تدريب Shadowing: The Afghanistan Nobody Expects in 2026… I Was Shocked 🇦🇫 - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

Afghanistan is one of the most dangerous countries on the planet.

For women, some of what I've discovered here has been shocking.

But the Taliban are not just restricting women.

Music has been pushed out of public life, dress is controlled, and traditions are under pressure.

Yet Afghan culture has not disappeared.

So for my final film, I went looking for the Afghanistan that's still holding on to it.

And it brought me here to Bamiyan.

We're starting in Bamyang Bazaar and we are going to be buying some food

because there is a very special lunch that's going to be cooked for tomorrow.

Tomorrow we are meeting with a local family and we're going to have a really nice lunch.

Oh, my head just hit the chicken.

So we're getting enough chicken to feed everyone so I can't concentrate now.

Knowing times are really tough, I wanted to make sure the lunch wouldn't cost this family anything

so I'm picking up all the ingredients and they'll take care of the cooking.

Hello, how are you?

I'm good thanks, how are you?

I'm fine, nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Where are you from?

I'm from London.

London?

London.

Oh great.

How about you?

Good.

I am, yeah, and then I say, It's all happening here, you see?

There's any life out there.

And what's the name of the dish we're doing tomorrow?

Koloji.

Koloji?

Yeah.

Koloji?

Am I saying that right?

Yeah.

They're laughing at me.

Chicken tikka.

Yeah.

This is the spice.

So they mix it with the chicken and keep it at least for like 12 hours and then they cook it.

I see.

May I have a look around this supermarket because it looks very interesting.

Let me see it looks quite quite extensive.

Let's have a look at this extensive supermarket.

Oh what have we got around here?

Oh the sweets, these guys like these sweets, look with their chai.

I've noticed that.

We've got dates, what else have we got?

Oh look the dried mulberries.

In every corner of this supermarket there's like a different smell and I can smell very strongly the tea leaves here.

These kind of thermos flasks remind me so much of Afghanistan

and we have green tea in them and we take them up mountains and then we have our tea It's really nice.

They look like Pringles but they're not.

They're called Jacka.

Jacka.

Pop and you can't stop.

They got everything.

I almost thought that was vodka.

See Nutella's made it here.

Do they have iced coffee? Is it?

Could I try it?

Do you mind?

What's it called?

Coffo.

Coffo coffee.

Latte.

Latte for.

Yeah right into the wagon into the beast mobile oh my goodness look who it is!

How are you?

Zio is lovely to see you!

Zio was my driver in 2024 and he is the son of my now driver Coco.

Tell him that I think his dad trained him well.

Oh that's not bad, that's pretty good.

I like it.

I thought it was all about the green tea here.

I like Kofo.

Right so this is our hotel.

Salam.

Yeah, in we go.

Hello.

This is nice isn't it?

Salam!

It feels very calm in here.

It's very relaxing.

I like what it's spaces.

Oh wow, oh it's lovely.

Is it okay?

Yeah it's great.

Oh it's really lovely thank you very much.

Thanks everybody.

And the bathroom in here.

Let's have a look.

Yeah.

Oh it's perfect.

Look at that.

A shower and a toilet and a sink.

I love it.

Now you can't come to Bamiyan and miss visiting the Buddha caves.

They date back 1500 years.

100

There were two huge upright Buddha statues.

101

One was 55 metres tall, the other was 38 metres tall.

102

In 2001 the Taliban at the time blew them up.

103

This guy here is senior Taliban governor Abdullah Sahadi and he's not the sharpest tool in the box.

104

He recently told the BBC he helped destroy the Buddhas because idol worship is not allowed in Islam.

105

However, had he actually read the Quran, he would know that it explicitly commands Muslims not to insult or curse the idols that other people worship.

106

It's also one of the biggest own goals the Taliban have made

107

because this place would have encouraged thousands of tourists per year.

108

I told you they aren't the smartest.

109

So I'm stood at the base of the smaller of the two Buddhas and this one was 38 metres.

110

What we're going to do now is we're going to go inside and upstairs

111

and then apparently we can walk along to the other one.

112

Hopefully it's cool inside, Mohamedjan.

113

Yeah.

114

How many steps are there?

115

Do you know?

116

Only 200.

117

Actually, don't tell me.

118

I don't want to know.

119

I don't want to know.

120

How many steps is that?

121

This one?

122

Yeah, how many?

123

Maybe 15.

124

And you said 200.

125

Yeah, 15.

126

They're probably about a foot deep, aren't they?

127

Oh my goodness.

128

Please take one big joke.

129

Oh, I don't know, should we do it right by the edge?

130

Bit scary.

131

Camera failed, wait a sec.

132

Yeah, it's fine.

133

Hang on, don't we just clean your lens a bit?

134

Your lens is a bit dirty.

135

Okay, sorry, I've done it again.

136

Sorry.

137

Alright ready?

138

Do you want a bit of the view?

139

Alright ready?

140

He's very dark.

141

Wow!

142

Look at that, 1500 years old.

143

So there's some colour left behind.

144

Oh, it must have been amazing.

145

Wow!

146

All these little rooms!

