The Events All Over the Place

Are you ready for an amazing adventure?

-Then join Ed Petrie...

-HE SQUEALS

..and his CBBC mates...

-Spud me, bruv.

-Yes.

..on a bonkers and brilliant journey around...

Asia! Asia! Asia!

Today, the team are going to take part in

some of Asia's most spectacular and craziest events.

Oooh-ha!

And that means Ed can cross some once-in-a-lifetime experiences

off his bucket list.

-How far's the sea?

-I'm coming to get you!

So, are you ready to go...

# All over the place

# All over the place

# North, south, east, west

# On a bizarre quest

# Me and my mates, all over the place

# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd

# Whatever we do is strange but true

# All over the place

# All over the place

# There's stuff to do in Asia that's totally ace

# And it turns up...

# All over the place. #

There we go. A beautiful bird.

Another thing I can cross off my bucket list -

learn the ancient Japanese art of origami.

Ed, you do know that origami is Japanese for paper folding,

not paper scrunch into a ball-ing.

I'd like to see you do any better.

Ta-da! One paper crane.

Show off. Hang on, where's my bucket list?

Oh, funny story...

Cel, it's going to take me ages to get the folds out of that.

I can barely read it. I mean, what does that say?

It says, "Paint your belly as a face and enter a dancing competition."

I can't believe I'm going to say this,

-but I think we've done that, Ed.

-Yes, we have. How convenient.

I wonder if they filmed it.

Strangely enough, yes, we filmed it,

and there were plenty of belly laughs

when Ed and Cel visited Furano, Japan.

Over 5,000 people took to the streets of Furano

with their bellies painted for the Heso Matsuri,

or belly button festival.

They were here to take part in the festival's main event,

the belly button dance,

and Ed and Cel joined the hilarity.

The competition is judged on

the design of the painting on your belly,

how good your dancing is and how much fun you are having.

Better get those bellies dancing.

-Belly button.

-So, the dancers are ready.

Cel is ready.

Ed is sort of ready.

Cue the music.

And we're off.

Ed and Cel begin at opposite ends of the street

and must complete several circuits,

hoping to impress the judges each time they pass.

I'm exhausted already.

-I've only been going for a minute.

-It's hot.

Cel seems to be picking up the dance steps pretty well, though,

and he's having fun,

so has Ed found his dancing feet?

Well, he'll definitely going to score high for fun,

but I'm still not sure about the dancing.

I've lost my place.

Oh, but Cel's feet have taken a break.

Can he get back into the rhythm?

Ed is definitely going all-out for having fun.

I think I've impressed the judges there.

This parade is one hour of dancing in the evening heat,

and that's actually really tiring.

Have a little rest, Ed.

This is the rest point.

And, boy, do I need a rest!

Cel is still going strong, but where is Ed?

Oi! I said have a rest, not call it a night.

Don't tell anyone,

but we've been past the judges' tables a few times now,

so I've ducked out and I'm having a nice sit down.

So that's the parade over.

But Cel is about to get started...

-on Ed.

-Cop-out!

-What?

-What are you doing sat down?

What? I did the whole thing!

-You did the whole thing!

-I did.

Every time I was going up and down, I was like, "Where's Ed?

"Where's Ed?" And he's sat here chilling.

It is a DNF.

Did not finish.

Boom.

And the winner is Team Cel!

CHEERING

Arigato!

Wrap and tuck.

HE GROANS

Oh, the traditional Sri Lankan sarong.

You know, they're really not that hard to tie.

-Do you want me to demonstrate?

-No.

I have to do it myself.

It's on my bucket list.

First, step into it.

Wear it long for formal.

And short for work.

Show off. I've got this.

"Tie a traditional sarong, by any means necessary."

I hope you didn't cheat like that on the elephant safari.

Me cheat in a main event?

Ooh! Watch this if you don't believe me.

Maybe not cheating, but there was some jostling for position.

No, no, you don't. That's my side again.

When Ed and Michelle visited

Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka...

-Look!

-Elephants!

-Elephants!

..to photograph the amazing elephants.

They went snap happy, but it was Ed that was a picture of success.

Yes, I'll just pack my trunk, shall I?

But could Michelle get back in the game when she and Ed

went on a different kind of Sri Lankan journey in Colombo?

They were going on a treasure hunt in one of these - a tuk-tuk.

It's like a tiny taxi,

and Ed and Michelle teamed up with two expert drivers.

Their mission - to complete three different challenges before sunset.

So who will take the tuk-tuk trophy?

Their first challenge is to go shopping for

the most Sri Lankan souvenir they can find.

-You can buy a sarong.

-A sarong?

-Yes, it is a traditional wear.

It looks like Ed has settled on a stylish Sri Lankan skirt.

