[Update]: After the third wave of COVID in Pakistan, the Sindh government is imposing a smart lockdown. New guidelines have been issued for it.

According to the order, marketplaces will shut down at 10 pm with the exception of medical stores, petrol pumps, etc. Amusement parks will close off by 6 pm and indoor weddings will remain off-limits. Cinemas, gyms, theatres, all indoor activities will stay closed even though in the past order, it was said that they will reopen by 15th March.

You can find the detailed clauses in the attached document. Until further notice, the smart lockdown will stay in place until 15th April 2021.

[Nov 19th, 2020]: The year 2020 has not been the most kind to the people of this Earth. It started off with the advent of a virus. It soon developed into something far more serious and the world was forced to go indoors. New habits were made and new normals were set. It became an everyday thing to always wear a mask outside the house. Pakistan saw the first wave hit with quite a lot of pressure.

However, due to the right amount of precautions and procedures, we made it through with less of a toll. Now, with the second wave said to be approaching fast, the government has decided to take some more precautions. The cases are higher than ever before and the winter effect had amplified it. In light of recent events, the Ministry Of Education has proposed to shut down educational institutions, yet again.

The Second Coronavirus Wave

The second wave of the pandemic picked up around September and October. Cases saw a sudden spike in everyday numbers. The numbers were higher than they were in the summer, and they were not coming down. This gave a hint that maybe there was a need to implement stricter procedures. Even in the United States, the severity of the second wave was much higher than the first one.

Pakistan had a more significant issue to deal with besides the pandemic too. Due to a lot of the labor force being on daily wages, entirely shutting down the country was not an option. Pakistan had to deal with the virus and poverty. Schools and Colleges were shut down; classes were shifted online.

Shutting Down

Now, the Ministry Of Education has decided to close down the educational institutions yet again. Their decision states that schools are to be closed from November 24th. They will reopen after 31st January. Even then, the situation of the virus would be evaluated before opening.

Primary schools are to be closed from November 24th, with Middle schools from December 2nd and Secondary High from December 15th. They have also recommended that Matriculation and Intermediate exams be held in June 2021. This decision is taken with the hint of hope in attempts to slow down the spread of the virus.

Moving Towards The End Of 2020

As the end of the year approaches, the Ministry Of Education also stated an extension. The extension was to extend the academic year till May 31st. Pakistan has reported 37 Deaths and 2800 cases on Wednesday 18th November 2020. It is quite a wise decision to shut down educational institutions. Many of the workloads can be handled online, and any lab work can have students coming at intervals. What must not be done is to have gatherings of students inside labs.

Beyond the educational institutions, the government has also ordered the closure of wedding halls and banquet ceremonies. Not more than 300 people are allowed to attend, and that too with masks. The concept of smart lockdown is seemingly again in view as December approaches.

We hope Pakistan can ride out the second wave with the same amount of smoothness as the first one.

Tesla Raises Prices Of Four Of Its Electric Vehicles

Elon Musk’s electric cars’ prices are on the upward trend, and it appears the billionaire is looking to become a trillionaire. Will he be the first one to achieve this status?

Four Vehicles’ Price Raised

Electric-vehicle major Tesla has increased prices on four of its models. The electric cars’ website shows that the price of its Model 3 Standard Range Plus has been increased by 1.4% to $37,490 from $36,990. Secondly, the Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel-Drive now costs $46,490, up 1.1% from $45,990.

The third price raise was for Model S Plaid Plus, which moved up $10,000, or 7.1%, to $149,990 from $139,990. Lastly, Tesla also raised its Model Y Long Range 2% price, or $1,000, to $49,990.

The raise itself is minimal, ranging from 1.1% to a maximum of 2%. However, when you consider the prices, to begin with, the increase is substantial.

Why The Increase?

Car enthusiasts are questioning why the increase is being witnessed now. This is especially the case because last month, Tesla cut the base models of its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. 

Moreover, according to automotive news, the company lowered the prices for its Model 3 in Japan in February. This was also an unpredictable move considering the market was a highly competitive one.

Last Thursday, the standard model’s base price was cut fully 16% to 4.29 million yen ($40,500) from 5.11 million yen. On the other hand, the long-range version saw an even steeper drop of 1.56 million yen, or 24%, to 4.99 million yen. 

Tesla – The Market Leader

Automobile analysts have been calling the company “the global leader in the EV market.” 

