0:00:02 > 0:00:04Are you ready for an amazing adventure?
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Then join Ed Petrie
0:00:07 > 0:00:08and his CBBC mates....
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- Smack it, bruv.- Yes.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13..on a bonkers and brilliant journey around...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Asia. Asia. Asia.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18It's going to be epic.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Whoa! That's amazing.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21So, there you are.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Let's do this.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25We've got loads of brain-boggling facts to tell you about.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27One of my favourites.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Can I watch it?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30You're in it.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32And take part in some of Asia's most spectacular
0:00:32 > 0:00:35and craziest events.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36How far's the sea?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I'm coming to get you!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40So, are you ready to go?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42# All over the place
0:00:43 > 0:00:46# All over the place
0:00:46 > 0:00:47# North, south, east, west
0:00:47 > 0:00:49# On a bizarre quest
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# Me and mates all over the place!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd
0:00:54 > 0:00:56# Whatever we do is strange but true!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58# All over the place
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# All over the place
0:01:01 > 0:01:03# There's a lot to do in Asia that is totally ace
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- # And it turns up... - All over the place! #
0:01:11 > 0:01:12India.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Delhi.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Ostralundrius!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Oof! - Oh, do get up, Mr Spotter.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Professor Snipe, sir.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26What are you doing in India?
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I'm here to educate you, so come on.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Get up.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I think Gary Spotter and Professor Snipe are a long way
0:01:37 > 0:01:40from Hogwarts today.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Where are we, sir?
0:01:41 > 0:01:46This is part of the largest spice market in Asia, the Khari Baoli.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Started in the 17th century.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Some of the same families running it then are running their shops today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52What is spice, sir?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Come, Spotter, even muggles know what spices are.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58They're the aromatic seeds and parts of tropical plants
0:01:58 > 0:02:00used to flavour foods.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Have you never heard of coriander?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Cloves? - What, like this?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07No, not clothes, Spotter, cloves.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Now, your potions class task is to find three of the spices listed
0:02:11 > 0:02:13on this card.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Now, go, Spotter!
0:02:16 > 0:02:21I don't think they'll need any magic to Spotter some spices around here.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It's full of the stuff.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Excuse me, is this turmeric?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Ah, yes, turmeric.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30One of my favourites.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32It can often be found as a yellow powder.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37It's used in Asia for sweet and savoury dishes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Try it, Spotter.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm not sure about that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44It tastes yellow.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47You may be keen to know that turmeric is also used
0:02:47 > 0:02:49as a treatment for eczema.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Is eczema a spice, sir?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Of course eczema's not a spice, Spotter!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Off you go, there's more to find.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Is eczema a spice?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Thought not.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09What do you mean you've never heard of the Spice Girls?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You're a spice trader!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13That's how it works. They were huge in the 1990s.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Look, you take that.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17You listen to that. You'll enjoy it.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18It's rather good.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20And if you like that,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24maybe you should check out the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's a spice-related music joke, guys.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Guys?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Oh! I think this is the... - Cardamom.- Ah!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Well done, Mr Spotter.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Small green pods.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37It's also one of the most...
0:03:37 > 0:03:38HE SNEEZES AGAIN
0:03:38 > 0:03:40..expensive spices in...
0:03:40 > 0:03:41the world.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's also the cure for...
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Sneezing, sir? - Well, obviously not, Mr Spotter.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50It's the cure for hiccups.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Sorry, sir.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Ugh! I think I prefer it in curries.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Would you like a hanky, sir?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Or some antihistamines?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08- Boo!- Agh!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I sneezed myself to Timbuktu, but now I'm back in Delhi.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15You know, India's by far the biggest spice-producing country
0:04:15 > 0:04:19in the world, but funnily enough there are more Indian restaurants
0:04:19 > 0:04:20in London than there are in Delhi.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Oh! I think I've found some saffron, sir.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Well done, Mr Spotter.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Saffron comes from the crocus flower.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31You need two football pitches worth of crocus flowers to get even
0:04:31 > 0:04:33a kilogram of saffron.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mr Spotter.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39No, it's very bitter when not cooked,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and 20g of saffron could kill you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I think I'll stick to pepper, sir.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Pepper? That too is a spice.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Three spices! You've done surprisingly well.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Now, do you have my reetha?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52The butternut.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Is this for some sort of experimental potion, sir?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01No, Mr Spotter. It's for an experimental shampoo
0:05:01 > 0:05:05which I use to help keep my hair so very, very shiny.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11And it could maybe help with your Hogwarts, too.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14We hope you've enjoyed our magical main feature.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Next up, it's NastyChef.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Chef Ed's Yorkshire pudding milkshake hasn't gone down well
0:05:24 > 0:05:25with the judges.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Oh, ugh!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, these taste so boring, my tongue's having a kip.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Uh...
