that require you to go into um a local on and get a head massage that require you to help out local families literally it's extremely diverse but um more on that later on hello we're just now arriving to the Second Challenge site and we just drove through some small little Beach town uh small little village and we have just arrived to where there's other beaches you know what this might be a perfect spot for a beach cleanup as well all right so these are the trash bags that were given to us in our our goodie bag and we got to fill this up and you can actually do this every single day per point so let's start picking up some trash it looks like this a nice little area to knock this challenge out pretty quickly a lot of plastic bottles oh the bag's not terribly big it fills up quickly all right we got the full bag done idle in hand time to take a picture and then you submit all the pictures into the application the actual Tuk Tok tournament application which is super cool but man that's actually a bit exhausting picking up this much trash now we can do this every day for points now I'm going to get over there and finish Andrew helping or helping finishing helping Andrew with the sand castle and then we just knocked off two challenges on one Beach that's how you do it oh what do you got going on over here that looks nice all right so I was going to put water in here but I don't think it's going to work but this is the bridge to get in the castle this is The Little Door make some windows and you know this is to keep everybody out you know to keep out all the gods you never know what's going to go in there so you just got to you know build some barriers around it maybe you got a coconut uh coconut tree in front this is our flag for the castle okay okay all right so this is the coconut Castle what a with a little bamboo stick coming out the I like it I like it good job man done with these challenges it's time to grab the trash bag jump back in the Tuk and make our way over uh to the town where we're going to continue on looking for more challenges oh man are they stuck the hot dog gang is stuck first still we we got to get hang on hang on will you shake me yeah put it in neutral so you can all we go neutral is you neutral there you go well these gentlemen just got done helping us with uh well our Tuk Tuk was stuck in the sand also so we're actually going to give them um one of the one of the envelopes with a donation from Tuk Tok rental so that they can go and do some grocery shopping so we'll do one of these to them here we give this to you

that all right on to the next challenge I think glidus said that's in chill out all right so we just saw some police officers on the road and one of the challenges is to take a picture with smiling police let's see if they're nice let's see I have a feeling they will be hello hello sir hello hello I have a I have a question we're doing a challenge right now Tuk Tuk tournament and we have to take

beautiful Temple right behind me and we actually have to take a picture right in front they said do not go in and take a picture because it's prohibited but let me show you guys and look at these ban trees they're so beautiful I remember being in Cambodia and seeing the ban trees wrapping around it's where they filmed Tomb Raider remember an anchor wats the ban tree actually wraps around the entire um building but wow this is amazing very beautiful that is amazing wow I really like that the ban trees are so impressive also Sri Lanka is just incredibly beautiful and I can tell that this Temple is is like a a peacock Temple because they got peacocks everywhere it's really cool just took our picture in front of the temple and now guys we got to hit the road because I just realized well I'm looking at the map right now on the application and it actually shows you where every everybody's at this is everybody in the Tik TK tournament and we're literally right here we haven't left the area that we've been in all morning but there's already people halfway across the country no not halfway across the country but pretty far away chasing this red gym so that's what we're going to head to right now and hopefully be able to knock that one off the list because we are staying here tonight in kurung Galia so the red gem I think is is the next move we're going to hit this little bar Tavern first and then make our way towards the Red Gym all right so this is the small Tavern that it has us pulling into and it says that we got to come on in here and buy some locals some TDY okay
