so I just wanted to show you a little bit around our new room here in ubud
good morning today we're going to take a taxi to ubud but now we're at sanur which
is a similar sort of distance to the airport here in bali up to you but there
are a number of options you can jump in a regular blue taxi or Bluebird taxi
that might be a little expensive uber don't really operate here in
Indonesia but there are two competitors To uber that is grab and gojek I hadn't
come across gojek before is particularly Indonesian as far as I know but it's a
fantastic service you can order food you can order shopping online there's so
much you can do with it but most of all you can order the little scooter bikes
or taxis for four people or six people so smaller or large taxis
very much the same as grab I'm going to have a look this morning what's the
difference between the price if I decided to get a grab taxi or a go jet
car from our hotel here up to the louvered and just make a comparison I
think they might be quite similar but a bit interesting to have a look so there
you have it in this instance go-jek is working out cheaper it's a fantastic app
you can actually download this in your home country and have a little practice
with it it seemed to work for me in Australia anyway when I was having a
look at it so you can you can sort of drag the map around and calculate some
some journeys before you even come here kojic is a fantastic app it's not
sponsored at all I'd never heard of it before I set off to Indonesia we've used
it to order food to our hotel room super cheap maybe two three dollars a dish and
somebody delivers it straight to your door it's a great app grab also is a
fantastic app I've used that all over Southeast Asia I will leave links down
below to the apps if you want to check them out you can go directly and
download the apps so this is the taxing the cojocna Sentra
and this driver is going to take us all the way up to a wood so that's cool
hello can i film okay how are you good what's your name Amy and you Amy yes
Steve Amy so first time to Indonesia oh
this this Australian hat yeah yeah this is my or Z hat so often but do you know
the weather in Ubud is a bit cooler so
the way there might be a little cooler we will see and we change our mind we
actually were going to go to the islands to news channe nega-chin again but I
decided not it's it's very touristic a bit hot yes yeah so we change plan all
nice Twitter nice DK one DC we will be here for maybe one month hello how are
you
t-man
come on Galu nannies the Balinese Christmas and it was a couple of months
ago do you eat a lot of food okay so that's why they have two Christmases
Galu Moonen is it the same name every 210 days so it's different every every
years different time so Kalinin is celebrated every 210 days and it's it
can change because there are more than 365 days in one year so it can change
each year yes interesting fascinating and the reason I was asking this is
because I don't know if we can see on the road whatever these and your venue
job
coconut Malaysia and then some decoration on so the covering the whole
of the bamboo bit of tying the grass
to wrap the whole the bamboo in the gold or yellow
can i hold
you can see down here hold the bamboo pole it's covered in the gold and then
they'll continue to decorate the pender with banana leaves just make it look
really beautiful this is gonna stand outside every house in this suburb for
one of another word everybody that belongs to this temple for the
celebrations opinion will hang and often you'll see pendular hanging that have
been there for a long time maybe from a previous celebration so they're getting
old maybe and weathered but initially when the phret when the celebrations are
fresh you have the beautiful colors the vibrant colors now here dad has all the
little strips of bamboo this is for tying up and then this knife here now
this is a Balinese knife you see them using it it's honed on one side so just
on the one edge is very sharp has a beautiful wooden handle and this is this
will have done a lot of work over the years so throughout the day dad is gonna
be the father of end gong it's gonna be decorating the pannier and
the little lane on the side of the house dad has gone and bought out some of
these fronds would they be cured fronds
the bosses
and he's cutting shredding them down stick them down the middle with another
night a different knife
and he will tie these on to the pen door so he tied them on with their strips of
bamboo and eventually you're gonna have this this beautiful almost like a flag
or a pennant that hangs outside the front of the house now that's a bigger
version of this knife and you see because the the blade is honed on one
side so there's just one plane one angle on the knife it makes it really good if
you're using that sort of knife for cutting or trimming the edge of bamboo
or something like that because it would if the two sides are planed if they come
like this then the tendency for the knife to go into the wood rug and just
pull the wood away very similar to when you're using a wood plane no that is
tying on the grasses okay now he's weed this round we're just applying it round
for your notice case you can see there that he's actually leaving the one of a
better word the wings or the belief go it's gonna add a lot of volume to the
Pender
oh hello
thank you
so all the time that is working here still better put up with the traffic the
bikes coming through now he's doing a second
twist for giving it more volume
okay so we're arriving in ubud this is a bird I will just film a little bit in
so how far is our hotel from here maybe 15 us fight okay few minutes
come on keep on it really pass Monkey Forest there's a Main Street to the
center so it looks pretty busy
still looks touristy lauda tourists
got interesting so this is Amy Amy Amy drives with one hand she drives very
well with one hand I'm gonna put her information below on the video so you
can contact Emmy when you come here if you need a very friendly sweet driver
and we can show you around she also does a tour service so she can take you
around for the whole day the details we have arrived at wines place so it's cool
and you taught me one new word so thank you yes we are not sure how long we're
staying with we're planning each day so this nice is a courtyard hello how are
you so I just wanted to show you a little bit around our new room here in
Ubud it's really beautiful actually the beds huge the air-conditioner is lovely
and cool the paintings on the wall these beautiful paintings here are actually
painted by the father of the family of this hotel they're staying in the front
so I just met the father very briefly and he does all these paintings they are
quite amazing so it's a nice bathroom clean and open shower a bit of a rain a
rainfall shower there which is a nice change so it seems you can get really
good value hotels or guest house in here in Oakwood as well so we're quite
pleased with this at the moment we're just staying a couple of days we might
extend it a little bit longer they've even got adaptors in the wall
