with a local from Peshawar and a couchsurfing friend we went to the Karkhano market AKA "smugglers bazaar! sorry this is s bit of a mish mash of clips, but my memory card somehow became corrupted and i took it somewhere to try and retrieve the data but there was only so much he could retrieve....i lost a lot of data sadly.
this market was huge with everything under the sun for sale, a few years ago it was a huge place fr goods smuggled across the nearby border of Afghanistan. As you can see Viagra and similar meds are quite the thing here, apparently people come from all over to get things from here, if you dont see what you want, just ask and they will get what you want.
a little further up we crossed the border into the "tribal Area" which has its own laws and hash os openly sold in little shops lining the streets.
as you can see we went and paid a visit to one of the hash shops, i asked the owner several times about hiding his face on you tube but he was adamant that there was no problem and wanted me to show his face! really funny guy...but the hash trade is still booming here..i didnt go too far as the night before one of the tribal police told me to go back...the pakistan police saw mw go over the border and were fine, and even chatted and took selfies. quite an interesting place but not for the faint of heart.... but worth a visit just to see the place...i wasnt the only tourist there, maybe the only woman though lol... i DID have full permission to post this on you tube!!
