I genuinely think that Sunny has surpassed Bourdain and I'm a massive Bourdain fan (books and shows). But Sunny is kicking ass and taking names.
Respekt!

Welcome to Afghanistan, Sonny!
It truly means a lot to us that you chose to visit our country. I'm a big fan of your work — the way you explore the world through food, culture, and human stories is inspiring.
Afghanistan is a land of deep diversity — from its ethnic groups, languages, and traditions to its food, landscapes, and history. Every region here has its own unique flavor, style, and soul. You’ll find things that might make you smile, others that may sadden you, and surely a few that will surprise you.
We’ve been through long years of conflict, but the Afghan spirit of hospitality, resilience, and warmth is still alive. I hope this journey brings you unforgettable memories, eye-opening experiences, and heartfelt moments with the people.
Wishing you a meaningful and safe trip — may this visit become one of your most cherished adventures!
Oh, and just a friendly reminder — try not to make too many jokes about our people or our country. We love humor… as long as we’re not the punchline! 😉
Safe travels and much respect!
With respect and appreciation,

7:27 Soni wants to avoid red bandana attention
7:52 Continues with the red bandana
Just the best Soni things🥳✨
Great and enjoyable video, next level job… "I am dying for food…" makes more sense now
16:57 "Hey, watch where you point that thing!" 😂😂
Oh God, cock fights ?? That's so medieval…. Pretty embarrasing 😂😂
Sonny love you from Europe, sorry but I guess you are NOT that important!
I'm a Muslim and let me clarify, what the Taliban are doing in Afghanistan is sinful and utterly wrong in the Islamic pov, you don't restrict education, you make room for it, you don't force man/women to obey something (Religion is not to be forced upon another, God's words in the Quran). You don't' prohibit women living their life and growing in education, what these Taliban are doing is a sin! and twisting the meaning of what Islam stands for. They are extremists, they don't represent Islamic values. Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Afgha, and some other Islamic nations are filled with extremists, while countries like present day Saudia, UAE, Qatar are not. Don't get me wrong, there are good people living in such countries, but there also some not so good.
