0:00:17 > 0:00:18It's going to be epic.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19That's amazing!
0:00:19 > 0:00:24We'll take part in some of Asia's most spectacular and crazy events.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Like this New Year festival in Cambodia.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- You're gonna lose, love. - SHE CHEERS
0:00:30 > 0:00:33I said Team Inel. Team Inel.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35So, are you ready to go?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37# All over the place
0:00:38 > 0:00:39# All over the place
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# North, south, east, west On a bizarre quest
0:00:43 > 0:00:45# Me and my mates, all over the place!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd
0:00:48 > 0:00:51# Whatever we do is strange but true!
0:00:51 > 0:00:52# All over the place
0:00:53 > 0:00:54# All over the place
0:00:56 > 0:00:58# There's stuff to do in Asia that's totally ace
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- # And it turns up... - # All over the place! #
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Do you think we're actually going to see any pandas?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18If anyone was gonna see one, it's gonna be me.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Bet I see a panda before you do.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Joe, uh, why don't you cast your keen eye with these bad boys?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Oh, very generous. - Oh, I'm a nice guy.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Still can't see anything. - HE LAUGHS
0:01:42 > 0:01:45LAUGHTER
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Don't get upset, Ed, we don't want your panda eyes to run!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And anyway, everyone gets the chance to see a panda
0:01:53 > 0:01:55at the Shenshuping Panda Base.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Thanks to loads of conservation work,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00giant pandas are no longer an endangered species in China.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04However, with only about 2,000 of them left in the wild,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06they're not out of the woods yet.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And, of course... Oh, look at the cuddle flump!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I wanna give 'em a... Sorry.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14At this reserve, they work to protect these cuddly creatures
0:02:14 > 0:02:16and the places they live.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20And here's a gang of year-old babies to prove that plan is working.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I've never seen a panda before.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Oh, are they all right?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Yeah, they're just sleeping.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35It's fine, yeah. And these other ones are definitely moving around.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh, yeah. Look, he's eating.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38I'll give you three guesses.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Guess, guess.- Uh, bamboo?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- He won!- They like a bit of rough and tumble, don't they?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Yeah, I think they're just practising roly-polies,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48must be for gymnastics or something.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Who's playing with his toy on the seesaw?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You can tell they're one-year olds.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Oh, they're so cute! Can I take one home, Bobby, please?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- We could try.- No, don't do that.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Oh.- No. It would not go down well.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Do you think?- We can't get one of those on a plane, for a start.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08We could just put it in a suit and pretend it's a...
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Isn't it sad that this is one of the only places you can see them now?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- How comes?- Oh, cos all the bamboo habitat is shrinking.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- Ah.- Been cut down.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20But thanks to places like this, there should be a lot more of them.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Happy days.- Mm!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Now, Bobby, I've got a bit of a surprise for you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Guess what this is for? - Are we gonna fix their boiler?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32No. We're going access all areas.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34HE GASPS
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Well, this isn't quite the panda experience I was dreaming of.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We've got to clean up one of the cages.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Let's get stuck in. They make quite a mess, pandas.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45The poo is literally mashed up bamboo.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Tickles the nose a little bit.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You're quite good at this, Bobby.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- You done this before?- All the time.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It's very similar to my bedroom at home.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It all smells a bit pooey, doesn't it?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Anyone want to buy some pooey bamboo?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Oh, yeah! Put me down for two bundles, Ed.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Although pandas mostly eat bamboo, they are, in fact, omnivores.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Which means they can eat plants and meat.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14But, here in the Panda Base,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17they get a scrummy varied vegetarian diet.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20That's a lot of poo!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24You have to separate out the poo from the leaves cos they want to
0:04:24 > 0:04:27weigh the poo, check how much they've been eating.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29This is harder than it looks.
