hello there from Felix's beautiful second home here in bogor
some of you guys might remember this place I came here last year with Felix and he showed me his
little compound here his little I don't know soon to be retirement home well that might be a while
but eventually we came out here last year around this time actually and he was showing me his place
quite a bit has changed since then last year when he took me out here
he hadn't been out here in two years so since the beginning of covid he just kind of left it as is
out here and so when I came out here with him you know it was the first time in two years and
so as you can imagine it wasn't in the greatest condition but since then he says just about every
weekend he comes out here and you know works on little small projects here and there and yeah
it's a huge improvement from what it looked like last year
uh just needs to be repaired huh yeah we want to change this with wood ah it's a good idea yeah
oh wow but they're still under construction here yeah for example this roof right here
and this patio over here is all new he built a little room back here
that is new and so all this wasn't here a year ago and so let me show you what it looks like inside
much better than last year I mean it was just kind of junky last year because well
that's what happens when you leave a place for two years this is all new
the bathrooms were here but I think they were just outside they weren't in clothes like they are now
he built this little room over here which he's kind of made into uh like a TV room
and maybe you'll put a computer over here but this is kind of the uh I don't know the
cinema room you can come in here relax watch a movie and uh yeah enjoy yourself he actually
you know it was very selfless of him he worked on the guest area first and he's doing stuff uh
at the at the front of the place and the the room and the house that he sleeps in is this one right
here and he says he's kind of you know saving that for last because well he when people come
here he wants them to feel welcome and and to feel comfortable so he went ahead and and renovated and
made this area nice so when people come here they feel comfortable and so yeah this area over here
I mean it still has the same bamboo porch and Patio over here which he says is getting really
old and he's going to replace that I'm sure with something nice yeah and then I think they'll start
with the renovations on this house later on uh one thing that is not here anymore is the chilled out
bamboo area over here the little uh pug nut Pagoda the Gazebo that was over here that kind
of hung out over the river that's where we hung out last year drank some coffee and chilled out
I think the river took it maybe the river sometime last year flooded and
and uh sayonara to the little gazebo but still got the fish pond here he's got the gourami looked like
goldfish in there but uh it's the gourami, I had gourami at his restaurant a couple days ago
how have you been Felix it's nice nice busy this is my buddy yeah look at that that looks
incredible so basically you've got the whole fish and Fry all the meat and then put it back on the
fish that's what it looks like oh yeah that's the way to do it that is the way to do it and this is
type of fish is a gourami which is a fish from Southeast Asia I don't
think you're gonna find this in America and then here we have kangkung
thank you
that I love it you don't have to worry about bones you can just dig in
is this a circle this guy knows what he's doing that so good thank you you're welcome
so freaking good and so he Farms his fish here and then he cooks it at his restaurant
in Jakarta which thank you guys who watched the video from last year watched the the
watering videos and went to his uh wadding in Jakarta and said hello to Felix he said
a few of you guys went out there and uh paid him a visit but this is just really
nice over here still got a lot of work to do I mean this is kind of falling apart but again
you know he's just little by little little by little he's uh fixing it up and I'd say he's on
the right track it's really nice really nice let me go show you the front over here if you remember
there was a lot of aquariums over here and um yeah just kind of like I said junkie but he hadn't been
here in two years but they're working on this he's turned it into somewhat of a game room
what are they doing today
oh taking out the bamboo you can be careful
nice nice yeah so he put this big pool table in here and uh we were playing pool yesterday
and there's a few times there's an angle where you know you just like the scene in Seinfeld where you
don't have enough room and you're trying to you know make a shot you're doing one of these numbers
so he's cleared it up and uh maybe taken out the windows over there so
you're not you're not blocked yeah by the wall for the airflows and the airflow to
make it cooler in here and Felix do you want to come with me over there
yeah let's go over there and so the side uh area two looks completely new
and so maybe you can share what you've done over here you took out all those blue cylinders right
yeah so last year all those blue tarps that are over there now were way over there and what were
they used for the fish yeah yeah before this is like a thing but I changed my mind yeah
I would like to plant like the vegetable and everything need for my room and also I breathe
in here for the pigs gourami uh you know and then over there this is a small one and will
become bigger okay and then now you can mix the water perfect and so what are you growing
over there now oh well my way the price which is uh this is for sambal you know chilies yeah
chilies okay so you're gonna mix it and also for kamani yeah and then more bigger
um yeah okay yup we got plenty of space plenty of land yeah a lot of yeah it's uh extra time
and extra energy to make this one like this oh I imagine yeah a lot of hard work okay
I love your your coconut tree here I'm not a problem professional farmer so
I I don't know about how to plan for kangkung so this is the kangkung so I just
did Growing I still [Music]
okay good for growing um well I guess you uh you live and learn it's a learning process
is a extra food for the gourami you know because gourami actually only eat it like
what you call carnivore carnivore yeah what carnivore eat meat oh no no I heard it before
herbivore herbivore so they only eat plants yeah yeah yeah and then this is still not enough
yeah you planted all these uh trees just for the good it's also over there
it's not enough well it's not enough for all the fish you have yeah even more
and so what do you do you just you P you cut them off and you cut them in small pieces yes yes yes
yes uh I've got this got this and travel to the other water and do you have do you have to cut
it until you know this is after the gourami oh okay like this oh so you don't have to cut it
they just eat yeah a little bit by a little bit yeah a little bit by a little bit interesting yeah
okay yeah this is such a cool coconut tree okay after you uh you know whatever there is
a coconut there yeah if you're thirsty you can climb all the way up there and
if you fall down it's okay you land in the water safe yeah uh you get to go first Felix
