i am about to take my first bus  journey ever in sri lanka i'm currently   in ella in front of my hotel and i'm waiting  for the bus and the goal is to reach a small   mountain town called haputale but first we  have to go to another town called bandarawela   and then we have to change the bus so i'm  pretty excited and yeah they told me i   just have to wait here and the next bus  will come in a few minutes hopefully   what are you selling here fish yeah ah where's  the fish coming from amanda because here no ocean   right oh yeah you buy some fish yeah yeah and he  just uh cruising around with his motorbike here   ah you even have something to trade here oh  okay okay yeah i'm from germany yeah germany yes   and tuna fish is very delicious yeah oh yeah  you just uh showed up here with the bike tuna how much is one fish uh seven seventy two hundred  rupees seventy rupees seventy for for one fish one   kilo one kilo 70 rupees per kilo that sounds  uh not expensive so how much is this here this is a four ah this is the  whole fish here is only 40 rupees   yeah 41 rupees because it's half a kilo ah  interesting but uh i can't buy a fish i'm sorry   yeah yeah it seems to be like the local  village fish man riding around the villages ah small fish too angola ah okay okay thank you  very much interesting to see   selling lots of fish here in the villages what he just did the pieces of the fish  that he doesn't use you just throw them   here for the dogs to eat it looks like the  dog cannot find it oh there's another dog   come here we have some fish here for you come here yeah some fish for you right in front of you he doesn't want the fish  yes yes ah now he found it huh we have another one   okay enjoy the fish meal guys oh they don't  seem to be too interested into the fish   she's just said that the bus is coming  maybe she can hear it i think he said no okay let's see first time using these buses here how much i paid 55 rupees or i have no idea  how long it's going to be and maybe we explore a little bit around that  town before we continue to the final destination   of today which is uh yeah i heard a lot about  these buses that they are driving really crazy   and fast and especially here in the mountains  we are really high maybe i can show you the view oh thank you i even got a ticket yeah it's a little bit the view is a little  bit blocked with all the trees but uh   it is pretty high here in the mountains so far the driver seems to be okay not too crazy also i think there are no really bus stations  here people just hop on the bus whenever they want   also the the place where i was that was not  a bus station they just told me or when the   bus is coming just wave at the bus driver  and he will stop wow check out the news i think we have tea fields here and lots of cars coming looks  like tourist tour group cars vans that's boring right riding around here  with a small van full with the tourists people are always surprised  when i see a foreigner here   in these rural areas sitting in a local bus you  know it's interesting to to ride through or drive   through all these villages here have a look  at places like this people selling fruits here over there little corner  shop foods and some drinks well lovely impressions here once again of rural  sri lanka and we are pandarabella where we're   going to make the first stop it's a little bit  bigger town i'm not really sure how big but uh   a little bit bigger and then haputal  is also a small town in the mountains   i'm not really sure how it works  when you want to leave the bus   i think you can uh ring a bill off  you have that i think you can somehow   ring a bell and then the bus will stop whenever  you want also you don't need bus stations to   uh to get out of the bus i think you can get out  whenever you want just not sure i don't see it now   i think you just need to push down  i think the line here is the bell just do like this and then you can leave the bus  whenever you want i think that's how it works but now there was no bell and still the bus is  stopping maybe there are certain bus stops as well   where the bus is stopping still 100 understanding the system here any one of you can explain it in the  comment section feel free to do so   i would be curious to to know uh here once again there's no bus stop here and  the monk just erased his hand and then the bus   stops easy right you don't need bus stops it's  way more easy like this i like the system here   in germany the bus is only allowed  to stop at the bus stations   not in between you know but  it's way more easy like this i think we can see some key plucker here over  there i think this is a g field here some workers   over there probably uh just finishing their their  morning shift it's about 12 12 30 at the moment all right we came to a small town actually not  sure where do i have to get out it's already   panderable i don't know maybe let me check on  google maps oh yes this is already vandavella i think maybe the next stop we're going out  explore a little bit around here that's the   train stage maybe that is a good point to get  out on a railway station here okay we are here maybe in one hour but i can  find the bus here yes okay okay all right let's get out here all right i was told to avoid these buses in sri  lanka because the drivers are driving like crazy   they are speeding you get motion sick pretty fast  but i really don't see any reason why to avoid   these buses because it was fully all right  now it was now a 35 minute ride i feel good   but i don't want to go now later later   and yeah we want to go to haputali but i think  before we go to the next bus to happy tallah let's   explore a little bit around this town see what we  can find here maybe have a drink or or something   to eat i see something interesting over there a  combination of two things food and a nice view we even have a crossing point here but i think please don't run me over so first of all  check out the beautiful view here that looks   pretty nice right and wow i love the the day  today the sun is shining it's beautiful here   busy it's bustling around here hello but this is what i saw  from the other side of the road   hello um you have something  sweet yes is this sweet sweet one here okay i would like to to get one of these how much   okay one one piece here maybe let's uh  try something else i think this is what i   ate on the train in the previous video these  are dark cookies i also tried in another video is this the best here yes okay one piece here  yeah two pieces two pieces yes please why not okay yeah i always like to try new things let's  see on what this is looks like a small   dough maybe fried is there a shrimp on top

expecting uh this to be a  drink but it's more like a pudding   oh we have lots of tickets here hello many lottery booths here and these  lottery tickets you saw me in other   videos buying these figures they seem to be  very popular here many many stalls coming there what else we have shoes here flip-flops   hello i see a juice bar that looks always good  let's see hello i would like to have a juice i cannot come inside yes yes okay what is this milk powder right because  i'm actually not sure what is inside the falooda   milk powder and water ice cream and  this is a vanilla ice cream yeah uh-huh   so every falooda with vanilla ice cream chocolate  followed oh you can also chocolate talluda okay   okay okay so we have milk and ice cream  and now the syrup what is this syrup ah okay