0:04:35 > 0:04:3823.2 kilos from four baby pandas.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40That's a lot of poo.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Panda's can spend up to 14 hours a day eating.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Weight loss could be a sign that a panda's poorly.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50So, at the Panda Base,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54they keep a sharp on eye them to make sure they're keeping healthy.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Meet Ping Ping, a hungry year-old cub who's about to get a tasty
0:04:57 > 0:04:59mid-morning snack.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03So before we can feed him, we've got to weigh him.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06We need to make sure the panda's healthy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Stay on the scales, stay on the scales.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10We've gotta weigh you.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- He weighs almost as much as me. - They're heavy, aren't they?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Aw, he's so cute!- Aw!- Aw!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26He's actually adorable.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Aw, look at those paws.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And more importantly, look at those claws.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Got to be careful.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Yeah, Ed, you can go first.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40There you go, there you go.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Yeah, I just fed a panda!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45A carrot, which I wasn't quite expecting.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46You like that?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51He wants another bit, doesn't he?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Here we go. Hey, buddy.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Want a carrot? There you go. Oh!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59There you go, mate. There you go.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Aw, bless him.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's crazy. When you're up close,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07you really remember that a panda's a bear.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- PANDA SQUEAKS - Bless, he's, like, squeaking.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12There you go.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16He's had a feast.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I mean, they are actually one of the cutest animals I've ever seen.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Amazing.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29You do just want to give him a big cuddle.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30And it would be a really bad idea
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- because they've got sharp claws and teeth.- There you go.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35There you go, buddy.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I'm afraid that's the last bit, we haven't got any more.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39There you go.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, we're all gone. All gone.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Nice meeting you.- I can't believe we just fed a panda.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- I know!- That was awesome.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Oh, what a life. Imagine being a panda for the day.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Hey, guys.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm Johny YOLO-Swag and you're watching
0:07:19 > 0:07:21the tastiest food travel vlog from

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Hi.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Welcome to the only food travel vlog worth watching.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36This is an amazeballs Indian
0:07:36 > 0:07:39version of ice cream called kulfi.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40It's creamier, like me.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Denser like...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I just can't get enough of it, like you can't get enough of me.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47But you don't have to tell me that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49But you if you want in the comments section below.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's popular all over India and beyond.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52And may even
0:07:52 > 0:07:55go back as far as the 16th century.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Give me a K, give me a U,

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Not only is it super tasty,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14because of its dense texture, it takes a lot longer to melt
0:08:14 > 0:08:16than standard ice cream.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18It looks so good!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I want to make it. If only someone would tell me how!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Hey, guys. This is a super exclusive private viewing of an actual kulfi
0:08:26 > 0:08:28actually being actualized.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yeah, not forgetting apple, strawberry, orange, and even
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- avocado.- My flavours are better.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Now, what flavour are we making here?- We're making malai kulfi
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- with saffron and pistachio flavour. BOTH:- My favourite.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So will you show us how to make kulfi, please?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16This guy rocks the kulfi. They call him the kulfi meister.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Do they call you that?- Of course.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Take two litres of milk. We're going to add cream.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Cream of the crop, just like my vlog.- Really?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yeah, of course, start pouring slowly.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Sugar. BOTH:- Sugar! - I'll do it. I'm the sweetest.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Yeah, whatevs.- Let us know who you think is the sweetest on our vlogs.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Then we're going to put in this mould. OK?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56And freeze it for six hours.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58So, wait. And it takes how long to cook?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- One hour.- One hour, then six hours.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Yeah, just keep the change. Just go away. Leave.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23And now I think it's time to share my work with my adoring public.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Kulfi anyone? Would you like a kulfi?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Kulfi?- Are you going to try the kulfi?

0:14:33 > 0:14:38Hello and welcome to the latest episode of the Hairy Hikers.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- We love hiking.- We love food.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- And we love being hairy.- We do. Today,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46we've hiked up to the gorgeous
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Nine Dragons and Five Tigers viewpoint
0:14:49 > 0:14:51in the Longji Rice Terraces.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54To cook some authentic Chinese rice.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Rice, the main food of half the world's population.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Oh!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05So first up, we need some special rice water.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Hey, there's a bit of mud in there, pet.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09No, that's a fine. That's fine.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Next, we need the rice.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16You know that China is the world's top producer of rice.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Why, I didn't know. - WHISPERS:- Shouldn't the gas be on?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Can you cook on gas?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Aye. I think there's a wee button here.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- No, I'm the cook.- No.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I do the cooking, you always do the buttons.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30No. Oh!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Dirty water and an unopened bag of rice?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36How did these two ever get their own cooking show?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Ah. Um.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Oh.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Um. That is how you cook delicious,
0:15:47 > 0:15:48- authentic...- BOTH:- Chinese rice.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50That's my line at the end.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Well, at least you did come to the right place.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58These terraces are made to hold water for rice to grow in.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00A nifty bit of engineering.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It grows up out of the water with the grains on the end
0:16:03 > 0:16:05of the stalks, and come autumn,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08the local Zhuang people get harvesting it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Pretty clever!