0:05:31 > 0:05:35THEY SNORE
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well, they want me to spice things up a bit,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39so that's exactly what I've done.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Oh, not him again. I'm still chewing on that disgusting milkshake.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46BREAKS WIND
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Oh!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Get your taste buds around this.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54And don't worry, guys, cos it's a curry, it's full of Indian spices.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58This time, Ed has made a turbo tikka masala.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Ooh! Popular dish, chicken tikka masala.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06One in seven of every curry sold in the UK.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10But this looks like a right dog's dinner.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Oh, thanks.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14That's not a good thing, you ninny!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It might be a bit hot.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Ooh.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21You've not been shy with the cumin, chilli, turmeric and coriander,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24have you? How is that...?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25I knew you'd love my special mix.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And what's this when it's at home?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Oh, careful with that. That's a Carolina Reaper chilli.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33It's more for decoration, really.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37What? You think I can't handle it?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42AGH!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Yeah, you see, chillies evolved to be so hot to stop mammals
0:06:45 > 0:06:47eating the pods and destroying the seeds,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and that there's the hottest chilli in the world.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Stop it. Let me try. Give us it.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55AGH!
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Oh, oh!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Water! Water!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Actually, water will just make it worse.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03What you need is dairy products to cool the burning.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Dairy products? Like what?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07My Yorkshire pudding-flavoured milkshake.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08BOTH: Give us it! Give us some!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Oh, I knew you'd come round to it in the end.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Erm, do I win, then?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Do I win?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Robin. Hah, huh, hah!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Why are you sat in the lotus position?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Hi, Batman Ben.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45I'm now Hindu Robin, and I live here at the Batu Caves.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Why don't I show you around?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Ugh, stand back, Hindu Robin!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51There's a massive golden deity about to attack.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Relax, Batman Ben.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Although that is a 42.7m statue of the god of war,
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Hindus believe in living a peaceful, joyous and colourful life.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03He won't hurt you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Hm! These Hindu Batu Caves don't sound good for my image.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10What if I told you there was loads of bats inside?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12OK, to the Batu Caves.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19The Batu Caves are famous for more than bats
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and dodgy Batman impersonators.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25They are an important religious site for Hindus,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28who make up about 6% of Malaysians.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30There are three main caves,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33which house heaps of Hindu shrines and statues,
0:08:33 > 0:08:39but I bet you wouldn't expect that you have to climb 272 steps
0:08:39 > 0:08:41to get into the caves.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48'Ed and Ben, you have 50 seconds to find out
0:08:48 > 0:08:51'as much as you can about the Batu Caves.
0:08:51 > 0:08:58'Ben, you have Juliana, who knows everything about the caves.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04'Ed, you have Mr Sethu, who knows all about the shrines.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07'Whoever finds out the most facts is
0:09:07 > 0:09:10'the winner.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14'Tiga, dua, satu, mula!'
0:09:18 > 0:09:21How long has the temple been here?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23How many caves are there?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25And why is this place important to Hindus?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30How old are the caves?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32That's very old.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34So, why are there shrines to different gods?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- A role in our human life? - Yes.- That sounds cool.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Are there are no cold caves? - No.- Why?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Speak for yourself, I'm always cool.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Yeah, you are the Batman.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Thank you for noticing.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Is there a God of superheroes?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Ah, there is.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00OK. I wasn't expecting that.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01And what do you like most about the caves?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05How many steps are there?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07HOOTER SOUNDS
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Oh, I think we're out of time.- Yeah. - You were excellent - I was better.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Yay!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14'And the winner is...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16'Ed.'
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Yeah!
0:10:17 > 0:10:22'And your prize is to get to visit the dark cave.'
