観光客には決して見せない、生のスリランカのローカル

Thank you. Bye. Oh, agreed. Happy. Okay. Okay. 
Let’s go. But it’s a crazy bus, isn’t it? Sleepy out there on the left hand side. Actually quite 
long. I think it’s been about 2 hours. My arm is   very, very numb. I would definitely say this is 
a proper hidden gem. Hi guys, welcome back. We’re on tour with Dridgers. If you’re new here, we’re a full-time 
travel couple from UK. We are currently in Ella in Sri Lanka. We’ve just spent the last couple 
of days here exploring, trying some amazing food,   seeing some waterfalls, but today is an epic 
travel day, isn’t it? Long travel day. Right, this is where we’re getting to. So, we want to go 
all the way down to Tis Tis, however you say that one. Tisamala. So, we need to travel all the way 
through here. We’re probably going to go to Botala first and then through the B-35, which is where we 
saw the epic elephants last time. Yeah, it’s all going to be done by public bus and stuff. So, it 
is a bit of trial and error and see what happens.   Um, it’s going to be adventure. It’s going to be 
a long travel day, but it’s hopefully it’s going to be worth it. We’re going to see some nature and 
great elephants. Yeah. And some local experiences as well. We’ve also got my sister, her husband, 
and my two nieces with us. So, it’s going to be   their first time experiencing all this, especially 
the public buses. They haven’t gone on them yet. Um, they’re waiting for us downstairs, and my 
sister’s probably going to cop in a minute. So,   we best get going. And we need to pay for this 
accommodation. Yeah. Yeah. Also, we um as well as enjoying great traditional breakfast this morning, 
we have we’ve been subject to these amazing views   the whole time we’ve been here. Truly, honestly, 
Ella is stunning. Oh, yeah. By the way, Rianne is proper winding up today. Like, every travel day 
we ever go on, she so stressed. Yeah, but we’re   in a rush and you’re turning around. Come on. 
It’s just been a numpty. As I say, on travel day, he gets all kidious and excited. Who else carries 
a bag like that? They fold it down as well. Like, come on. Don’t buy in. We’re going to a new place. 
So, we should be excited. Good morning. Morning. Oh. So, my sister was just staying a floor down. 
Look at that view. They got like a waterfall all the way over there. You ready? Mhm. Down the 
2,000 million stairs. Then, nine bags. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Yeah. Thank you. Bye. Bye. The only 
thing with a good view is you got 20,000 stairs to go down. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. 
Oh, nicest lady. Highly recommend staying here if you need somewhere in Ella. It’s just off the 
strip like a 20 minute walk. But the loveliest people, amazing breakfast and amazing views. Best 
breakfast. Best breakfast. Best breakfast. Yeah, it’s the best breakfast we’ve had in Sri 
Lanka so far. How far is the bus then? What price? Or we want 500, don’t we? That’s what 
we normally play to the bus. Bus stand. Yes. Yeah. You’re going to negotiate. Lot lot. You’re 
going to negotiate. We only We want 500 lot. Say we want 500 to the bus stop. Taking it. Yeah. And 
they could split it. Yeah. We two 500. Yeah. Don’t waste them. Chaos on these roads, but there’s a 
group of tuk tuks up here, so we should be able   to get one. Normally, we would just walk down, 
but obviously we got like 20 bags between us. Not really. I think we’re counting n now. Hello, 
match. Um, we need to go to the bus stand. Yeah. How much? Two buses. Two two tuks. Yeah. Not far. 
Not far. How much? 500. 500. Let’s go. Let’s go. Now, which two? Uh, you got the girls and 
the boys. Whatever. Yeah, same girl. Evelyn, what have you got? You got backpack 
there. Pass it here. Pass it here. Didn’t even have to barter. Scooby-Doo doo. I’ll put that on my 
lap in a minute. Grab Dolly. That’s it. Sure. He’s waving instant. [Music] Yeah. Sit. Thank you. Thank you. Go out. You take 
that and I’ll grab your bags. One more. Why not? I’ll see if he’s got change. You got change? No 
change? No. Oh, I have to wait for him. Huh? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For both Tuks. Thank you, my friend. 