0:16:09 > 0:16:14But then, they have been growing rice in China for 8,000 years.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Stew and Boil,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20you have 42 seconds to find out as much as you can about
0:16:20 > 0:16:22the rice terraces.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Boil, you have Qiongzhi,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30one of the local Zhuang people who knows everything about the terraces.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Stew, you have Caimain,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36another Zhuang who knows all about the rice.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Whichever Hairy Hiker finds out the most facts is the winner!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44VOICEOVER MAN SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE
0:16:46 > 0:16:49When were the rice terraces built?
0:16:49 > 0:16:512,000 years ago.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54How many rice plants do you need to make a bag of rice?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01You need two square metres of plants to get a kilogram of rice.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Who built them?
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Our ancestors.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Is rice good for you?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Of course it is!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10How many terraces are there?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13There are over 1,000 terraces.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Can the rest of the rice plant be used for anything?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21It can be burnt to ash for fertiliser.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Where does the water come from?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It's spring water, from the mountain,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27and it rolls down the hill.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Can you eat rice without cooking...
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- KLAXON BLARES BOTH:- Oh...
0:17:31 > 0:17:33And the winner is...
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Boil!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39And your prize is to get a tasty portion of Hairy Hiker rice.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45Stew, as the loser, you get two portions of Hairy Hiker rice.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48After that delicious...
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Authentic.- Chinese rice meal,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53it's time for the other thing we do best.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Hiking.- Come on, lasses,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I'll race you down the Dragon's Backbone Ridge.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I hope it's not a real dragon, or a hungry one for that matter!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04We'll see you down there. Wait for me!
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I wouldn't be so sure you're going to beat the locals down the ridge,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12these Zhuang people spend all day climbing up and down the steep rice
0:18:12 > 0:18:14terraces, that makes them super fit.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I should have spent more time on my step machine.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Never mind Dragon's Backbone,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I can't drag my own backbone any further.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Man, where's a chair lift when you need one?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37This is more like it, sedan chairs.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Aye. We finally get to sedan!
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Brilliant! Look at this.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45"Wanted - sedan chair guides."
0:18:45 > 0:18:47"Must have good local knowledge."
0:18:47 > 0:18:50We could give up Hairy Hiking and be carried around like this all day.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54But we just got here, our local knowledge is shocking.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Aye, we don't even know why that's called
0:18:56 > 0:18:59the Nine Dragons and the Five Tigers.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It says here that the nine rice growing ridges
0:19:02 > 0:19:04look like nine dragons
0:19:04 > 0:19:08while the five tigers guard the peaceful village.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's called the Longji Rice Terraces because "it's a long way down, gee."
0:19:11 > 0:19:15No, "long" is the world for Chinese dragon.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Eastern dragons are friendly, lucky and powerful.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23And they transform into many other creatures,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26including humans!
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Wait, you don't mean you're actually a...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:19:33 > 0:19:36No, I'm not a dragon.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41But there are nine classic types of dragon, and they've got nine suns.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Nine is considered a very lucky number in China.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47You know what, I think our local knowledge is better than we think.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Let's be sedan chair guides!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54It's not what I had in mind, Stew,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58but at least we know what sedan chair guides are now.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00THEY GROAN
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Oh, away.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20The most epic battle in the history of humanity.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Two chosen TV presenters will settle this once and for all.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- One...- Two...- Three.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Ah!- Yay!
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Told you girls are better.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35# Sisters are doing it for themselves! #
0:20:35 > 0:20:37All right, all right. How about best of three, yeah?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Go on, then, go on. Here we go. One, two...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42DEEP VOICE: Enough of this tomfoolery,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45there is only one way to settle this.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Not an epic fight to the death?!
0:20:48 > 0:20:53No, instead prepare yourself for three ancient challenges.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57This is Angkor Sangkranta.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Hey, Inel, girls are still better than boys.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I can't believe they fell for that deep voice!
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Angkor Sangkranta is also known as the Khmer new year celebrations.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Angkor Wat means city temple in the Khmer language.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Which is maybe why people "khmer" to celebrate new year!
