier there we have i don't know what that means but  he's opening it up i'm super thirsty so   he's getting all the husk off  here just like that and then just chops up the top oh wow so he's getting off the second layer as well wow i didn't even know a coconut  looks like that on the inside   so there's kind of like three layers to it there's the the hairy bit and then once that's bit  there's the hard bit and then it looks like this and he waters it make sure it's all clean i'm pretty  sure you're meant to eat it right yeah because i think it ends up like  that all right let's see how yes all right he cuts like a square on the top just like that all right let's drink let's give it a taste test  everybody coconut here in lahore oah that is so fresh that is so good wow exactly what you need like on a hot day  here in lahore the sun is shining through oh wow that is so delicious so refreshing and the best   part is afterwards you have  to eat all the coconut inside ah that is so refreshing honestly very good and now we can uh now we can get it cut open into little strips just like those ones there america ney australia australia oh look at that it's kind of like sliced up evenly and then we  can get it to go we'll give it a taste test here let's try it a bit rip it off fresh coconut oh its hard all right it's a lot tougher than i was expecting  you really gotta like bite into it but it's really nice chewy  coconutty as you'd expect oh that's good let's save this for later  we'll bring it along for the journey   as we walk around the streets of lahore oh almost got run over all right fresh  coconut 300 rupees it's pretty damn tasty all right we're finishing up here i'm  gonna get a tuk tuk uh i know this is to   be a struggle explaining where i need to go