11:00. 11:30. Direct bus. Direct bus. 11:30. No, it’s all right. We’re fine. So, we knew this 
would happen at the bus stop. There’s always tuk   tuk drivers and all that trying to negotiate take 
you there. But I think the bus is all part of the experience and traveling. What’s 15,000 now? It 
was about 50 quid a minute ago. 40 quid. Still 20 quid a per thing. And the bus is He’s saying 
the bus is about 3,000, but we’ve been on the   bus before. It’s literally pound. So, we double 
checked the time table for the buses. We took a picture the other day, but the one we want to 
get is 10:30. They’re telling us it’s not until   11:30. We knew that was going to happen. Oh, see, 
we’re one of them buses. That’s what I think we will be. Jodes nearly tripped. Last 16,000. 
No, no, we’re getting a bus. We want a bus. Yeah, perfect. All right, a quick break from 
the video. I have to show you something that just blows my mind. This tiny thing I’m holding, 
it’s actually the world’s first shape-shifting AI powered microphone. It’s called the Boyer Magic, 
and trust me, it lives up to its name. And look   at this. It fits inside a case barely bigger 
than a marker. Clip on, super lightweight, just 7 g. I’ve been using it all morning for 
B-rolls and ambient sound. Need something more dynamic? Snap it into the handheld grip. Perfect 
for street interviews or quick reactions. At home or streaming, pop it into desktop mode. Clean 
audio, no clutter. And when I’m filming like   this, the camera mounted mode keeps everything 
streamlined. Just plug it in and shoot. And yes, we’re literally filming this on the beach 
right now. Waves crashing pie me, jet skis   going past, but thanks to the built-in AI noise 
cancellation. My voice stays clear. No muffling, no background cries, just my beautiful voice. 
Here’s how it sounds in each mode. This is   with noise cancellation turned off. You see, 
you can hear the waves, the beach behind me, and here’s with the noise cancellation turned 
on. Crisp, clear sound, no studio, no tricks, just raw audio straight from the mic. Four pro 
mics in one. No extra gear, no extra cross, just the Boya Magic, one mic, four forms, 
marker size portability. If you’re into content creating like me, this thing is a game 
changer. A big thank you to Boya for sponsoring   this part of the video. Link below if you want 
to check it out. All right, go get behind you. Oh, wa. This going to be fun, isn’t it? [Music] All right, I’ll keep these ones here. Sit with 
Evelyn. No. Move along lies and then and then I’ll sit there. This is going to be fun, isn’t 
it? These buses go really fast as well. Bit of a squeeze. Yeah, I know. Jo and Carl got a 
seat together out there though. See the bus four. [Music] 350. One ticket. One ticket. 
350. One ticket. 350. Six 7 1,400 [Music] Thank you. 1,400. Thank you. 1,400 1,400 four of us on the bus. Four of us on 
the bus. But it’s a crazy bus, isn’t it? We got the door open still. The girls were 
like, “Are they going close?” I was like, “No,   we’re in shanka.” Right. Currently on the bus. 
I am literally jammed in between two people and Mr. Sleepy over there on the left hand side, but 
getting quite a lot of breeze. Windows obviously   open there. And also, we’ve got an open door 
there, but um these these buses get really full. There is a few empty seats, but somehow 
I’ve ended up in the middle of two people,   which is uh probably a bit of a tactical mistake 
by me, but guy next to me. Um yeah, he’s almost got and he started start started speaking to 
me and I’ll start the conversation like where   you from and stuff and he said he doesn’t speak 
English. So um a little bit uh on my own but when you look around it isn’t actually that busy. I 
thought it’d be worth right so this first bus we   get to Batala Tower and then we’re going to work 
out a way probably going through that B35 which is like a real famous road. Oh uh a little word 
of advice. So if you’re getting the when you get to Ella past Ella to get anywhere else apart from 
back to Candy there’s no trains. So you’ll have to get like this the local bus or private transport 
but you will when you’re waiting for your bus you will get a lot of offers for people like wanting 
to get taxis and stuff. And to be fair, the prices are not too bad. Um, and they do come they go 
quite high and then they come down a lot. Um, but obviously this even and and they do try 
telling you that the bus is cancelled or the bus is going to take much longer than what you 
think. So, don’t take what I’m trying to say is don’t take what they say as the absolute truth 
because it will be it will be a little bit like um bit sweaty, a little bit stressful, but it’s 
it’s all right. It’s all good. You look around, everyone’s sat down. There’s no one standing. 