The analysts are saying that Tesla remains the leader in “one of the fastest-growing global markets.” This market is the one for electric vehicles, which is expected to grow at about a 30% compound annual growth rate through 2030. 

Analysts have also noted that Tesla’s model, “similar to Apple’s vertically integrated model,” drives innovation and pushes manufacturing costs lower. Then why the price raise?

Would You Invest?

Considering the market for electric vehicles is only beginning to gain popularity in Pakistan, would you invest that staggering amount in Tesla? More than anything, Tesla has become a symbol of wealth. There was a Mercedes or, at best, a Rolls Royce to distinguish yourself in the olden days. Nowadays, it’s a Tesla!

Ali Zafar Replies To A Fan’s Marriage Proposal From Netherlands

Ali Zafar is coming in people’s dreams as their husband and being proposed to. It’s the funniest (and most relatable) thing to come across!

Question and Answer Session Turned into Proposal

Ali Zafar tweeted to his fans to have a question and answer session. A fan named Cynthia R. Sitara did not beat around the bush. She had one question to ask and she popped it!

Bhai’s Response?

Ali Zafar’s response was extremely characteristic of him: hilarious and direct! He had to turn down his fan but he did it with a sprinkle of humour because we hope you understand!

Bhai (Har Jagah) Hazir Hai?

A Portuguese fan of Ali Zafar apparently dozed off for only 15 minutes and ended up dreaming the most hilarious of events. In her dream, she was married to none other than Ali Zafar and envisioned herself as his wife.

She, surprised and amused, took to Twitter to let the star know what effect he has on people. It seems her lucky stars were all coming in order because the real Ali Zafar – not the dream one – also noticed her!

Not Too Happy With The Translation!

When fans saw the translation of the girl’s tweet, hilarity ensued. Many started joking about how they had either been in the same position or would love to be in one.

Another fan shared the translation with Zafar after he asked for the “tarjuma”. 

Fans’ Reaction

Zafar is known to interact and engage with his fans routinely on his social media profiles. This engagement was particularly funny and so, many fans hopped on board to have a good laugh. Here’s how people were reacting.

Why Engaging With Fans Is Important

All celebrities also adopt a different persona on social media. Some are just as open and carefree while others lead a posed life to be it in terms of posting or interacting.

However, it has generally been noticed that those celebrities who interact with their fans have a higher engagement. Their fans follow them and engage with them more in the chances of being noticed.

The benefit of that? More brands want to endorse that celebrity then. Greater engagement means greater audience and reach which means more partnerships. Hence, if you ever become a celebrity, don’t forget to chat with your fans!

Santex

PAKISTAN, Karachi, 12th March, 2021: Santex Products Private Limited, a leading name in the personal hygiene care industry in Pakistan, has signed an MoU with Sindh Prisons and Correctional Services Department (Government of Sindh) and Committee for the Welfare of Prisoners- Legal Aid Society (CWP-LAO), to improve the access of menstrual products to female prisoners in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur & Larkana.

Adequate access to safe sanitary products has always been a struggle due to the shame and stigma that surrounds periods. The situation is even more unsettling for the incarcerated women whose menstrual needs largely go unmet due to lack of resources.

Santex Products through its Butterfly Outreach program has been donating monthly supplies of sanitary napkins to the prisons to ensure accessibility of necessary menstrual hygiene products for inmates. Awareness sessions are also being conducted on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) to educate female prisoners about the importance of safe feminine hygiene practices. The MoU with the Sindh Prisons and Correctional Services Department and CWP-LAO is a further extension of these efforts on a formal ground.

Speaking about the importance of this partnership, Ms. Rodrigues, Marketing Lead Santex Products, said, “We believe every woman from any walk of life, should be able to go through her monthly cycle with dignity. Access to menstrual products is a challenge for most and we are happy to see our joint efforts with CWP-LAO and Sindh Prisons Departments will result in better access and personal hygiene awareness for the female inmates”

Inspector General of Prisons (IGP) Sindh, Mr.  Kazi Nazeer Ahmed shared that this partnership initiative is an avenue to promote healthy recreational activities for inmates, also resulting in their improved mental health. It will support to secure improved rights for menstruating populations in prisons through ensuring improvement in the knowledge, attitude and practice parameters related to menstrual health of prisoners and prison staff.

