"Melodramatic music"

4
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:51,900
hey guys! How are you

5
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,800
so I hope you enjoyed our last video same 
as me

6
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:01,700
and for this video we're at

7
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,600
a place called Banyuwangi

8
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:11,500
we're staying at a local hostel and they 
welcomed us warmly

9
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,400
and showed our rooms and their hospitality 
was great

10
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:21,300
so as you see from my background

11
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,200
That’s the entrance of the hostel

12
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:31,100
we're ready for the next adventure after 
getting up and finished the daily common 
morning rituals

13
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,000
in this video we'll see a volcano called 
Ijen

14
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:40,900
we just saw from the top in last video now 
we’ll climb down and see deeper

15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,800
and we'll see the hardships of the local 
workers

16
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:50,700
if I'm not excited, I assure that you'll

17
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,600
I'll explain about this hostel,

18
00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:00,500
they charge 350 Rs per day

19
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,400
it's different from usual hostels and their 
coffee and hospitality was top notch

20
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:10,300
it was so helpful and if you visit[UNKNOWN 
WORD]

21
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,200
they have many plans

22
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:20,100
they will escort you for tour and will safely 
return here after that

23
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,000
you can try those package, we'll talk about 
that and before that there is a traditional 
dance around here

24
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:29,900
They offered us to bring there

25
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,800
it will happen only from noon to evening, 
do you know whip, our local people will use 
in diety dances

26
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:39,700
they will use that thing to dance, I think 
it will be different

27
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,600
I'll introduce you to the owners they’re 
couples also

28
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:49,500
[UNKNOWN WORD]say Hi to my video, -Hi how 
are you?

29
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,400
they're good hopefully, your good name? -Aboose

30
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:59,300
your name? -Aini, so they're very helpful 
and

31
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,200
this place is very neat and if you visit 
here you should stay here, it will be helpful

32
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:09,100
I'm suggesting your place, -Thank you very 
much(both)

33
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,000
he is going to bring us to the Ijen crater 
tonight!

34
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:18,900
Before that we'll go for the dance thing

35
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,800
so I hope that

36
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:28,700
we'll watch and learn some things from the 
dance and then

37
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,400
we'll merge into the video

38
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:47,100
"peppy music"

39
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,000
I saw many terrific performances there

40
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:56,900
you may saw that, they’re trying to bite 
us

41
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,800
they're known as djinn, it's like a possession 
thing

42
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:06,700
they will act like tiger and lion to attack 
and many will

43
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,300
push us to them as it’s believed that if 
you get a bite you'll get rid of your karmas

44
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,200
there is a wedding ceremony and they have 
arranged everything here

45
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,100
look at the crowd in the street

46
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:27,000
"peppy music"

47
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:31,900
no foreign visiters usually attended these 
kind of local events so

48
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,100
they gave warm welcome for me and another 
fellow tourist Tim from Netherlands

49
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,000
they invited us to their houses and gave 
tea

50
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:47,900
we spent 3-4 hours there and time went so 
quickly

51
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,800
those 3 hours we received care from those 
small boys and local people

52
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:56,000
"peppy music"

53
00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,900
it was around 4-5 PM when the event ended

54
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,800
after that, I freshened up and then changed 
my dress

55
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,700
time is 11.30 PM now

56
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,600
our journey is starting from 12'o clock to 
Mt Ijen

57
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:20,500
we packed our things, not only me, there 
are some other people

58
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,900
they will travel with us I guess

59
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,600
"Uplifting music"

60
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:38,500
so this is the start of our expedition to 
Mt Ijen

61
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,400
time is 1.30 PM and we left from the

62
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:48,300
van arranged by the hostel, I thought me 
and Tim was the sole travellers but

63
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,200
we picked up many tourists along the way 
and

64
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:58,100
resumed our journey, this van contained people 
from 7 countries like

65
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,000
India, Philippines, Netherland, England, 
Brazil etc

66
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:07,900
we finally went for the expedition

67
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,800
guys now we're at the starting point and

68
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:17,700
It’s been 2 hours since we have left the 
place

69
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,600
I'm feeling so cold and I'm also no wearing 
any jacket

70
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:27,500
we need to wait here and then

71
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,400
they will start trekking in 2.30 am

72
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:37,300
all are wearing jackets and I'm the only 
exception

73
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,300
I need to suffer for that

74
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,200
this is the starting point for Mt Ijen

75
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:51,100
they will make us to be prepared with some 
things which they will tell us

76
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,000
the things we need are, first a headlight 
as the path will be dark

77
00:06:56,100 --> 00:07:00,900
so they will give one headlamp and one torch

78
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,800
also when we're getting closer we'll feel 
more sulpher smell in air so to avoid breathing 
problems

79
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,700
they will provide a gas mask

80
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,600
after 10-15 minutes all are talking well 
and also mingled with us

81
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:20,500
we have a group and own instructor, before 
starting this midnight trip

82
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,400
our guide will mention the safety guidelines

83
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:30,300
so that no one will overtake everyone or 
nobody should left behind the tail of the 
line

84
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,200
so let's start our midnight trekking

85
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:41,800
I think this is more challenging than mount 
bromo, isn’t it?