They said that we’ll be standing for the whole   trip. But yeah, managed to get a seat. Obviously, 
not all together, but um we’re on our way. [Music] 50 quid, isn’t it? It is better than 50 quid. I 
generally feel like a um a walking pillow at the moment. You lost me. You got Yeah. So, earlier 
it was that man sleeping me and now it’s Evelyn asleep with me. I don’t care. Right. Bus is 
getting empty now. Actually got Rian sat with us again. Moved up here from the back. Not too 
bad, is it? That’s right. That’s right. Halfway. Yeah. Well, I said earlier though, I think the 
guy there does a bit of scare mongering. Like he was saying like, “Oh, we’re going to be standing 
up the whole way. It’s going to take four hours.”   It’s literally took I reckon this has took how 
long? What? Hour? Hour and a half. Not even been on there an hour. Yeah, we’ve not even been on 
an hour and we’re over halfway now. Are we well   away? Yeah. Yeah. So, we are we’re already past 
well away. So, yeah, definitely the local bus is fine. It’s quite organized as well. You got this 
guy out here. He’s doing all he’s doing all the   tickets collecting and people come on here then 
they’re selling um like barers and snacks and fruit and the bus terminal. Yeah, it’s the bigger 
bus terminals some people jump on. So, it’s a bit like being on the train. It’s um it’s quite good. 
It’s a good experience. Is a little bit hot there   but with all the window all the windows are open 
and it’s um gives you a little breeze. [Music] That window noise your hair going on your face. 
All right, I think we’re coming into our first stop. We’re at the Tala. I think it’s going to 
be like a bus terminal. Oh, he’s putting in here,   I think. Just up. Our bags are in the back boot. 
So, we need to look stop. Oh, yeah. It’s a proper bus terminal. That’s all right then. And then 
we got to work out how to get along the B35. So, we’re going to take the girls along there. We 
might try and get a tuk tuk. If we can get it   for a good price, we’ll get a tuk tuk. I do love 
the local buses. Definitely worth it. I feel like a tuk tuk would be the most authentic experience 
to see the elephants and stuff cuz obviously if you watched our channel before, we when Rian drove 
the tuk tuk, we actually saw an elephant down that road and that would love two elephants. Yeah. 
I’d love to experience that um with the girls   and that’d be cool. Yeah, Ben, we’re getting 
off. All right, we got grab. Ready? Stink pot. No. You going to stay in the bus? Look at 
your ass. I’m comfortable. You com You’re comfortable. Yeah. That looks comfortable. Don’t 
know where their parents are. Don’t know where you two’s parents are. I don’t know how me and 
Ben’s got you. I don’t know. Oh, there they are. Jo, I’m going to stand over with the girls 
if you grab the bags. Ly, come with me. Oh my god, it’s hot here. Not over me. Oh god, we’re at bus terminal. We can work this 
out easily. I’m hoping I’m hoping someone with a tuk tuk comes up and approaches us 
and tries to negotiate and then we can   maybe get one of them. You all right? Was 
that all right? How was it? It’s hot here, isn’t it? Right. Let’s go and see if we 
can get a good price cuz obviously uh   Kiss the Gamma is quite a long way away. 
Um, and no tourists for not giving the tourists a good price. Hello. Hello, boss. 
I want to go to Tisama. Tisama. Tama. Uh, this one. Tisama. Yes. Tisumara. I can’t say. Yeah. How 
much would it be? for 35. [Music] So, and we want two vents. 7,000. 7,000,000. Too 
much. We want two tuk tuks. Can you do two tuk tuks? Two people. How many people? 
Six. Six. Two. Two tuk tuk tuk. 5,000. No. No. No. All right. We’ll do the bus 
then. Yeah. Bus. Fixed price. fix. Oh, it’s all right. We’ll do a bus. Bus. Thank 
you. Yeah, it’s a little bit like expensive.   We didn’t really want to pay more like 5,000 
and000. Yeah. And he didn’t really want a buzz. I think it’s a long way to come and if 
they got to come back with an empty tuk tuk.   Maybe not. We’ll just get a bus. Yeah. I know 
for sure obviously when they say fixed price, there’s no such thing as a fixed price. So, um 
maybe we don’t know. What we do? Try somewhere else. Yeah. Maybe we’ll cross the road. Try 
it. Yeah. Should we find out about a bus just in case? Yeah. Right. Just asked the bus station 
and they said it’s going to be another hour and a half for Yeah. for a bus. So, we’re going to 
go round and try these tuk tuks and see who will give us the best price. I’m sure someone 
will give us a good price. Hello, Machan.   Hello. Hello. Um I want to go to uh Tis Rama. 