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Don't worry, Batman Ben, you get to visit the cave too.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Just watch out for the bat poo.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Look at this, Batman Ben. Isn't it the best thing ever?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Er, it's a little colourful for my taste, Hindu Robin.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41However, it does remind me of a comic strip,
0:10:41 > 0:10:42and I love a comic strip.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Really? Well, check this out. This is the sleeping giant Kumbhakarna.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49According to the story of the Ramayana, when he wakes,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53he'll join his brother, the demon king Ravana, and fight the god Rama.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Wow. He's a sleeping giant.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57That explains the tiny elephants,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00although I think we should tone down the superhero voices.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01We don't want to wake him.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Hinduism is not a single faith, it's a collection of different beliefs,
0:11:09 > 0:11:10originating in India.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Hindus believe that our actions in life have consequences
0:11:14 > 0:11:19and that you can be born again in a different form after death.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22This incredible, green, hulking character reminds me of someone,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24but I can't think who.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28It's Lord Hanuman, a Hindu god, and this statue is 15 metres tall.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30That's almost eight Ed Petries.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Is nothing round here of a normal size?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Hanuman is known for being commander of the monkey army.- Ah, yes.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I think I've seen his followers stealing tourists' food
0:11:37 > 0:11:39on the way in.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42That's right. The monkeys here are protected because of the shrine,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44so they're very badly behaved.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47If I have my way, they won't be coming into the dark cave.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49It might liven things up a bit.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Now, this is what I call a dark cave.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Hm.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Uh! There's creepy-crawlies.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Do try to act like a hero, Batman Ben.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05There are loads of creatures that have been living in the dark cave
0:12:05 > 0:12:08for 100 million years and have adapted to the darkness,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11including the rarest spider in the world, the trapdoor spider.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Well, I, too, am of the darkness, but why this cave?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Because of all the free food.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Free food?- Yeah.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23They eat the droppings.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Bat poo, Hindu Robin?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Bat poo? That's gross.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yep, and because you lost the fact-off,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33you're going to help tidy it up.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Here's your Bat Brush.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36And your Bat Dustpan.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41There's a big bit there. It's all over the place.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yeah, I've had enough of the jokes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58One, two, three...
0:12:58 > 0:13:02# To learn the martial art tradition of ninjutsu
0:13:02 > 0:13:03# Is a dream of mine
0:13:05 > 0:13:08# What better place to come and find out all about it
0:13:08 > 0:13:10# Than the Nezu Shrine
0:13:11 > 0:13:17# This ancient place of worship was built back in 1706
0:13:18 > 0:13:21# Seems it's the perfect setting to show off our skills
0:13:21 > 0:13:25# And throw some ninja kicks
0:13:25 > 0:13:29# Ni-inja
0:13:29 > 0:13:31# Ninja
0:13:31 > 0:13:33# Some assistance is required
0:13:33 > 0:13:36# Ni-i-inja
0:13:38 > 0:13:40# Ninja
0:13:40 > 0:13:41# Those two look good They're hired!
0:13:41 > 0:13:48# A ninja is a person skilled in stealth and camouflage and sabotage
0:13:48 > 0:13:52# They were like secret agents from back in the day
0:13:52 > 0:13:55# Involved in espionage
0:13:55 > 0:13:57# These guys are really cool
0:13:57 > 0:14:02# They're from a ninja school and they've got all the moves
0:14:02 > 0:14:04# A couple of lessons with these
0:14:04 > 0:14:08# And I'm sure our ninja soon improves
0:14:08 > 0:14:12# Ni-i-inja
0:14:12 > 0:14:15# Ni-inja... #
0:14:15 > 0:14:17And they meditate, too.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20# Ni-i-inja
0:14:20 > 0:14:23# Ni-inja
0:14:23 > 0:14:25# They call this state the Ku

0:14:28 > 0:14:32# Learned from Buddhist ancestors called kujikiri
0:14:32 > 0:14:35# Builds confidence, also mental strength
0:14:35 > 0:14:39# It's like having a sixth sense Ninja, you foresee
0:14:39 > 0:14:43# Ni-i-inja
0:14:43 > 0:14:45# Ni-inja... #
0:14:45 > 0:14:47What about these ninja weapons?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51# Ni-i-inja
0:14:51 > 0:14:53# Ni-inja
0:14:53 > 0:14:55# Looks like we've not had enough lessons
0:14:55 > 0:14:58# One thing I'm sure that we can do
0:14:58 > 0:15:01# Is a well-known ninjutsu stealth technique
0:15:02 > 0:15:08# Basically, you walk silently by treading on the outside of your feet
0:15:09 > 0:15:12# Most of the ninja's work was carried out
0:15:12 > 0:15:15# Under the cover of the night
0:15:16 > 0:15:18# And they wore blue, NOT BLACK
0:15:18 > 0:15:21# Because black would show up under the bright moonlight
0:15:22 > 0:15:26# Ni-i-inja
0:15:27 > 0:15:29# Ni-inja... #
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Now thanks to this tuition...