While Michelle has gone for something a bit more fruity.

OK. Wow! Orange coconuts.

It's got an elephant on it! It screams holiday, Sri Lanka!

-Brilliant.

-Thank you.

That is amazing,

I can't believe I'm actually drinking from a Sri Lankan coconut.

250?

-No.

-260?

273?

That's a very specific amount. OK, there you go.

Their next challenge is all about getting a holiday selfie.

Ed is on his way to the Galle Face Hotel, built in 1864.

While Michelle heads for the iconic Jami-Ul-Alfar Mosque.

-Smile.

-Smile.

-What's "cheese" in Sri Lankan?

-Ee.

-Ee?!

-Yeah.

-BOTH:

-Ee!

Ed and Michelle's third and final challenge

is to taste a traditional Sri Lankan street food dish.

Kottu roti, OK.

Michelle has gone for kottu roti.

It's made from chopped up leftovers

of bread, chicken and vegetables,

and it's noisy!

CLATTERING

But what's on the menu for Ed?

Right, OK, so what's in this?

That's palandi.

That's chicken, vegetable and some Sri Lankan spices.

That tastes really good.

It's hot with chilies, though.

Oh, yes, delicious.

Hang on, what am I doing? I've got to find out who's won.

The sun has set, the challenge is over.

And the All Over The Place trophy goes to Michelle.

Yes!

Hey, Ed, what's that?

This is a daruma doll, some people in Japan think they're lucky.

Why are you drawing on it, then?

What you do is you fill in this eye to make a wish,

and then you fill in the other eye when the wish is granted.

Oh, cool! What did you wish for, then?

Oh... I wished I could cross something else off my bucket list.

Oh, I'm sure you can manage that.

-Go on, let's see your list.

-There's quite a few things.

"Meet the Japanese royal family, drink all the tea in China,

"take part in an amazing festival with Johny."

Well, you can definitely tick that one off.

I mean, we've been to loads of amazing festivals in Japan.

Oh, yeah.

And what are all those ones for?

Ah!

Well, that one is to help me meet the Japanese royal family,

that one is to help me drink all the tea in China, that one is...

OK, Ed, that's enough wishes for now.

Ed and Johny had some epic adventures in Japan.

Johny took the trophy at the sandal festival in Fukushima

when his team crossed the finish line way ahead of Ed

in the giant sandal race.

CHEERING

But Ed evened the score at the Nebuta festival in Aomori.

Our duo went dancing with these enormous light up floats,

and their challenge was to rack up the most steps.

And Ed romped to victory.

So it was all in the balance at the Kanto Matsuri in Akita.

And I do mean balance.

These big bamboo poles with lanterns attached are called kanto,

and Ed and Johny are about to find out

that keeping them upright is not as easy as it looks.

Kanto carriers are judged on their carrying style

and how steady they keep the kanto.

But they must stay within the six metre circle when balancing.

Johny, you're up first.

Once he's raised the kanto,

he must balance it on one hand and hold it steady.

There he goes.

Oh, he's doing well.

He's holding it steady.

The judges, what do they think?

Oh, well done, Johny.

Oh! Oh!

Timber!

In my head, that looked amazing.

For someone who had never tried this until today, that wasn't bad.

That chant from the crowd is dokkoisho, dokkoisho, dokkoisho,

and it is to encourage the kanto carriers, and roughly means,

"Keep trying," or, "You can do it."

So, Ed, you can do it, you can do it, you can do it!

I don't even believe he can do it, but...

Oh, he's got it up in the air, it's there.

He's balancing it.

And, oh, where is he going?

He's heading for the edge of the six metre circle,

and he's gone over the line.

Surely that must count against him.

I couldn't look at the floor, I couldn't see where the circle was.

That excuse won't wash with the judges, but remember,

they also give points for how steady you are

and how good you look when holding the kanto.

So did Ed do enough?

And the winner is Johny.

Yes! Thank you. Arigato gozaimasu.

They've got the drums going and everything.

-Look at this.

-On balance, I think the best man won.

Hey, Ed, what's with the weird drum?

Not a drum, Chris, it's a tabla.

It's a traditional Indian instrument.

It's another thing to tick off my bucket list.

Learn to play a new instrument.

-Do you want to hear?

-Sure.

DRUM SOUNDS

That's great. That's really good.

I'll take that away from you so you can cross it off your list.

Oh, thanks, mate.

It's not as easy as it looks, you know.

HE PLAYS PERFECT BEAT

Oi! No-one likes a show-off.

Oh, here's another thing I can tick off.

Take part in a pedalo boat race.

Oh, I remember that like it was yesterday.

-It was today.

-What?

Oh, yeah.

Yes, Ed and Chris were in Mount Abu, India, for a pedal race on water.

