#Karkhano Market (#Peshawar) is overflowing with relatively-cheap #British & #German merchandise; but despite the abundance of cheapness, local buyers are unimpressed; luckily, hunting/travel gear, kitchenware/crockery, etc. don't rot in blackout-ridden heat...but who can hike or cook much, with sky-high #IMF food prices?
How sad that, despite the poor economic conditions in the #UK & #Germany, #Paris was beaten out by (already-battered) #London?

Notwithstanding #DevelopedWorld distaste for linking "rich" problems with "poor" problems, since last year, #Peshawar #YouTubers have been posting repeated invitations to viewers to buy #Japanese, #Korean & #Chinese goods ranging from gadgets to garments in #Karkhano...but, given that the same goods are listed in every new vlog, could said brands encourage sales by being a little more committed to nullifying #IMF inflation-promotion in #Pakistan?