86
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:46,700
there was no cold climate, -even though it 
was raining the weather was not chill there

87
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,600
here there is no rain but still cold is at 
its peak

88
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:56,500
I'm managing with sweat and the bag I'm carrying

89
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,400
makes me slightly warm, but don’t forget 
to wear jacket in these areas

90
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:06,300
we went in group in the start, after a while 
some climbed too fast

91
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,200
and some started slowly with me

92
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:16,100
if you can't climb there is a taxi service 
for you and it’s not a car taxi

93
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,000
it's like a pull cart used in construction 
works

94
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:25,900
they will carry you in that cart to the top

95
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,800
head torch is essential, the darkness is 
pitch black here

96
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:35,700
so having each step is tough, guys in the 
front climbed easily

97
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,600
we gathered after each resting point then 
moved the next phase

98
00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:45,100


99
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,000
it's very hard for a single day but the local 
workers

100
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:54,900
who do mining works will climb up and down 
daily

101
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,800
that too in midnight, it's so steep

102
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:04,700
I'm so happy now, because

103
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,600
guys also removing their jackets as it's 
sweating now

104
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:14,500
they said we crossed half the mark, but it 
may be a consoling word

105
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,400


106
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:24,300
this place is so flat without any bump or 
steep

107
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,200
so it's easy to climb and sulphur odour is 
so strong here

108
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:34,100
as we climbed up we will lack in oxygen so

109
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,000
that breath in effect allows the odour to 
pass nostrils, look here it's smoky

110
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:43,900
I think now is the time to wear mask

111
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,800


112
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:53,700
can you see the mist over there

113
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,600
that's the mist from sulphur

114
00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:03,500
Everyone is started to wear masks

115

[SPEAKER NOISE][SPEAKER NOISE]

116
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:14,100
the path we're walking almost plain and flat

117
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,000
but due to the tiredness of climbing some 
followed me while using those taxis

118
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:23,900
we'll enter the next stage of this midnight 
trekking that is

119
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,800
we'll climb down into this crater

120
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:33,700
my eyes are burning while wearing this mask

121
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,600

[SPEAKER NOISE][UNKNOWN WORD]

125
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,200
before climbing down into the crater, the 
respective guides of each group will ask 
you whether you can climb down or not

126
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:02,100
because it's hard to climb back once you 
climbed down, still

127
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,000
climbing in those smoke will take some time, 
each guide holded the hand of their members 
and

128
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:11,900
gradually help us to climb down, we need 
to take each and every step carefully

129
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,800
if you make a small mistake you may fall 
and have injuries by contacting with rocks

130
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:21,700
I stood on edges while taking videos, even 
if I’m confident

131
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,000

135
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,600
finally we reached the crater where they 
extract the sulphur

136
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:49,500
after we reached this place we saw a beautiful 
thing that is

137
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,400
this Blue flame, this mountain emits extreme 
levels of sulphuric gases

138
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:59,300
that too with unimaginable pressure and with 
600 degree Celsius

139
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,200
this is caused by volcano and

140
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:09,100
when it exposed with oxygen it will burn 
and

141
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,000
that looks like a blue flame and you can 
see

142
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:18,900
the flow is emitting blue hue and it's an 
amazzing sight

143
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,800
I was astonished to witness this thing

144
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:33,800
"calm music"

145
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:38,700
look how much smoke, you can't even see here

146
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,600
I can't even breath while having this mask

147
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:48,500
look it's not visible, I don’t know how they 
work here

148
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,400
and after the hardships

149
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:58,300
they only get 300-350 Rs for each basket

150
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,200
this is unforgettable experience in life

151
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:08,100
so do try to experience if you time

152
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:13,000
first we'll see what are the use cases of 
sulphur

153
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:17,900
it has many uses, our body's proteins and 
amino acids contains sulphur

154
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,800
it's in minerals and in ladies makeup materials

155
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:27,700
car batteries, washing detergents, bleaching 
powders

156
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,600
cement, pesticides and gun powder

157
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:37,500
also contains sulphur

158
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,400
so guess the demand for the sulpher, not 
only in this place many places surrounding 
this mountain

159
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:47,300
is used to mione sulpher by 100-150 workers 
daily

160
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,200
I told you how strong the gas is when I climbed 
up

161
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:54,400
so guess how the workers feel near these 
fumes

162
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:59,300
for a example if you inhale the smoke after 
burning a egg omelette.