0:21:18 > 0:21:22They play girls versus boys games here for centuries,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24so perhaps it's time to answer the ultimate question...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Who's better, boys or girls?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30- I don't know, I'm sorry.- Ah!
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- You decide.- Well, we've been hearing this big booming voice,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37something about the temples of Angkor.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40What's that got to do with the games here today?
0:21:40 > 0:21:41You go to see the Angkor,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44and then you can see the inscriptions of these
0:21:44 > 0:21:46types of games within the stones
0:21:46 > 0:21:48over there, and this tradition
0:21:48 > 0:21:50has been held for long times ago
0:21:50 > 0:21:52and has been passed down from
0:21:52 > 0:21:54generation to the other generation.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Well, I mean, I think this looks a little bit advanced.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Do you have anything that is almost suitable for beginners, like Inel?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Definitely, yes. There are many other games around here.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You can see, we have classical dance.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09We have Khmer traditional dance.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Make sure that it fits you.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13As Som Ratana pointed out,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16the stone carvings in Angkor are over 800 years
0:22:16 > 0:22:18old and show lots of different games,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22including chess and the martial art of bokator.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26First up, it's a lovely game of hit the clay pot with a big stick.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Or as it's known in Cambodia...
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Competitors have blindfolded have three chances to break the clay pot,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36filled with talcum powder and money.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Good luck, guys!
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Inel is first up.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Oh! Shot one, near miss.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Oh! Shot two, even closer.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Smashing, Inel!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05That's what I'm talking about!
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Whoa!
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Let's see if Vic can beat Inel, not with a stick, though.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15OK.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Oh, close.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Oh, closer!
0:23:25 > 0:23:27OK.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Ah!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Oh, dear.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Here he comes, here he comes. - HE LAUGHS
0:23:36 > 0:23:38You were swinging, whoo, whoo!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43That's one for the boys.
0:23:43 > 0:23:451-0, Inel.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Next up, it's the ancient game of Mother Hen,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50or as they call it in Khmer...
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Victoria will be the Mother Hen and Inel will be the naughty hawk.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Let's see how they cock-a-doodle-doo.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Apparently, my task is I have to catch all the hens,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05but I have to start at the back and I have to catch the last one and go
0:24:05 > 0:24:08all the way up the line until I get to Vicky.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09She's the last one.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10So I think the gist is -
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'm the Mother Hen, these are my chickens.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I know they don't look a lot like chickens,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17but I've got to protect them from Inel.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18He's coming to get them.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22They'd better hold on at the back!
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Inel, the hawk, has to go the long way round to catch the chicks.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Got one chicken.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Good catch, Inel.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Mother Hen Victoria's tactic is to tire him out.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It's tiring.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Oh, no.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Oh, Vic's lost four chicks!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Three more to win.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Cheeky move there, Inel!
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's hot out there for the hawk.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06He looks exhausted.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Yay!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Winner! Whoa-whoa-whoa.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28I'm not sure if the hen won or the hawk flew back to his nest,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31but the score now sits at 1-1, a draw.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36It looks like the ancient Khmer like to draw on the temple walls.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41These are carvings of the ancient game of teanh prot, or tug-of-war.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44A game steeped in honour, strength and skill...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47and pulling a big rope as hard as you can!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's like a Cambodian sports day.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53So, it looks like the girls and
0:25:53 > 0:25:56boys are on the same team.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- That's nice.- Would you want to be on my team?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00No way.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02There's a technique to it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Feet planted, arms out,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08muscles ready...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Like that.- I mean, if that's your technique, Vicky,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12you're going to lose, love.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17We're going to win.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I said Team Inel. Team Inel. Say Team Inel.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I said Team Inel.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Team Inel.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Can you shout, "Away the lads"?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29One, two, three...
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Terrible!
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Oh, oh, a strong start from Team Inel.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Can team Victoria PULL this one back?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Team Inel. Team Inel!
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Well done to both of you.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13You know, you done a great job.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Today you entered the ancient games of Angkor Sangkranta,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19but there's got to be a winner, and the score of 2-1 it's Inel.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22That's what I'm talking about. One for the boys.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Yes! Oh, my knee, my knee...
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Let me help you with that - girls rule!
0:27:28 > 0:27:32You've been watching All Over the Place Asia!
