I had heard a lot of things before arriving in #Pakistan — both good and bad. Basically, all the people who had been here before told me that it’s amazing, and ironically, the ones who haven’t been told me to be careful about terrorism, kidnappings and random acts of violence. Well, after spending the past 48 hours in the bustling, chaotic and joyful city of #Karachi, I am stunned by how safe it is on these streets and how hospitable the people are. Seriously! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been invited into small shops or homes for a cup of chai. Everyone wants to share a smile and take a selfie, and tell me “Welcome to Pakistan, my brother.” — Huge thank you to my two buddies @daniyal.sheikh1 and @azlanshahofficial who got me into their country and are showing @deannasallao and I around. I will be staying up all night editing 3 videos that we’ve shot, and I can’t wait to show you!!! Have you ever been to Pakistan? Do you agree or disagree with my thoughts?

Drew seems to have a great time in Pakistan and he’s also amazed at the 100 rupees (0.71$) head massage he got while having ‘chai’ on a street. He also uploaded a video on his YouTube channel about the things that he got under $1.

Salam from #Karachi, #Pakistan! Country #162 and so excited to be here 🇵🇰 Many things have surprised me so far about this bustling city, but none more than the 100 Rupee ($0.71) head massages on the street! Literally, we were all sitting and drinking chai while this guy comes up and gave me a great massage. I’ve been overwhelmed with hospitality from @daniyal.sheikh1 and his friends, and can’t wait to see more of this country over the next 2 weeks. Do you have any tips for what we should do in Karachi? Please comment below!

On the Pakistan day, Drew posted a picture on his Instagram and claimed that he has never received better hospitality in his life than Pakistan and Iran.

Truth be told, I’ve never received better hospitality in my life than in #Pakistan. Along with #Iran, Pakistan is the world’s most misconceived and misunderstood country. If you’ve ever been here, then you’ll know. Happy Pakistan Day!

Did you know that Karachi is the 5th most populous city in the world at 24 million people in the greater area? The streets of Pakistan’s mega city feel something like a cross between Delhi and Dhaka, with its own unique blend (hello lassi and biryani!). I’m really enjoying this place so far and I can’t wait to show you these videos! 🔥🇵🇰 Check my IG stories to get a sneak peak of what’s to come