Speaking on this signing ceremony, Justice (R) Nasir Aslam Zahid, Chairperson, CWP-LAO stated that “incarcerated women are less likely than males to have outside financial support and they do not earn enough from in-prison jobs to pay for necessities quantities are often limited and not always available when needed. it will be easier to ensure more visibility of the excellent work carried out through this partnership by Santex Products and the Sindh Prison Department, thus to improve confidence and self-esteem among the women inmates and the initiative will also help reduce anxiety amongst them.

Santex Products’s Butterfly Outreach Program aims to transform cultural attitudes, as well as break down barriers for women in the most practical ways, by helping them achieve their basic rights.

 

Sri Lanka Announces Burqa Ban & Shutting Down Of Madrassas

Sri Lanka

After France, Sri Lanka is following suit. It will be banning Muslim women from wearing a burqa. Aside from that, they will also be shutting down more than a thousand Islamic schools. The announcements were made on Saturday by a government Minister.

Srilankan Minister announces Burqa Ban

Sarath Weerasekera, Minister for public security, brought up the conversation in a news conference that because of the burqa, the individuals have their faces covered. And it is becoming a hindrance to national security. So, to tackle this, Weerasekera signed a paper and sent it to the cabinet for approval.

The minister said: “In our early days, Muslim women and girls never wore the burqa. It is a sign of religious extremism that came about recently. We are definitely going to ban it.”

Sri Lanka and extremism 

Srilanka, the Buddhist majority nation, had banned the burqa once earlier as well. This was a follow-up to when there were church and hotel bombings in 2019. The bombings killed 250 individuals.

The news hints at further extremist policies of Sri Lanka. In the past, they had given the order of cremating the fatalities of COVID-19. This goes against the Islamic values and hurts the Muslim Srilankan’s sentiments.

Various human rights activists spoke up regarding that. In conversation with a publication, one activist, Shreen Saroor, said that these moves come “at a time when the Muslim community has been constantly targeted. It’s part of the Islamophobic reaction in Sri Lanka.”

Following this situation, people in India have started demanding a burqa ban now.

Considering the burqa is worn by Muslims, is this another nation’s way of pushing the Muslim population to only the Muslim majority countries. Is that not going to create a divide between different religions?

4 Dangerous Side Effects Of Drinking Too Much Coffee

coffee high dose

Caffeine is often believed to be an incredibly healthy beverage given that its ingredients can boost metabolism, stabilize moods, and alert a person. However, too much of anything has always been undesirable, and it’s the same case for coffee! Have too much, and the same ingredients work against you. Here’s how:

1. Caffeine-Induced Anxiety

coffee high dose
Image Source: Caffeine Informer

Caffeine is known to promote alertness in a person by blocking the effects of the brain chemical that makes you feel tired. However, simultaneously it also releases adrenaline in your brain, the hormone associated with increased energy. At higher intakes, these effects become pronounced, leading to anxiety and nervousness in a person.

This has also been proven medically given that caffeine-induced anxiety disorder is one of four caffeine-related syndromes listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association.

2. Induced Insomnia

coffee high dose

We get it; almost all of us, be it a student, a parent, an employee, or whoever, we have all had coffee to say awake because it genuinely helps in doing so. But too much caffeine can actually reverse that and make it difficult to get any sleep at all.

Medical studies have found that higher caffeine intake increases the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. As a consequence, it can also decrease the total sleeping time. By contrast, low or moderate amounts of caffeine don’t seem to affect sleep very much in people. This means coffee won’t disturb your sleep as long as you take it in a controlled amount!

3. Digestive Issues

Image Source: Psycom

People usually opt for coffee also because a good morning cup can get the bowels moving. Coffee has a laxative effect, which is courtesy of the release of gastrin, a hormone the stomach produces. Moreover, caffeine also stimulates bowel movements by increasing peristalsis, the contractions that move food through your digestive tract.

However, too much caffeine can lead to loose stools or even diarrhea amongst people. As aforementioned, the good qualities of caffeine are only best reaped when taken in a controlled amount.

4. Addiction

coffee high dose

It is addictive. We know that we have experienced it, and we have witnessed it. Medical studies have proven that coffee triggers brain chemicals, similar to what drugs do. Though it does not cause the type of addiction drugs to do, it creates a psychological dependency or even a physical one. Again, as a cause of high dosages.

The moral of the story then is: have coffee every day but make sure you are having coffee, not the other way around!