147

What's this in here then?

148

Not a cave, maybe they put a door to keep it like...

149

Look, more caves in there.

150

Wow!

151

We did a lot of steps up and down in there, and at high altitude I can tell you it felt like 20 ,000, not 200.

152

Now, alarmingly, the darkness here alerted Mohamed Jahn to the fact that the exit door down those steps was locked.

153

So we are locked in, but Mohammed -jan's made a phone call

154

because I definitely don't want to go all the way back up along and back down again.

155

Tasha call.

156

Tasha call.

157

That is very much appreciated.

158

Thank you, Tasha call, Tasha call.

159

Can you imagine if we'd got all that way and not been able to get out, I would have been horrified.

160

just as well you've got the hotline the hotline to this

161

guy i i don't know what i would have done

162

if you'd said whoops i'm gonna try a restaurant in bambian

163

called i honom what does it mean my column is like

164

a moon lady moon lady moon lady she sounds very nice

165

i think the the chef is a The chef is a lady.

166

That's why it's called Moon Lady.

167

Well, I should imagine the food will be fantastic.

168

These guys don't look like moon ladies though.

169

My nickname is Mom, but my full name is Mom Mom Mom Mom.

170

It's called Mom Mom Mom.

171

It's American isn't it?

172

Mom.

173

Maybe he is putting on a wrong t -shirt.

174

I think the t -shirt might be for his mom.

175

Oh, smells good in here.

176

We are here really early but that's because we've been getting up really early

177

and having early dinners so it's empty at the minute but it will be packed later.

178

Just taking a little look, I've noticed the weather in Bamyang can change, it can turn on a sixpence and it was really hot this morning.

179

Look at it now.

180

Proper storm brewing.

181

Look at that.

182

What tea is this then?

183

It is saffron tea.

184

I haven't had saffron tea yet on this trip.

185

Saffron we grow locally in Herald.

186

Oh you grow it in Harat.

187

Brilliant.

188

Here you go.

189

Oh it's fresh isn't it?

190

Yeah it's very refreshing.

191

I'm looking here at Zio.

192

Come on, come on.

193

So we've got Zio and Zio's dad, Kaka.

194

Come on.

195

Now, we are looking at their faces to see what the similarities are.

196

Can you smile?

197

I think it's their smile.

198

It is.

199

It's the smile.

200

Different eyes, I think.

201

Different nose father and son both absolutely lovely

202

looks like a boxer yeah did he break his nose yeah did he how did he break his nose

203

What was he doing to break his nose?

204

She should do it again.

205

I was a kid, I was a kid.

206

He used to fall over a lot? Did he?

207

Really?

208

Yeah.

209

He's pretty good.

210

He's very good though.

211

Remember archery in Nuristan?

212

He's very good.

213

He obviously became coordinated later in that.

214

He was good.

215

He's doing arm wrestle with Rahmat.

216

It's good, it's strong.

217

Because it's early here, we are just going to have a snack.

218

So we're just going to go for some local delicacies, probably Arshak, Mantu, my faves.

219

And they're throwing in a Bamiyanian, Bamiyanian?

220

Bamiyanian?

221

Bamiyanian speciality.

222

Got the sauces.

223

Ooh, a lot of bread.

224

Yeah, it smells really good.

225

I can't wait to try this.

226

I really like Arshak.

227

I think it's my favourite.

228

Oh, this is interesting.

229

So this is the Bamiyanian one.

230

Yeah.

231

Ah, so it's like bread.

232

It's got onions on top.

233

Bread, butter and onion.

234

Karuchi's nice.

235

Yeah.

236

Very creamy.

237

It's famous.

238

It's really tasty.

239

Yeah.

240

I'm surprised.

241

I don't normally like yogurt things, but it's actually, it's really tasty.

242

It's quite sweet.

243

It's very creamy.

244

I like the onions on top.

245

They give it a bit of depth.

246

That's a nice dish.

247

Oh, I love Arshak so much.

248

Oh shucks, really good.

249

I like that.

250

Delicious.

251

I really like that.

252

After dinner I headed back to the hotel for an early night.

253

The next day it was time for that special lunch I'd bought the ingredients for earlier, with a family I've been supporting for over a year.

254

Their father died suddenly last year, leaving four young children behind, and life became incredibly difficult.

255

With the help from people on social media, I was able to raise money to help with food, and now I wanted to see how they were doing.

256

They'll need support for some time yet, so any help you can give would mean a huge amount.

257

You can donate through Revive Afghanistan.

258

The link is in the description below.

259

I can see some familiar faces.

260

Hello!

261

Hello!

262

Nice to meet you!

263

Nice to meet you!

264

Hello!

265

Hello!

266

How are you?

267

Yay!

268

How are you?

269

I'm very welcome.

270

Yeah!

271

Oh, you're welcome. So, I have just, the kids are just getting used to me

272

and I've brought them some little gifts from the UK

273

which I thought would be nice so we're now going to see what they make of them.

274

I bought some pencil cases and stationery from the shop Smigal in the UK to help with their studies.

275

Last year when I'd heard about how sad they were I decided to try

276

and organise for a local teacher to go to their house

277

and give them some lessons at home including English lessons and this has been a major turning point in their mental health.

