holy shit
alright. Officially this is my first day in Indonesia and it's my first
morning and I'm in Jakarta Airport right now. I was here last night but I didn't
really get to see much except for the way to my hotel and the way back from my hotel
this place seems like a little bit fancier and a lot less crowded version
of DHAKA (Bangladesh), the city I grew up in. Although I believe Jakarta overall has a bigger population
About to take a motorbike to my hostel
just got to my hostel and check out the view from my balcony
so there's a long way to get to my hostel but I think there's a sho rtcut
which is hiking up here and hopefully I can make it with the ton of beer
they're showing me a way to get to the top which is supposed to go through all
of that and I don't think I'm gonna try to do that I'm probably on the wrong
track so I'm just gonna go around and go the long way
Don't hurt yourself
so after a disgusting amount of sweating I've reached the edge of the world
And I'm the first one to do it
look at that
female has a small head and a small body. Male more big
I wish they would respond to like, "Here boy!"
Where did the other one go?
hello so it's been a busy day so far. started off by hiking on Pulau Padar which
is the island with the beautiful views. Next we went to komodo island and you guys know all about that
and then we went snorkeling
I didn't really get a lot of good video of that. apparently one of my friends saw swordfish. I'm still not entirely
comfortable with the concept of swimming by myself in the ocean
But it was still fun. Drying up my swim shorts now on top of my boat and
we're heading to this other snorkeling spot which is supposed to be really cool and
it's supposed to have Manta Rays so hopefully I'll get some good videos of that at least
I don't know. what do they eat?
Probably not rice.
I assume there are not a lot of farmers down there
Manta! Manta
That was impressive
Congrats
so this part of my hostel is literally called the chill zone which goes really
well with what I'm doing today which is just chilling reading a book on my
Kindle because I lost the actual book at Jakarta airport
here kitty
well good morning world. this is unfortunately the last day that I'm
getting with this spectacular view to wake up to
but next stop is Bali so shouldn't be that bad
what's up everyone? thank you for watching this video. a little background
on this one. so this was my first few days in Indonesia before I went on to meet (up with) my
mom and family in Bali. I had a few days to myself and I wanted to use it to see
Komodo dragons. I grew up watching Discovery Channel all day so i was pretty
obsessed with Komodo dragons along with a lot of other animals my whole
life and I was thinking if I'm gonna go to Indonesia I have to go and see these
animals I didn't really know what else to expect from there I was just going
there to see a bunch of Komodo dragons chilling on a rock on some Island and I
was about to have my mind blown by how beautiful this place was. you know it's
really cool when you look up a place online it looks really beautiful and
then you go there and it's cool. I think it was even cooler though for me to go
in there having no idea what to expect and then coming across this paradise
that you called Flores and all the views. A short story: on my first day there I
just forgot to eat because I was so busy exploring this town and just checking
out the view and chilling with some beer I think it was around 8 or 9 p.m. when I
was having a few drinks with some friends at the hostel and I realized
that , "Oh crap! I haven't had lunch or dinner today I should probably make myself a
sandwich" that's how high I was on adrenaline the whole day the first day I
was there. the hike to Pulau Padar- I didn't even know the name of that place
by the way before I went there- and that was probably one of the top five, if not
top three, most scenic hikes I've been on my life. I strongly recommend going there
On my third day there I had the option of coming back to Bali a day early so I
could meet with my mom there, but I chose to spend a whole day to do nothing and
chill on the rooftop and just enjoy the view from my hostel. that is how
beautiful this place was I've never done anything like that before in my life
few tips for visiting Flores which you should really do if you ever end up
going to Indonesia. it's only a one-hour flight away from Bali
speaking of flights never expect the flights to be on time. I had I think ten
flights while I was in Indonesia and eight or nine of them were delayed by one or
two hours so keep that in mind when you're planning anything
if you're going to Labuan bajo and going to komodo and if you want to do a longer
trip out to the islands let's say two or
three days it might be worth it to plan that in advance. the plan, which people
usually do, is to go there and find a trip. I couldn't find one that was two or
three days because it was off-peak season and a volcano went off in Bali
and there are not a lot of tourists there. so if you really want to be sure
that you get to go on this two-day or three-day trip and if you have the money
to afford booking a trip online for a little bit more money go ahead and do
that. if you liked this video don't forget to 'like' (it), let me know in the