It’s quite far. Uh this one here. We need two. Yes. Yes. Yeah. How much? We need two two touks. Two touks. There’s six of us. Six. Two. 
Two. Two kids. Four adults. 60. Six people. 60. probably UFC has one come sort out. Yeah. Two. Yeah. There’s six. Six of us. Two kids. Same. Too much. Yeah. No. 5,000. No. Huh? Yeah. Little bit. Two vehicles. Do you mean 7,000 total? No. Should we just get 
a bus then? Yeah. 1,000 1 m. 7,000 7,000. Two vehicles. 14,000. No, it’s all right. We’ll get 
a bus then. Thank you. Yeah, we’ll wait. Thank   you. Yeah, they’re not budging. That literally 
not budging on that. I do think it’s a long way. Don’t know. Don’t pick me. I thought maybe it’s a 
better price than there. It’s actually 8,000. So, I’m actually are thinking maybe we should do 
it. 7,000. It’s not,000 less. Not a bad price. You want to do it then? 7,000. Yeah. Yeah. 
Right. Let’s try one more. I’m going to try and go for 6,000 cuz we’ve got the actual 
correct change and if they go for it then we do 6,000 because Yeah. We don’t have the we 
don’t have the cash. So 6,000 will go. We go now. [Applause] We don’t have We don’t have the 
cash. 6,000 is all we have. It’s all we have. The old beetle. Two tuk tuks. 12,000. Two touk touks. 2,000. 6,500. Two touk touks. 13,000. 6 6,500. Yes. [Applause] Agreed. Happy. 
Okay. Okay. Let’s go. Go there. 6,500. One. One. Tuk tuk. 6,500. That’s the best I could 
get. Right. Yeah. We’re going to go for it. Um,   they are actually waiting for us. So, we 
we’ve got a deal like in between what they wanted and what we wanted. So, I’m happy with 
that. Uh trying to find our accommodation. So,   hope they drive us there. Yeah. I hope 
so. This one? This one? Yeah. Ready? This one? Yeah. Jody’s team leader. Make sure it’s 
all right. Come on. Lots. Don’t talk to Teddy. So, 13 13,000. You’re with the boys. with the cows. 6,500 6,500. Yes. Yes. We’re 
going this one. Okay. Hello, baby. You showing accommodation? Yeah. So, 
so helpful. Do you want one by our legs? We’re off. We’re off. I’m not really sure how 
long this journey is going to take. All right, we quickly stopped at the petrol station to 
top up. There’s the gang behind us. Right. Ready to get on the road, I think. Yep. Good 
drivers. Even waiting for them, so we will   stick together. But should be about an hour and 
a half journey. It is so hot in it. How hot is it? The temperature is wild hot. At least it’s 
not like you can be mad when it’s cold. I know. [Music] We see loads of signs of poo 
but no elephants. There is elephants here. Definitely somewhere. Where 
are they? I didn’t see something. Do you think there was one there? All right, we’re about 10 minutes from 
our foundation. We’ve just pulled over. I think the check in where it is. Some 
reason that one’s always in the front and that one’s behind. I think the men 
should be in the front. I’m tired now. Actually quite long. I think it’s been 
about 2 hours. My bum’s very very numb. Oh. Right after all that, we’ve actually arrived. 
We did obviously end up giving them 7,000. I know like it might seem like I’m mega tight, which 
I am, but um yeah, but they they deserved the tip because they literally took us right to our 
hotel door, drove in the in the gates, and yeah, they’re proper top top lads, which actually 
clock this. They’ve only got one lime beer. Oh,   there’s two. Yeah, going to need to stock up. 