They warmed up for the main event with some tug-of-war

and a game of hit a clay pot with a stick while blindfolded.

But then it was pedalo time.

The rules are simple,

you and your racing partner must pedal the boat as fast as you can

around the island and back again, trying to beat the other pedalos,

and each other of course.

Three, two, one, go!

All right, we are going.

We're off! We're off!

Nice strong start.

We can't steer into the camera boat, that wouldn't be a very good start.

No, Ed, it wouldn't.

To the island.

Yeah, now you've got it.

What are the flags on the island?

-Why are there flags on there?

-It's a temple.

Oh, it is a temple. Look, there are things on there.

Oh, less sightseeing and more peddling, please, Ed.

Oh, wow!

OK, somebody is going

the wrong way around the island.

You go around that side!

Oh, so smug.

Who do you think is going to win, Chris?

I'll get back to you on that one.

Someone is gaining on us, come on.

This is going really well.

Oh, my days!

Oh, it looks like we are going to come second or third.

Wow, that's great, Ed.

And that surely means you are going to beat Chris.

I propose we win in a different way.

Have a drink, enjoy the ride.

Yes! Second!

WHISTLE BLARES

Oh, no.

Victory! Victory!

Wow, an actual ninja.

Excuse me, can I get a selfie with you?

Hiya, Ed. What are you doing?

Oh, just got another thing to cross off my bucket list.

Take a selfie with a ninja.

What ninja?

How do they do that?

Anyway, got photos to prove it.

Ah, OK.

Cracking selfie.

But where is the ninja?

He was right here, honestly.

I can sort this out.

I'm going to have to change this to take a selfie with Victoria.

Hey, you can tick that off your list as well.

Take part in a Japanese competition.

We had a proper good time at that wooden tub race.

Yes, we had about as much fun as you can have in a wash tub,

which it turns out is quite a lot.

Yes, Ed and Vic had a lot of fun in Japan.

First, they took to the river for a wooden tub race in Ito.

Howay the lads!

And Ed cleaned up in his floating tub.

I'm the winner!

Could Vic make it all square when they sang for their supper

and the main event trophy in Tokyo?

Japan is the home of karaoke,

so Ed and Vic are going head-to-head in an All Over The Place sing off.

But, before taking the stage,

there's a chance to warm up the vocal cords and have a practice run.

Once the contest begins,

they will be judged on their singing skills

as well as their style and stage presence.

So who will be the King

or Queen of the mic?

And where did I put my earplugs?

Has anybody seen my earplugs?

# You've got the look

# I got the key

# You know the rest

# You know just where I want to be

# Don't ever stop controlling me

# I kind of like it when you bring me to my knees

# You got me wrapped up

# Around your fingers

# I'd do anything for your love now

# And when you touch it, the feeling lingers

# Takes me up so high I can't come down. #

Bravo, Ed, you've given it your all.

But can Vic top it?

# Don't stop me now

# I'm having such a good time

# I'm having a ball

# No-one can stop me now

# Do you want to have a good... #

I can't read.

# Give me a call

# Don't stop me cos I'm having a good time... #

Someone stop her. Someone stop her.

# I don't want to stop at all. #

Top effort, Vic. So who will be crowned the karaoke champion?

Vic! Vic! Vic!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, here it is.

"Try a fruit you've never heard of."

Oh, what a lovely bunch of bananas, Ed,

did you just pick them from the jungle?

They're not bananas, Ben, these are Malaysia pisang,

a fruit of which I have never heard.

Yes, but isn't pisang just the Malaysia word for banana?

Oh, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben.

I'm going to tell you now, as a wise old Dayak man once told me,

"The yellow fruit you see is a pisang."

Yes, there's actually a monkey over there, Ed,

with some pretty tasty looking bananas.

Oi, you pesky primate! Give me back my pisang!

You're lucky I haven't got my blowpipe.

Ed and Ben both went pisang, I mean, bananas,

for blowpipes when they visited Sarawak in Malaysia.

They were there to hang out at the Sarawak Cultural Village

and get a taste of what life was like for the local Dayak tribe.

There was music, dancing, and then it was time for the main event,

a blowpipe competition.

Ed and Ben will have three attempts each

with a traditional Dayak blowpipe to hit the target.

The closer they get to the centre of the board, the more points they get.

So who will win the battle of the blowpipes?

First up, it's Ben.

-20.

-Yes!

Ed is up next.

80.

Well done, Ed, it must be the hat.

Nice, 60.

Just going to kiss my lucky lampshade.

40.

This is getting close, isn't it?

Final blow for Ben, and he really needs a good score.

Don't suck.

Oh! Oh, no score, he's totally missed the target.

Pressure got to me, guys.

Yes, you've blown it.

You showed that bush a thing or two.

