These Kids Offer Me WHAT!?
hello there from Ambon and finally a beautiful day here, it's been raining quite a bit here because apparently, it's rainy season so yesterday it just poured all day so which was fine it gave me time to work on some videos for you today what we're gonna do, is we're gonna head the opposite direction the other day we headed that way kind of towards the middle of town today we're going to go the opposite direction and go as far down the coast as we can. so Ambon is kind of like, I described in a previous video like an alligator head it has like two big you know it's like a big mouth basically and so we're gonna go all the way down the bottom lip or the bottom part of the mouth i guess that's what i'm trying to say so but first i need to get across the street hello hello but first we're gonna go get a bite to eat we're gonna stop by the uh the place that i went to the other day hello hello hello hello nice to meet you nice to meet you hello hello we're going to stop by the satay Ambon place to get a bite to eat first and then just continue on our way so join me as i do a little jalan jalan (walking) in Ambon, let's do it that's uh another thing it's kind of been difficult trying to figure out how to get around this island i've been trying to call Gojets but they don't seem to be uh responding to my pings you see a lot of people on the sidewalks just waiting for you i'm sure i could just go up to one of them be like hey drive me all the way down the coast which that's might be what i have to do today the other day I did take an angkot which is one of these but i just don't know where they're going you know i'm guessing if i just get on this road i want to go this way just kind of hop off whenever they're only three to five thousand which is like a quarter so unless you, unless they want to uh drive you around and be your private driver like in Bandung and Lumajang, then you got to be careful, not Lumajang where was that Lembang... i forgot the name but if they turn into your private driver, then you got to pay more money i didn't know that though, that time he was like hey you want to go see the hot springs I said sure why not, thinking that his route was going that way anyways but anyways i wanted to come here maybe on Saturday or Sunday but they were closed let's see if she's here today, let's see if she is here today hello hello is Senda here? well, I would like to eat something and it's still good i'm ready all right so got a little bit of food in the belly he's going to take me to a rujak fruit salad place a place that uh a guy from my hotel recommended so it's on the way i figured why not let's go let's go eat a little more why not right here? yeah. (do you want to eat with me?) on no no thank you no yeah yeah thank you
it looks like it just got done pouring rain ok, right by the ocean hello do you have fruit salad? yes, i would like to eat some rujak there's the ocean. i've been sitting in my hotel for the last couple days because of the rain there's so much more of the island that i want to go see but part of this the weather part of it's not having wheels there it is yeah peanut sauce it's kind of like the satay chicken that i just had in that... it was covered in a type of peanut sauce gado-gado and rujak and all that is always covered in a type of peanut sauce this one looks a little different you can actually see the chunks of peanuts in there I've had gado-gado, which is essentially just the lonton, the rice, bean sprouts some you know sometimes vegetables and covered in peanut sauce and i've had the the rujak cingur in Surabaya that had tempeh and tofu and bean sprouts and rice that thing was huge remember that thing? rujak cinger also has uh, i guess chinger means like either nose or mouth of the cow but i've never had actual fruit rujak, and so this is a first a little bit of spice to it too but the fruit, wow, that was nice and uh crispy you can tell it's super fresh mango it's just a weird combination with the peanut sauce and the fruit and the spice i enjoy it, it's good I wish somebody was here to tell me what kind of fruit i'm eating that looks like star fruit maybe based on the shape i think i like this more than just regular gado-gado to me that's just... it's not bland, but it's kind of the same flavor throughout the whole thing this has all different types of fruit so you're constantly you know, each bite is different papaya each bite is different juicy crispy some of them are sour that feels like an apple, but it's not an apple definitely not an apple i am a fan of this this is good okay thank you, you're welcome thank you nice to meet you thank you one tells me uh 15. she tells me 20. no use arguing, i want to go this way, yeah this way check it out I've made it to my first beach on Ambon and isn't it a beauty hello take a picture? okay sure sure yeah okay thank you thank you hello you're fishing whoa nice, look at that those are some funky ones too. wow whoa we got a blowfish in there too