163
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,200
it will that kind of strong in smell, I think 
it will look cool from the top

164
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:09,100
when we climbed down there smoke was like 
this only

165
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,000
the blue flame was cooled down by stream 
of water

166
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:18,900
from pressured pipes,

167
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,800
tube like structures are there and they’re 
breaking those and brings here

168
00:14:23,900 --> 00:14:28,700
look his boots is full of water, he is disposing 
water

169
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,600
I don't know how they work here

170
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:38,500
my throat is in severe pain and breathing 
is hard just for few minutes

171
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,400
it's a big thing to work here for low wages

172
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:48,300
two gases will emitted via this crater, one 
is sulphur

173
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,200
the direct gas emits from earth is very toxic 
and

174
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:58,100
if cloudy gas formed from this blueish lake 
they will immediately evacuate

175
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,000
because it's too dangerous as it's pH level 
is

176
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:07,900
equal to the acid in our car batteries

177
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,800
their life expectancy is 50-60 only because

178
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:17,700
their lungs and digestive system is affected 
in long term by working here

179
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,600
many will face headache and stomachaches, 
even it's hard they will do this job for 
their survival

180
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:27,500
it was shared by one worker, look at the 
shoulder of this worker

181
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,400
the nature of the skin is changed due to 
the daily work

182
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:37,300
superb view and I wasn’t realised while climbing 
down in dark

183
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,200
look from here, the geographical structure 
is

184
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:47,100
this formation is the wonder of nature

185
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,300
the demand for sulphur is high

186
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,200
1 kg sulpher gets 1 USD so instead of leading 
small amount

187
00:15:56,300 --> 00:16:01,100
they usually fill 80-90 Kgs in that basket

188
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,000
it's very hard and

189
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:10,900
this surface looks stripes like texture at 
the top

190
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,800
it's looks like erosion due to rain and sea 
wave

191
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:20,700
it looks different and beautiful as seen 
in national geographic channel

192
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,600
I watched when I was young and now I'm seeing 
after growing big

193
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:30,500
actually they made small toys from sulphur 
for sale as souvenirs

194
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,400
so we can buy these

195
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:40,300
and can gift to our loved ones

196
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:47,600
in Indonesia if you’re a diabetic patient 
it's very hard for you

197
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:52,500
because everything is sweet here, I like 
sweet too much

198
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,400
and I'm also not miss to eat cake, bun and 
sweet drinks

199
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:02,300
as I'm thirsty now, I'll drink this milo 
which I already brought

200
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,200
I like milo from childhood

201
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:12,100
our fellow group stopped here for sometime

202
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,000
now they're climbing down

203
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:21,900
we'll ask them about the trekking as it’s 
first time for everyone

204
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,800
it will be a new experience I guess

205
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:31,700
-my experience was very good! this is amazng 
man!

206
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,600

207
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:40,000

fantastic with nice people !

211
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,400

, right? - oh sure!

213

He’s our guide and he brought ourselves here, 
introduce yourself

214
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,600
-my name is sulei, Our group name is also 
sulei

215
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:13,500
whenever we get lost we'll shout his name

216
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,400
and he will be there for guide us, thank 
you for the day! we enjoyed it

217
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:23,300
Thank you welcome and again thanks!

218
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,200
Thank you! Thank you!....

219
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:33,100
we're waiting for some people, they’re still 
behind

220
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,000
how is it for you?, -it’s good

221
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:42,900
[SPEAKER NOISE] he's shy, a little

222
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
[BACKGROUND NOISE]

223
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:51,900
we're back to the hostel and they made breakfast 
for us

224
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,800
I'm so hungry, let's eat

225
00:18:56,900 --> 00:19:01,400
my eyes are sleepy now

226
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:07,600
"calm music"

227
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:12,500
so this breakfasts are included in package, 
but never expected this to be this good

228
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,400
so after eating fruits

229
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:22,300
and tofu, it's like paneer

230
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,200
samosos and sauce

231
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:32,100
they wrapped this to minimise heat loss, 
it's clean and jasmine tea is here

232
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,000
I'm so hungry

233
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:41,900
I hope you'll also enjoy this video by eating 
like this

234
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,800
I'll post the next video even better and 
cool

235
00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:51,700