Ed is going into his last shot feeling cocky.

In fact, he's so confident, he's thinking about how his hair looks.

Oh, and 60.

Yes! Yes.

I think maybe Ed reckons he's won.

Actually, he has.

Ben scores 80, Ed has an immodest 180!

Oooh-ha!

-Got it.

-Hey, Ed.

Oh, are you on one of those nutty celeb diets again?

Not likely. No, I'm just ticking another thing off my bucket list.

Perfect my chopstick skills.

Nifty skills, my friend.

Fancy taking it to the next level?

You're on. What's the challenge?

Who can get the most nuts in the bowl.

Ready, set, go!

Time's nearly up, Ed.

KLAXON SOUNDS

Just in time.

How did you do that?

Focus, relaxation and discipline.

Surely you haven't forgotten everything

we learnt at kung fu school.

Ed and Naomi took a trip to Wudangshan in China

for an epic kung fu adventure.

For over 700 years,

people have been coming here to learn how to become kung fu masters.

And becoming a master can take a lifetime.

But Ed and Naomi only have a day.

They will face off to see who can show the best balance,

flexibility and reactions,

before the winner is chosen by a kung fu master.

Good luck.

Round one. Balance.

Naomi is showing great balance.

While Ed doesn't look as smooth or as steady.

For his efforts, Ed gets 60 points,

but Naomi takes the lead with 80.

Round two.

Flexibility.

Ed's kicking is pretty flexible,

but he hasn't straightened that leg.

And look at that from Naomi!

Incredible.

Both Naomi's legs are straight as an arrow,

that's the technique Ed can't seem to master.

Ow!

In this round, Ed scores 50 points,

Naomi scores 70.

Naomi is ahead on 150 to Ed's 110.

-It's not fair.

-Yes, it is.

Round three.

Reaction.

One, two, three.

Ed's reactions are completely in time with the master's count.

Look at that concentration.

He's in the zone.

And Naomi... Oh, she's lost focus.

Can Ed pull this event back?

His timing is bang on.

Ed scores 80, Naomi scores 40.

Final total, 190 each. It's a tie.

So it's up to our kung fu master to decide the winner.

Naomi.

I feel so kung cool.

I feel like a kung fool.

This is the life, Ed.

Chilling out in the middle of the Indian backwaters.

And the perfect time to cross something else off my bucket list.

Eat a super spicy chilli.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on, mate.

You don't want to be doing that.

They can cause diarrhoea, vomiting,

sweating, extreme pain,

-amongst other things.

-Did I say taste? I meant smell.

Oh, that's spicy!

-That's it off the list.

-That reaction was fierce.

-Fierce like a tiger?

-Hang on, Ed.

Are you trying to do a tenuous link to that time we took part in

-that tiger festival?

-Might be.

Here's what happened when Inel and I dressed up as tigers.

Well, not so much dressed up,

more like painted in an amazing way and wearing a mask.

Because that's what happened

when Ed and Inel visited in Thrissur in India,

to take part in the Pulikali,

or tiger play.

And it was Ed who had the tiger steps,

style and stamina to get his big cat paws on the trophy.

Could Inel level with Ed when they took part in

a very breathtaking sport in Alappuzha, India?

They joined two teams to play the bonkers

and very popular game of kabaddi.

Each team takes turns attacking and defending.

The attacking team are called the Raiders.

And the defenders are called the Antis.

One member of the raiding team

has to make it deep into their opponents half and touch an Anti,

and then run back to the halfway line to win a point.

But, if the Antis stop them, they win the point.

Oh, and you have to keep saying kabaddi when in your opponents half.

And you must go back to your own half before you take another breath.

Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi! You get the idea.

On with the game!

May the best man... OK.

Right from the start, Team Ed are on fire.

With a strong defensive display,

they are racking up loads of points by stopping their opponents

from making it back to the own half.

You will rue the day you messed with Team Ed.

By half-time, Team Ed has stormed into a 5-2 lead.

So in the second half, can Team Inel catch up?

That's a dramatic double score.

A very good start.

Can Inel continue the fight back?

He's looking good.

Oh, he's got two points.

That's six points to Ed's seven.

Game on.

And that's a great bit of defending to level the score.

Whoo!

Team Inel on the attack.

It's looking promising.

Oh, he's tagged his man and he's over the line.

They are in the lead.

This match is a proper tussle.

Yay!

Get him!

LAUGHTER

And with seconds to go, the teams are level.

It's all down to this last attack.

Oh, and Team Inel win it at the death.

Ow!

I said from the start, I said from the start,

I said I was going to win.

Sorry, team. Sorry.

Winner of kabaddi, Team Inel.

Never mind, Ed.

At least that's something else crossed off your bucket list.

You've been watching All Over The Place: Asia.