0:15:31 > 0:15:35# Ni-i-inja
0:15:35 > 0:15:37# Ni-inja... #
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I think we're ready for a mission.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Ed, look! It might be our first mission.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Oh! It's a bill for the lesson.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Oh, it's quite a lot.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Er, could you go halves, Vic?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Vic?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I can see you!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Yo. Yo, yo, yo.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yo, yo! Yo, yo!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It's Ed To The Threads.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23And N-Spin-Zee.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Keeping it seriously old-school. - Yo, you knows it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28We're here to check, check, check, check, check, check out...
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Checking it out!- The yo-yo museum in Beijing to find out the origins
0:16:32 > 0:16:34of this amazing spinning toy!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yeah, but these aren't the yo-yos you know. Oh, no, no. Oh, no.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40These are the original, the diabolo.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41This place looks well retro.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Yo!- N-Spin-Zee, let's roll!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Yo, yo!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- TRANSLATION: - Hello, I am Mr Li Luanyuan,
0:17:12 > 0:17:13the inheritor of this museum,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16and I help share the story of the diabolo, which is very important.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20So, so, Mix Master Li, give us the down low.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23When did the Chinese first invent the diabolo?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- TRANSLATION:- This is called the kongzhu.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It has more than 900 years' history in China.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31BOTH: Old-school!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Let's check it out.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Whoa, whoa! These look totally retro.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39What are they even made of?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- TRANSLATION:- It is made from bamboo.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45It takes five days and 17 steps to complete.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47When spun, it makes this sound.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49HUMMING NOISE
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Handmade singing retro yo-yos.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- TRANSLATION:- This diabolo was once played by the last emperor of China,
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Puyi.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01So even royalty loved diabolos.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Yeah, because old's cool!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Whoa, this is massive!
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Whoa!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- TRANSLATION:- It's the biggest diabolo in the world and only takes
0:18:15 > 0:18:18one person to use it, but requires great strength and skill.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I bet you have to be super strong to spin this super top.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I've got super retro strength, it will be no problem for me.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29But it is, er, it's behind glass so I can't show you.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You couldn't even lift that one.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Yeah, I could.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Hey, too cool!
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- TRANSLATION:- Many things can be made into a diabolo - even this chair.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Totally new-school. Can I have a go?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- TRANSLATION:- Of course you can have a go.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You don't want to do it like that!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Oh!
0:18:50 > 0:18:55Good evening, and welcome to Better The Diabolo You Know!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58The aim of the game is to name the trick being demonstrated
0:18:58 > 0:19:00by my able assistant.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Oh, he's good, isn't he? - He's really good. I could do that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Yeah, course you could, dearie. - I was being sarcastic.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Is this trick...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10A - a slipstream spin?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Or B - a Ferris wheel?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14A Ferris wheel.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16No-one's taking you for a ride, are they?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- That's right.- That's right?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23It's also known in China as "ring the bell."
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Ding-ding.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Is this A - a memory twister?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Or B - a flippity floppity?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37A flippity floppity, that's too weird to not be true.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41It was 50/50, and you're 100% wrong.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45In China this move's also known as "hug the moon."
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Hug?
0:19:53 > 0:19:59Is this move in China known as A - a monkey hoopla?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Or B - grab the moon from the bottom of the sea?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Monkey hoopla. - Oh, no, you've spun out of control.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- It was B.- Gutted.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Oh, well. At least I've still got my lucky yo-yo.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Now it's just a yo.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Goodbye!
0:20:37 > 0:20:42One gnarly, rugged 4x4 vehicle - check.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46One national park deep in the Sri Lankan jungle - check.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Two extreme safari adventure types.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54We'll need to check.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00It's the elephant safari photography main event.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Local pro Rajiv will be on hand to judge Ed and Michelle's smartphone
0:21:07 > 0:21:09safari snaps.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14So, Rajiv, are we going to see wild elephants today, yes or no?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Of course, yes.- Yay!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18We'll see a lot of elephants in Udawalawe National Park.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21What tips have you got for taking really good photos of elephants?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Yeah, it's about great composition, great light.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26But the key is to be patient and also to be quiet.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Oh, that's good, because I'm very patient and very quiet.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- LOUDLY:- Let's go, let's go, let's go!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Sh!