First impressions though, very nice. Nice pool. Nice like family run place. They always are. It is 
so hot today. So hot. So hot today. Even for me, it’s hot. Even for you, it’s hot. England. Okay. I 
hope you enjoy Sri Lanka. Thank you. We’re loving it. Loving it. No, it’s hot today. Have you been 
before? This is first time. They’ve been before. We three times. It’s our third time. This is our 
first. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Very recently you came or uh we come two years ago and three years 
ago. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. So then there’s no different for you. We come during um the crisis 
when they were rioting in Columbbo and stuff. Remember? Yeah. We we come we come there. The 
petrol process and Yeah. The petrol when there   there was no fuel it was very different. It 
very different. Yeah. It was very different. Yeah. When we give them the extra 500 they were 
like so they were proper chauffed. But yeah,   look at this. These um you look to B and then you 
um pay the price anyway. Yeah. For sure. Yeah, it’s just a bit of fun. This is a uh a Royce 
field. Yeah, my uncle has uh 90 acres of rice fields in in Thailand, so that’s why I know 
this is rice. Thank you very much. Yeah,   thank you. So, sir, welcome. Sri Lankan 
hospitality. It’s the best. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, thank you, mango. Got one upstairs and one downstairs. 
Have we? We’ll go downstairs. That’s   why. Yeah. Yeah. That’s a bigger room 
though. Is that a little bit salty? Oh, I think that’s the same. Two two 
family rooms. Yeah, it’s fine. Tastes salty to me. Yeah. 
Yeah. Weird. Mango and salt. Isn’t it? It’s weird, isn’t it? I love it. 
It’s good, but strange. Beautiful view. Wow, look at that. Amazing. So, 
this is your this outside. Oh, shoes. Water. Always shoes. fridge. Oh, wow. Okay. Fridge to coffee. And what is this? Usually warm. Yeah. But if you 
want more hot water, this Yeah. switch there. Yeah. Okay. We got a cold shower. Yeah, probably. 
Wow. This is lovely. It’s everything. So nice. So, we’ve just left the gang in the hotel to play 
in the pool, but we’re going to walk to shop,   get like an ice cold coke, some crisp and snacks 
just to keep us going until dinner in the evening. Our hotel is actually doing us food, which is 
amazing. So, we don’t have to worry. There’s   nothing really. There’s little shops around 
here, but you won’t find like restaurants and all that like in LA. Yeah, we’re quite rural. 
Yeah, it’s what we wanted. A bit more local,   but this temperature is at 35°. And even the guy 
that works there said this is too hot for him. So, I think it’s quite mental today. I did actually 
find out a little bit of information about the   hotel because this hotel is quite hard. Well, 
quite hard to find any information. It’s a bit of an unknown one, a little bit out of the area, 
out the way. Um, we are getting, like Rian said, a proper local experience here, but he did 
tell me that he doesn’t actually own a hotel.   The hotel is actually owned by a guy from Belgium 
who, you know, behind the scene doesn’t even visit the hotel, but he runs safaris and stuff 
on the side and runs the hotel as well. So, he pretty much does everything. And the guy 
in Bel in Belgium is just the money man. Yeah, the cash man. Yeah. Money. Yeah. Yeah, for 
sure. But, um, yeah, but there’s honestly the   hospitality in this country, unbelievable. So, 
they’re so lovely. But we’re stupidly going for a walk. I really regret this. Is he? I think it 
was up there, Ben. That way. No. We come from a up here cuz remember we saw the sign. Oh yeah, 
this way. Yeah, it’s Peacock. Oh yeah. Oh my   god. Random peacock on the road. Hello. Come 
to Food City. Come to Food City. Food City. Oh yes. Oh, this is a bit better. 
Snacks. Snacks. Snacks. All right, let’s get some washing. Hello. Need some washing 
powder cuz we’re running out of underwear. We’re   starting to stink. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Another 
one. There’s two of them. It’s everywhere. Washing powder. Hello. Hello. Hello. Bowen. All 
right. Should get some crackers. Pick some snacks, Ben. Uh I don’t know these them. Yeah. Go 
for whatever they are. Uh oh. Cavani chips. Everyone’s helping. Thank 
you. Whole family. Yeah. Hold. Thank you. That one’s for you. Everyone 
for Ben. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your help. Bye. Bye. Goodbye. 2,000. Wow. 
We thought uh Yeah. 2,000 for two bags worth. But we thought that was a one of the big 
food cities, but it was a little fake one.   All right. Real real nice. Hello. We’re like 
walking around like aliens. Everyone’s like, “Oh my god.” Yeah. They definitely don’t 
get tourists here. No. Which is what we   love. Get over. Proper local area. Bye. 