278

I got to chat to their teacher.

279

At first when they lost their father they were really good.

280

But then I appreciate them and they became more resilient and they started to try hard and study their lessons.

281

Yeah, that's so good.

282

So they're a lot happier now basically.

283

Now we have a special lunch here.

284

This is the time to eat the food called Remind Me.

285

Colohi.

286

Colohi.

287

I can't say it.

288

Colohi.

289

Yeah, Colohi.

290

Okay, so the chicken's been marinated in the spice.

291

Can I see?

292

293

So lots of different packages here.

294

And it is enough for 20 people.

295

296

297

298

299

301

Bit like a volcano.

302

Wow, look at you, Mohammed -chan.

303

Yeah, I'm doing it.

304

It's like 20 times in a year.

305

It's great, isn't it?

306

It's a bit like a tree, isn't it?

307

Very dusty.

308

I didn't expect it to go like that.

309

Did you just break it down?

310

That's brilliant, isn't it?

311

Is this the big reveal?

312

Yeah.

313

336

He's just so cute.

337

Hearing the kids laugh absolutely made my day

338

and I hope I can keep supporting them until life feels a little more secure.

339

Then it was time to head back into Bamyang for something completely different.

340

In Bamyang there's something really special and that is a women's market.

341

Wow.

342

Oh hello cutie.

343

Yeah Afghan now?

355

356

357

Maybe I could buy a bracelet from her.

358

These are beautiful, right.

359

I like the natural stone of them.

360

I just see.

361

Aren't they lovely?

362

So this lady here was saying that, oh I like these,

363

that times are hard at the minute and that is because of all the walls you see that are surrounding Afghanistan.

364

it affects business quite a lot so we need the world to calm down

365

so that these people can get back to earning money again She has a question for you Yes,

366

certainly You are already from I am No,

367

it's good, it's good English I am from London in England Inglistan Inglistan, yeah, Inglistan London in Inglistan Yeah Yeah,

379

Bye bye.

380

How are you?

381

Good.

382

Oh you have a beautiful shop as well.

383

Do you like working here?

384

Yes, it's a very amazing job.

385

Yes, and where do you get all of your things from? From women.

386

The women.

387

Oh, the women in Afghanistan?

388

Yes.

389

In the local area, in Bamiyan?

390

Especially in villages.

391

In the villages.

392

That's fantastic.

393

These are handmade.

394

Maybe if I could take a green scarf, because I've been looking for a green scarf.

395

Yeah, it feels very soft.

396

What is Bamiyan like as a place to live?

397

We are free.

398

I like this.

399

Yes, it feels different here.

400

Bamiyan feels different.

401

Yeah, from other moments.

402

Yeah, you're lucky.

403

We are actually relaxing.

404

Good.

405

And I have to say, the scenery, the views are,

406

I think, some of the best in the world here so beautiful I absolutely love this so soft right Tashukul bye Hulefez

407

chatting to the ladies here basically what they're saying is

408

that each shop run by a woman then buys things in

409

which are handmade most of the time from their own village

410

so it's not just the women that you're seeing in here

411

that you're supporting it's like it's all of like 10 -15 in their village at home as well

412

so it's a really good initiative so if you come to Bamiyan come here

413

and buy some things and help support these women.

414

For my final stop in Bamiyan I wanted to go back somewhere really special,

415

a village I'd visited in 2024 that became one of my favourite memories of Afghanistan.

416

But before I went I had one important job to do, pick up a few gifts.

417

We're walking through the very busy market, all sorts of things in here, there's shoes, there's food, there's clothing, there's toys.

418

Now we've got a range of ages haven't we?

419

These are nice.

420

Why don't we get some of these? Are they good?

421

Put them in as well because they can't be that much.

422

Hair clips and cars.

423

Nothing like gender stereotyping.

424

$8.

425

$8.

426

Let's just have to take the bag.

427

Yeah, let's take the bag.

428

Hello.

429

Everybody's coming up saying hello here, very friendly.

430

I don't know.

431

I don't know.

432

I don't know.

433

Tell me about it.

434

Basically this is about $13 and we're going to get the balls, we're going to get the hair clips and we're going to get the cars.

435

That's cool.

436

Right, we're going.

437

So one of my fondest memories from my entire trip two

438

years ago was visiting a local village here where there were kids flying paper airplanes.

439

459

Say to him, it's really nice for me to see him again.

460

462

It's got the biggest paper airplane competition going on in the whole of Afghanistan.

463

Ready?

464

Let's go.

465

Let's see if it's like Concorde.

466

I got those socks out.

467

468

1, 2, 3

469

So now we're going to try as best as we can

470

471

Come on, she has the money Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've got the addition this side Yeah?

What's your show?

473

We almost achieved it but Walid was missing as he was herding goats.

474

He arrived as we were about to leave so I took a photo and left a promise to do some photoshopping.

475

I really hope you've enjoyed seeing this side of Bamiyan.

476

And if you can help me continue supporting the family you saw earlier, please donate whatever you can, small or large, through Revive Afghanistan.
