7:48
500 years old so amazing it's the seventh largest in the world up to 100,000
7:54
people can fit in here this is stunning I wanted to be able to come to this place for so long I can even tell you how good it feels to be in here This place is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen I can just imagine 100 people all fitting in here
8:19
So amazing. The Sun is setting all around here as you can probably see and it's one of the
8:30
gorgeous sights I have ever seen. The light is reflecting on all of the
8:34
beautiful marble, eagles are flying around and this is perfect
9:00
Thank you
10:00
I think this has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever been
10:10
I've been walking around this place for a few hours just taking it all in watching the
10:15
sun set beautifully behind here. It's just sitting behind it and I feel so lucky
10:23
So amazing. the Bad Shahi mosque and that was so amazing
11:00
But by the mosque is the new food tree and as you can tell, look at all these buildings
11:08
They have all of the old ones here, but look at these colors. And just behind here, they are shooting a movie
11:56
The End oh
12:18
no is it okay i'll have a side okay everybody i have just met someone very very amazing you
12:28
You probably have already seen her amazing videos online. But let me just introduce you to... Hi
12:35
It's Rosie Gabriel here. And yes, I ride bikes and I make fun videos
12:41
Yes, you guys have probably already seen her incredible videos online. She is an incredible YouTuber, incredible filmmaker
12:48
and has spent an amazing amount of time here in Pakistan. I am just very grateful to meet someone who loves Pakistan just as much as I do
12:56
It's so, so amazing. A lot of people have a misconception about safety here in Pakistan
13:01
What has your experience been like as a solo female traveler? And I think I have a very unique perspective on that because I've actually ridden 11,000 kilometers across the entire country
13:12
So I've been in every single situation and scenario you can imagine where my bike is breaking down
13:19
I'm in rural areas. I don't know where I'm going. So pretty much as vulnerable as you can get
13:24
and in all honesty uh i was just met with so many incredible people who just wanted to take care of
13:32
me and and help me and not once you know i've been traveling for many many years and even if i'm in a
13:40
place you know how like it's it's strange as a female so like you don't even get that idea that
13:47
people want to take advantage of you or they're looking at you in a bad way they look at you like
13:52
sister they respect your personal space in your bubble which is very important
13:58
and there's just such a genuine kindness to the people here as you've
14:05
experienced and it's no different for a female I've had a very unique experience
14:12
getting invited into people's homes and just yeah it's I never felt threatened
14:20
in any way i never felt like my safety was jeopardized and i always felt complete faith
14:25
uh in each of the people that i met here yeah that is so so amazing my experience is also
14:31
you guys have watched the videos have been so so amazing there's a huge sense of just universal
14:36
love here in pakistan for everyone who comes here and what would your advice be if someone
14:41
is watching this who wants to come to pakistan and it's slightly nervous about it what would you
14:45
tell them come with an open mind and even more so an open heart so when you
14:52
meet the people this is kind of a general rule that I have with energy is
14:56
the energy you put out is the energy that you're gonna receive so even no
15:00
matter where you are in this world that that rule kind of applies so if you meet
15:05
someone if you're thinking oh you know they're gonna hurt me or if you have any
15:08
sort of fear in you this is what you're gonna project out so all I can say is
15:13
just come with the most enthusiasm and just like excitement to see amazing things and just open
15:20
your heart up to the possibilities and you'll just be amazed and once you get to experience that that
15:27
raw um human connection uh you'll just it will change change you change your perception and
15:36
you'll see for yourself yeah yeah amazing i don't think i've ever been to a country where the people
15:41
are so authentic i think that's the right word right where no matter who you come across it's
15:46
just people are authentically kind and they don't expect anything in return it's all because they
15:50
are just amazingly good people right yeah i love pakistan so much pakistan zindabad