Bye. Bye, boys. Bye-bye. Hello. Hey. All the lads. All the lads are out. These 
are the ones that said to me earlier I don’t know. Hello. Hello. What’s your name? 
Ben. What’s your name? Janiro. Janu. Nice to meet you. Good name. Hello. 
Hello. Accommodation resort hotel. Okay. Bye. Byebye. Bye. So nice like 
seeing this rural villages and small towns and stuff because you don’t see a lot 
of it. And I know it’s like we had to get a tuk tuk halfway across the bloody country and 
it took ages. Literally took 2 hours but it’s worth it because you had to see a bit more 
things that we don’t normally see. [Music] I would definitely say this is a proper hidden 
gem. Tissa Maharama. Definitely recommend it. Check it out. So, a host told us earlier on that 
there’s some fruit bats not far from here. So, he just messaged us and said, “Be ready for 
540 and I’ll take you to go and see them.” So,   supposedly at sunset, as you can see, it’s 
certain now um they look all fly off and it’s a really cool experience. So, just going to 
get the others and um set off down there. I’m guessing he’s taking us there, lifting, giving 
us a lift or something. How beautiful is this   place? Look at it. This is probably one of the 
best accommodations I’ve ever stayed in. Oh, hello, little man. Okay. Okay. Thank you. 
Uh should we go in the back? Oh my god. You get four in it. Yeah. Right absolut my eye. I literally keep getting whipped 
to my face with every different branch. Yeah, it’s true. Yeah. Ow. Bump my head. Cheers. Oh, thanks, Ben. How’d you get down there? And one more blow it up. 
Thanks, C. Right. So, you can see them all in the trees. So, these are like nocturnal animals and 
they will hunt at night. And the reason they hunt at night is because they got no other competition 
from other predators. And it’s cooler. And it’s cooler. Yeah, it absolutely work. You You’ve done 
your research. But all these trees here covered in   it. You did it. Oh, and that one. Yeah, that one 
too. So, as soon as the sun goes down a bit more, they’re all going to fly off. Yeah, you can see 
them there. They’re sort of Look, they’re sort of   jittering about getting getting ready to go. They 
obviously know that the sun is about to set. Yeah. Literally minutes away. The reason we’re really 
here, we’re actually looking for the wine shop   and we’re just googling to see how far away it is. 
Jody just reminded me. She went, “Open the open wine shops near.” Like that’s all we think of. Is 
it close? 2 minutes in the jeep. 2 minutes in the jeep. 11 minute walk. Yeah. Well, we’ll give him 
a shout before he goes back and um get pick us up some beers. Oh, you go. It’s starting to make 
noises now. Yeah. Whoa. So, we’ve noticed some have got brown and some have got black heads. 
So, I Googled it and they are called they are a certain type of fruit bat and they’re called 
like the flying fox and they’re the largest bats but they have a wingspan of 1.7 m and they’re the 
largest largest species of bats. But I am getting a bit stir crazy. I’m waiting for them to go and 
they’re just being a bit lazy, aren’t they? I know   they’re going to all go at once or what? I think 
they’re going to go like individually like in in a moment of time. So, fruit bats are actually 
different from other bats. So, instead of living   in caves, they actually live in trees like we 
can see in front of us, but they have very strong family bonds and they live in comic colonies. So, 
they hang basically they hang around with their   family all the time and they like like monkeys and 
stuff. They groom each other and they’re very like touchy. Whereas other bats are very independent 
and they live in caves. Look at them now. Loads of them. Wa! Oh, they’re all coming in our bed. 
All of them coming out. Just invited us onto the   roof. Oh, wow. It’s like a sitting area. Yeah. So, 
we can see all the bats flying over. They could turn us into like a bar, couldn’t they? Could 
do, couldn’t they? For the barbecue area. Oh, could well do of a bar up here. Proper beautiful. 
Here you go guys. Some bats. Yeah, bats there. As we were driving back as well, you could just see 
loads and loads of bats. So, we’re just heading   to dinner now. We arranged for 7:00 and it’s now 
7:00. So, we’re going around there. There was only a choice of like noodles or rice, either veggie or 
chicken. I bet you got like poms and all that over there. And I can imagine it being very good.
