Identifying the Rhetoric Persuasion of the text :

-Hey everyone, it’s Mark Wiens, and I just wrapped up a 16 day food and travel trip, but more than a
trip. It was an experience and a journey through Pakistan. We began our journey in Lahore, which is
an amazing city of history and food before continuing on to Gujranwala, Chakwal, Islamabad,
Peshawar, and then after Peshawar we continued to the North. The northern mountainous region of
Gilgit-Baltistan, which was incredibly beautiful, and from there we continued on to Karachi.

There are three main ideas or concepts that really stood out to me during my trip to Pakistan.
Number one, is the welcome and hospitality of people, and we were filming food video, so we were
going from restaurant to restaurant and street food stall, but there was not one day that went by
during this trip to Pakistan, where we tried to pay for the food, and one of the vendors would not
accept our payment. They said it would dishonor them if we paid them money for the food, and so
that was so heart-warming, and every single day people would come up. They would want to shake
our hands, they want to take a photo. They would just want to welcome us to Pakistan and say thank
you for being here, for travelling to Pakistan.

Number two is the food. And of course we travelled to Pakistan for the food. The food was
unbelievable, from karachis to kababs to niharis to piyas and all the street food in between. You’ll
find food everywhere and it’s so rich, it’s so flavorful. Food was incredible.

Finally, number three is unbelievable landscapes and the scenary of Pakistan. Especially when you
travel around the Gilgit-Baltistan region. The mountainous regions, the Karakoram Mountains and
the Himalayas. We travelled all the way up to the Khunjerab pass, which is at 16.000 feet, all the way
down to Karachi at sea level. And in between, you’ll find deserts, you’ll find mountain valleys. It’s
some of the most rugged, jagged mountain scenery and glaciers I’ve ever seen in my life, and I was
amazed by the scenery of Pakistan. I want to say a massive thank you to Ali from Pakistan Travel
Mart. He organized our trip, he helped with everything. We travelled with him, we ate with him. He’s
so much fun to hang out with and without Ali, it wouldn’t have been possible. So, huge thank you to
Ali for making this entire trip to happen.

And finally, I want to mention that Pakistan hasn’t always received the most positive impression, and
it has faced many struggles and conflicts. But recently and then in the past few years, Pakistan has
made huge, major improvements in safety and security. And for what it’s worth, I would mention
that on my 16 day trip, and we travelled pretty extensively through many regions of Pakistan, that
not even on one occasion, even in the major cities, even in the remote destinations, did I feel
threatened or in danger. And actually, it was the total opposite. People just walking along the
streets, random people, they wanted to shake our hands. They wanted to say welcome. They
wanted to greet us. They wanted to say thank you for visiting Pakistan. So I owe it to the people of
Pakistan. I’m so grateful for the opportunity that I had to visit. It was previlege and it was one of the
most memorable, one of the most unforgettable trips that I’ve ever had in my life.

And one more thing, my new favorite pair of footwear. Peshawari Chappals, with the thick soles.
Okay thank you so much ! Pakistan, it was a trip of the lifetime.
