Catch me in "Cinta" Malaysian TV3

On the way back from the tea plantation we decided to stop at this cottage on the way back to town that is supposed to have the best tea and scones in the Cameron Highlands. They were sadly disappointing and overpriced. We couldnt even walk around in the garden because they were filming a Malaysian soap opera there. As we were paying to leave we told the director that if they needed any western extras they we could sit in. Half joking half serious and they said that they would pick us up later that evening!
We got a ride back to the hostel and prepared ourselves for the camera. Basically tried to make ourselves not look like backpackers and waited for them to pick us up.
Once back at the cottages we sat around for a very long while while they were finishing up with the scene that they didnt need us for.


We had a little break for dinner where everyone feasted on 2 huge garbage bags of durian.
My first time trying durian, not my favourite fruit for sure. Kinda like a mix of garlic, cheese, and other unknown tastes.




We had to pretend eat some really disgusting food, It had been sitting out all day but they said to make it look like we were actually eating it. They knew how bad it was because you could see how sorry they were because the food was made by the sub par cottage kitchen.


Us and the star actor. 



The extras, director, make up and crew.


We saw the star actor later in his finale on our TV back in the hostel.


I dont know when our episode will air but if i can find it on the internet ill be sure to post it!

Bali - Ubud and Kuta

Bali is beautiful I wish that we could have spent more time there but we ended up getting stuck on gili. To make up we spent 3 nights in a place called Ubud and did a day tour where we saw soooo much. We saw a traditional Balinese dancing. it was really cool cause there was no instruments. The men who were seated all around chanted and made a whole bunch of different sounds it sounded like there was music coming from all around you. They also made the setting by changing how they were sitting and moving around. at one point they turned into a snake that was transformed from an arrow that was shot by the evil king. afterword there was a man who was dressed as a horse danced around on burning coconut husks. i didnt really understand the reasoning but it was impressive all the same. We went to a bunch of different temples which were all very intricate. Harvested some rice with some old ladies who tried to charge me for it after. The s...

Than Tan Hotsprings - Hue

After an over night bus to the city Hue from Hanoi and checking into a hostel me and some people who were on the Halong Bay tour with me decided that we should do something with our day and that we were going to go to one of the hot springs just outside the city. We asked the lady that worked at our hostel and she said that she could book a taxi for us. We decided that we could get one cheaper somewhere else so we wandered down the street only to find out that we couldnt. So we went back to her and asked for the taxi again. 10 min later a minibus came to pick us up. We thought it would be better anyways because some taxi's cant be trusted and thought this was a safer option. The drive there was really long. we went through little villages and many dirt road. 45 min later we arrived at the hot springs. I read online that there would be some sort of entrance fee which we were fine with but once inside the building by the gate we thought something was off when it said it was 170...
