00:00Karachi, Pakistan the epicenter of hustle and bustle overwhelming yet beautifully chaotic
00:12streets and somehow everything just works when I found out that Karachi was recently
00:17ranked as the third cheapest city in the world I knew that the next episode of my $10 series
00:22was coming $10 is about 1400 Pakistani rupees join me and my friends to see how much we
00:29can buy if there's one thing I learned so far about Pakistanis they're very proud of their
00:46biryani an orangey yellow flavored rice dish with meat and super spicy it's always the best from a
00:53street food vendor Pakala is a popular local drink that I've never heard of until now it's like an
01:00ice cream flavored cream soda and it's really good when mixed with milk it's a combination of Pakala
01:05and milk which is quite popular in Karachi for dessert I randomly bumped into this ice cream man in the
01:17street impromptu ice cream because this gentleman came up on the street and I found out it's 20
01:22rupees which is like 10 cents oh dear how is it caramel a brown sugar Pakistanis often wear slippers
01:31instead of shoes so I wanted to get a pair to fit in
01:34I love seeing the men wearing the traditional hats around town so I decided to dive in and get one
01:54this is Peshawari camp so with the help of my buddy Daniel we negotiated the price down to 300
01:59300 rupees which is like two dollars this guy behind me just told me that it looked like a Khan
02:04which is a northern Pakistani guy with my hat on thank you the local buses in Karachi are the most
02:11colorful decorative and symbolic in the world and I can't come here without riding one I've seen the
02:20buses have these little like homes on it what is it what does it talk about it talks about something