Toyota Fortuner Facelift To Go Through These Changes

Toyota is among the most known brands in the world. It has quite a lot of vehicles operating in Pakistan and many new ones are on the way. If you have ever heard of a Toyota SUV, some names must come to your mind. In light of that, today we tell you about some Toyota Fortuner facelift changes.

Even today, Toyota vehicles are some of the toughest ones to ever hit the road. The Corolla is still considered as a robust car. Its variants from the 90s and early 2000s still bring a glisten to people’s eyes. As good as they are in manufacturing sedans; they have dipped into the SUV domain too.

A Toyota jeep from the 1980s can still run high and mighty, with the folds of time barely scratching it. Toyota Fortuner is yet another SUV that is quite popular these days. So what is the news?

Toyota Fortuner and Design
Image Source: carscoops.com

A Fortuner For Us All:

If we look at how well the car has evolved, we may be left with a shock. A vehicle that recently came into the light has had its run of the track. Apparently, it has become short on the market! The diesel and two petrol variants of the older Fortuner models seem to have been sold out. Due to this, Toyota has decided to open booking for the new facelift ones at Rs.30 Lac payment intervals.

This scheme is sure to attract even more people to the automobile market. It will not only boost Toyota way beyond its competitors, but even leave the audience with a dropped jaw. SO why don’t we dive into the details of the facelift? We know that the variants are going to be three, one diesel and two petrol ones. Additionally, there are going to be a lot of improvements to engine power, with better performance and increased functions.

The New Facelift Variants:

The facelift of the Toyota Fortuner is expected to come with some changes. The Diesel Sigma and V Grade petrol are set to have a new and improved front grille. They are also going to have revised bumper designs, rear LED lights and new alloy wheel design.

If we talk about the G grade Toyota Fortuner, it will also have similar changes. However, there may be some minor differences to differentiate between standard and high-end variants. All of this seems like quite a new age for the vehicle. There is much to be seen as we hear more on it.

Toyota Rising Higher:

The Fortuner has been one of the most popular and favorite vehicle of the people here. You cannot go more than 10 miles and not come across different types of the vehicle. The writer of this article even has a friend who owns a Toyota Fortuner and claims that it is worth the investment.

Apart from the facelift changes, the variants are also set to have increased fuel efficiency. This is expected to be as high as 4 percent.

It can make your smooth coverage look textured. In summers, sweat can cause the skin to look more oily. Hence, you need a waterproof foundation.

Unlike before, Pakistan now has a range of options available when it comes to Foundation. Previously, brands made their products for a limited number of skin colors. However, after a lot of criticism from activists and media, international brands have started making foundations for a more diverse skin color range.

Netflix Is Doing Raids On Shared Password Accounts!

Netfix and password sharing

These days, one of the most engaging activities is browsing online. This can include books, articles, movies, and TV shows. Additionally, watching shows with friends is one of the best recreational activities these days. However, it seems that Netflix is going all-out on users who share their passwords.

Online entertainment platforms

Binging movies and TV shows is one of the most relaxing things one could do these days. This activity became much more common in 2020 when the pandemic hit. Everyone was forced indoors and people turned to alternate means of entertainment. Around this time, Netflix introduced a new feature. This was the one called ‘Watch party’. It allows different users to log in together and watch the same media on their own screens. It was like watching a movie together, separated only by distance.

Netlfix and cracking down

Binging Hard On Netflix

So what are some of the best features of Netflix? Firstly, it allows the user to skip parts of the episode by cycling through the seconds. It also offers to skip the intro and credit sequences that people are often found doing. But of course, many people are known to share Netflix.

If the account is meant for three screens, three screens will be able to use Netflix simultaneously. Due to this, users often share their passwords with their friends. This is so friends may be able to watch some content whenever the original user isn’t using it. This became quite a norm ever since Netflix took a rise.

Cracking Down On The Users

It seems that Netflix has been doing some raids of its own these days. They are coming down quite hard on the users who share their passwords. As it turns out that people buy accounts and even if they have chosen the three screens options, they share passwords with more people. So now, if a fourth person tries to watch, while all three are active, they will not be able to play. Apparently, users have also received messages generated in front of them that say:

‘If you do not live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to continue watching.’

Since people are used to sharing passwords across different regions, this can be quite a hindrance. Now, you may not be able to use your relative’s account from the US.

