🇵🇰 Pakistan is a very hospitable country. The first time you come here, it kind of blows your mind: how can almost everyone in a country not want to take money from "guests", whether it be for food, for water, or for stuff you're buying at a market? It's very hard for an outsider to comprehend, because at least for me growing up, I always wanted to work, save money, etc. The Pakistani perspective is very enlightening.
Now, with filming these videos, I've been getting a lot of comments recently, mostly from foreigners who don't understand the culture, saying that I should insist on paying, even after they have refused 2-3 times. But these people don't realize how difficult it is to actually pay, and also the fact that it starts to get rude when they refuse 2-3 times, but I continue to ask.
However, there is something known as "paying it forward", where you take the money someone refuses, and give it to the next person who really needs it. So that has become my motto in Pakistan. Although sometimes I can't pay people, I will always be taking that money and giving it to someone who needs it more, such as a rickshaw driver, a different shopkeeper, etc.
On that note, enjoy the video.