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Oh, settle, petal.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Sri Lankan elephants are unique to the island.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40They're a subspecies of the Asian elephant and smaller than
0:21:40 > 0:21:42their giant African cousins.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45But before you can meet these gentle giants on the safari trial,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48you're just in time to catch the baby elephants
0:21:48 > 0:21:51getting their breakfast at the nearby orphanage.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Rajiv reckons this is a good place to get up close and personal,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59and get some inspiration for the photography challenge.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Look at that! We've just turned up and... elephants!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04They are so cute, look at them.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- It's amazing.- I knew this going on safari was easy.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09And, look. They're having a milkshake just like us.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Ed, let's see if we can get a closer look. Come on.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Hi. Hi, nice to meet you.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Hello.- These elephants are so cute.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24But what exactly do you do here?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29They're not wild elephants?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40So, it's like a nursery. They have to leave at five?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- To go to big school?- Yeah.- How many elephants do you have here?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Whoa, that's a lot of baby elephants.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Why is the elephant making so much noise?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Oh, he wants more milk? - Yeah, he wants more.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- So he's angry?- Yeah.- He's basically throwing a toddler tantrum.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Obviously, it's quite easy to spot elephants in an orphanage.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Is it easy spotting them out there in the wild?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Oh, good.- Sounds promising.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Well, I think we should go on an extreme elephant safari.- Yeah.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24The challenge has begun, and there's only a few hours until the sun sets.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27So start spotting!
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Where are the elephants?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I still can't see anything.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Be patient, remember.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Look! Animals!
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Oh, what are they? I'm not sure they're elephants, you know.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Rajiv?- Yes?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46What are these?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50They're domesticated buffaloes from the village.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Buffalo, right.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Sounds exotic, doesn't it?- I'm getting my camera ready for this.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Oh, dear. There seems to be something in your shot.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Hey, get your elbows out! - That's beautiful.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Oh, you might as well give up now, Michelle.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I just can't get the right framing.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Oh, very arty.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I got a very arty one there.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Better save some battery, boys and girls.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14There are around about 700 elephants in Udawalawe.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15You just have to be patient.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18You've already spotted some animals.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Still no elephants, though.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I can see why Rajiv said you needed patience now.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Been out here about an hour now. Not seen a single one.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32- Oh!- What?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I observed droppings.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Look, elephant poo.- Oh, yeah.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Oh, yeah! That poo looks fresh.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43What's around this corner?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46- Look, elephants! - Elephants!
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Oh, wow!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Four elephants, mountains in the background, trees.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03We have the perfect wildlife photographs.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Actual elephants in the wild going about their elephant business.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Just think, one of these could have been in the orphanage.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- (I know.) - And now it's living out here.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Being an expert on elephants,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21I can tell you that the male has a more sloped back and the female
0:25:21 > 0:25:22is a more box shape.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25A flatter back. That's how you can tell.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I know a lot about elephants.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31What have we seen so far? We've seen buffalo, elephants, that cat thing.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33What, a cat? We saw a cat?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- A jungle cat?- Yeah. - Where was the jungle cat?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Oh, haven't you seen one, Michelle? I've already seen five.- What?
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Oh, jungle cats, they've been ten a penny on this side of the jeep!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I think Ed is pulling your leg, Michelle.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48But keep your eyes peeled because as Rajiv predicted,
0:25:48 > 0:25:52there are plenty more animals to spot.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54This spotted deer.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55The black-shouldered kite.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57The white-bellied sea eagle.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02And even little kingfishers.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Oh, look at it!
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Wow, I've never seen a kingfisher before.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09It's exactly what I always kind of hoped they'd look like.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Just look out for the mugger crocodiles.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13They can be tricky to spot.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Since I can see it and Michelle can't,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'm going to take a photograph for you.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I just can't see it.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Is it a joke?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It's no joke, Michelle.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Remember, Rajiv mentioned you need good light for the perfect photo.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32And with the sun setting, there's not a moment to lose.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I've got elephants and poo in one shot.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38That's art, that is.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Art.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45No, no, no, you don't. No, that's my side again.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I told you. Look, look. Just imagine there's a line.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I can't believe we saw so many elephants today.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54It's been brilliant, hasn't it?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57And elephants have got really long memories, you know.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I expect they'll never forget the day they met Ed Petrie and
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Michelle Ackerley.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03May the best wildlife photographer win.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Time is up, Ed.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Rajiv has taken a look at Ed and Michelle's safari snaps,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17and, after much thought, has decided on a winner.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well done, Ed and Michelle. You guys did great today.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24But there can only be one winner and I choose Ed's picture.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Yay!- It encapsulates the spirit of the National Park,
0:27:27 > 0:27:28as well as the elephants.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- So, well done, Ed. - Oh, thank you very much.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but...
0:27:34 > 0:27:35HE TRUMPETS LOUDLY
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll just pack my trunk, shall I?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42You've been watching All Over The Place: Asia!