Netflix seems to be running a lot of tests on how to get users to prevent sharing. Millions of users share their passwords so it will be quite a difficult task to manage this. Amidst everything, they may just block genuine nonsharing accounts too. It is similar to when nonhacker accounts were being banned in CSGO.

Cracking down by Netflix

Despite so much password sharing, Netflix is still at the top of the food chain. With more than 200 million users under its belt, it will take more than sharing to topple its crown.

6 Ways To Maintain Your Detox Program

After a full-on detox, it can be tempting to hang up your sports gear and tuck straight into some fatty foods. But adopting a few good habits can help maintain the positive effects of a detox program for longer. These simple solutions can even be followed long-term as part of a healthy lifestyle!

It can be hard to know how to ease a squeaky clean body back into a regular regime. These simple rules can help detoxers feel the benefits of their hard work for longer.

Eat at a fixed time and never after 10 pm

eat-at-a-fixed-time

Your body will thank you for laying down clear points of reference. Try to take lunch and dinner at the same times every day, don’t skip meals and avoid eating after 10 pm. An earlier dinner gives the body a mini fast until the next morning.

Drink plenty of water

water-lead

A big glass of water first thing in the morning re hydrates the body and helps it flush out toxins. But don’t stop there — keep drinking all day long to reach the recommended 1.5 to 2 liters of water.

Ditch carbs at dinner

no carbs

The body doesn’t need a big boost in energy before going to sleep! There’s no point loading up on carbohydrates (pasta, rice, potatoes, etc.) right before bed, as the body will tend to store the excess energy.

Don’t eat fruit with meals

fruits

Fruit is great for breakfast or for snacks, but when eaten with a meal it raises the level of sugar in the blood, increasing a meal’s calorific load. Plus, the acidity can lead to digestive problems in the intestine for some people.

Get 6½ to 8 hours’ sleep per night

good-nights-sleep

It’s important to get enough sleep — but not too much. Sleep is essential for keeping the body healthy and balanced, and for regulating metabolism and appetite.

Choose the right oils

Pix+omega-3

Opt for rapeseed oil or olive oil, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, known for their antioxidant properties. Avoid palm oil, which is high in saturated fat, and sunflower oil, which is mostly made up of omega-6.

No matter how much time goes by, we can never forget the length of the ‘Fast And Furious’ franchise. They started back in the early 21st century and is still going! If we are talking about cars, why not mention the Hub Rally about to take place?!

Balochistan is about to host one of the biggest rallies of the year. It is going by the name of ‘Hub Rally ’21’ this year.

Something Big Is Headed!

So, what happens in a rally? People, from all over, bring their vehicles and showcase them. Imagine it to be an auto show but with running vehicles instead of stationary ones. Now, every vehicle requires coverage. One needs to keep track of them in case they are the subject of adverse factors. Falcon-i is the new tracking partner of Hub Rally ’21. We all know how important it is to keep an eye on our vehicle in our day to day lives.

Falcon-i, being the largest private fleet management company, accompanies the use of state-of-the-art technology in it’s operations. They offer services that range from fleet control, satellite tracking as well as logistic optimization. When it comes to automotive movement safety, no one does it better!

Additionally, Country Head Sales of Falcon-i, talking about their partnership, said,

“Falcon-i is proud to be the tracking partner of this mega annual event. Every year we see Pakistan’s top off-road racers come to Baluchistan to showcase their skills. As the country’s largest privately-owned fleet management company, we’ve always worked to make it easy for our customers to monitor and manage their vehicles, so they can stay focused on what matters to them the most. Becoming a tracking partner in this event has raised its level.”

Start Your Engines

Now that we know the tracking partner, let us also inform you who is organizing it. Toyota Highway Motors is the one responsible for putting all this in place. Without them, we may not even have such a rally in place. Since the location is Balochistan, you should be prepared to face some robust off-road vehicles and impressive power under the hood.

The Hub Rally is set to take place on 13th and 14th March, 2021, at Gadani Beach. If you ever wish to turn your head away from the rally, there is always the beach to look forward to. We hear they are particularly calm at this time of year. So put on your seatbelt, shift into gear and stay primed. There is much to be seen, much to be felt.

Another Automaker’s Cars To Be Introduced By Sazgar

Sazgar and BAIC new deal

Among the many brands operating in Pakistan, there lies one with secret plans. It means that they have yet to reveal what they intend to do. It seems that Sazgar may come up with interesting news soon!

Like any other brand, Sazgar has worked hard to be where they are. They did not achieve their success overnight and deserve to be commended for their work. Sazgar is the same brand that releases vehicles by BAIC. BAIC is a name which became quite famous in 2019. Everyone wanted to know what it was and which vehicles were they releasing.

However, the entry of a pandemic sent the company reeling back. It was reportedly not heard of from ever since. Now, what we know is that BAIC is said to release new cars in the second quarter of 2021. Alongside this, we have another news from Sazgar.

Sazgar new deal with automaker

China And The Automobile Era:

China is becoming more and more known for automotive production. Not just this, but they are bounding forward in other industries too. Talking specific to automobiles, we saw the release of Changan Alsvin just recently. It got so famous that the booking now seems to be full. It truly may just be Pakistan’s most affordable sedan. Now, it seems that Sazgar has signed a new deal.

Alongside the BAIC deal, Sazgar Engineering Works Limited (SEWL) has another deal on the way. It is yet another Chinese automaker, but they haven’t revealed the name yet. This leaves us guessing as to which brand it could be. There are so many emerging Chinese automakers, it still remains to be a surprise.

Sazgar Going Diverse:

This new automaker deal tells us exactly what the heading suggests. Diving into more different areas of work shows diversity. People want to work with and buy into companies that are diverse. It shows a willingness to adapt to change.

Sazgar is moving forward with a brisk space and not many can challenge the way it works. BAIC got greenfield status and they shut down for a 2hole. In 2021, this may not be repeated and two brands may enter at the same time. Both will come under Sazgar but with different varieties and degrees of vehicles.

Futuristic Potential:

The deal signed with this anonymous automaker, leaves a lot of room for potential. It can only boost the Pakistan auto market higher. Pakistan has seen nothing but good news in terms of new vehicle brands and this is yet another one. Who knows, maybe we will get to see more and more vehicles everyday. Maybe a year from now, Sazgar vehicles are more common than the current titans.

We hope that this signed deal does not bring any negative impact to the company. We all want to see automotive companies succeed, especially in this country. Sit tight and watch closely as we try to get you more news on this. For now, we must find comfort in the fact that we may be getting newer brands of vehicles soon.

5 Cheapest Places To Travel For University Students

I understand that you may want to travel to Turkey or the USA or Canada the moment you can, but these trips definitely don’t come cheap. And I also get that traveling domestically does not have the same thrill as does foreign trips. Being a university student I would recommend that you look for some cheapest places to travel.

Keeping that in mind, I have created a list of 5 places that, I can assure you will be filled with scenic visuals. The plus point is that your mom won’t throw you out of the house when you tell her about the money you spent. Win-win, right?

1. VENEZUELA

Venezuela is in South America. My first interaction with it was when I got to know that Venezuela houses the world’s TALLEST slum. Yes, you read it right. Also known as the Tower of David. But other than the slum it is also known for its scenery.

2. VIETNAM

Vietnam is ridiculously cheap I swear. So let’s say you are a backpacker. In that case, you should have like around PKR 5,000 in your wallet a day. And you are good to go. Places like Ha Giang, Tam Coc, Phong Nha are places that one should never pass on. And did you know that Phong Nha is known for its longest caves? And you should try local food that will keep your budget in check. Clean hotels are available for $10 a day so that’s amazing too.

3. COLOMBIA

From PKR 5,000 to 10,000 daily you can have a really great trip regardless of how long you are staying there. Because one thing is for sure you will not get tired of the beauty it presents. The city Medellin is known for the tallest palm trees. So travel at affordable rates and of course have fun.

4. MOROCCO

Morocco is affordable, beautiful, and remains beautiful. It has traditional hotels with gardens and courtyards and the streets are always buzzing. Just know that salesmen pester you a lot so steer clear of them.

5. CAMBODIA

Keep around PKR 1,000 for your daily meal. Obviously choose hotels that give breakfast. And if you choose hostels, well they are available for $3 to $10. For transportation, if you are getting a motorbike (which I recommend by the way), you can get it for $15 for a day. But haggle a little, haggling is always fun. And most importantly, the sim card. If you don’t keep your parents in the loop your mom might just get a ticket for herself and follow you get a sim card with data to keep them updated.

There are many more cheapest places to travel in the world that you can visit. But take proper measures with COVID still in the air. Follow SOP and find clean hotels. The point is we have to persevere through these times but the show must go on.
