00:52.0
00:56.8
so I hope you enjoyed our last video same as me
00:56.9
01:01.7
and for this video we're at
01:01.8
01:06.6
a place called Banyuwangi
01:06.7
01:11.5
we're staying at a local hostel and they welcomed us warmly
01:11.6
01:16.4
and showed our rooms and their hospitality was great
01:16.5
01:21.3
so as you see from my background
01:21.4
01:26.2
That’s the entrance of the hostel
01:26.3
01:31.1
we're ready for the next adventure after getting up and finished the daily common morning rituals
01:31.2
01:36.0
in this video we'll see a volcano called Ijen
01:36.1
01:40.9
we just saw from the top in last video now we’ll climb down and see deeper
01:41.0
01:45.8
and we'll see the hardships of the local workers
01:45.9
01:50.7
if I'm not excited, I assure that you'll
01:50.8
01:55.6
I'll explain about this hostel,
01:55.7
02:00.5
they charge 350 Rs per day
02:00.6
02:05.4
it's different from usual hostels and their coffee and hospitality was top notch
02:05.5
02:10.3
it was so helpful and if you visit[UNKNOWN WORD]
02:10.4
02:15.2
they have many plans
02:15.3
02:20.1
they will escort you for tour and will safely return here after that
02:20.2
02:25.0
you can try those package, we'll talk about that and before that there is a traditional dance around here
02:25.1
02:29.9
They offered us to bring there
02:30.0
02:34.8
it will happen only from noon to evening, do you know whip, our local people will use in diety dances
02:34.9
02:39.7
they will use that thing to dance, I think it will be different
02:39.8
02:44.6
I'll introduce you to the owners they’re couples also
02:44.7
02:49.5
[UNKNOWN WORD]say Hi to my video, -Hi how are you?
02:49.6
02:54.4
they're good hopefully, your good name? -Aboose
02:54.5
02:59.3
your name? -Aini, so they're very helpful and
02:59.4
03:04.2
this place is very neat and if you visit here you should stay here, it will be helpful
03:04.3
03:09.1
I'm suggesting your place, -Thank you very much(both)
03:09.2
03:14.0
he is going to bring us to the Ijen crater tonight!
03:14.1
03:18.9
Before that we'll go for the dance thing
03:19.0
03:23.8
so I hope that
03:23.9
03:28.7
we'll watch and learn some things from the dance and then
03:28.8
03:32.4
we'll merge into the video
03:32.5
03:47.1
"peppy music"
03:47.2
03:52.0
I saw many terrific performances there
03:52.1
03:56.9
you may saw that, they’re trying to bite us
03:57.0
04:01.8
they're known as djinn, it's like a possession thing
04:01.9
04:06.7
they will act like tiger and lion to attack and many will
04:06.8
04:10.3
push us to them as it’s believed that if you get a bite you'll get rid of your karmas
04:10.4
04:15.2
there is a wedding ceremony and they have arranged everything here
04:15.3
04:19.1
look at the crowd in the street
04:19.2
04:27.0
"peppy music"
04:27.1
04:31.9
no foreign visiters usually attended these kind of local events so
04:32.0
04:38.1
they gave warm welcome for me and another fellow tourist Tim from Netherlands
04:38.2
04:43.0
they invited us to their houses and gave tea
04:43.1
04:47.9
we spent 3-4 hours there and time went so quickly
04:48.0
04:52.8
those 3 hours we received care from those small boys and local people
04:52.9
04:56.0
"peppy music"
04:56.1
05:00.9
it was around 4-5 PM when the event ended
05:01.0
05:05.8
after that, I freshened up and then changed my dress
05:05.9
05:10.7
time is 11.30 PM now
05:10.8
05:15.6
our journey is starting from 12'o clock to Mt Ijen
05:15.7
05:20.5
we packed our things, not only me, there are some other people
05:20.6
05:24.9
they will travel with us I guess
05:25.0
05:33.6
"Uplifting music"
05:33.7
05:38.5
so this is the start of our expedition to Mt Ijen
05:38.6
05:43.4
time is 1.30 PM and we left from the
05:43.5
05:48.3
van arranged by the hostel, I thought me and Tim was the sole travellers but
05:48.4
05:53.2
we picked up many tourists along the way and
05:53.3
05:58.1
resumed our journey, this van contained people from 7 countries like
05:58.2
06:03.0
India, Philippines, Netherland, England, Brazil etc
06:03.1
06:07.9
we finally went for the expedition
06:08.0
06:12.8
guys now we're at the starting point and
06:12.9
06:17.7
It’s been 2 hours since we have left the place
06:17.8
06:22.6
I'm feeling so cold and I'm also no wearing any jacket
06:22.7
06:27.5
we need to wait here and then
06:27.6
06:32.4
they will start trekking in 2.30 am
06:32.5
06:37.3
all are wearing jackets and I'm the only exception
06:37.4
06:41.3
I need to suffer for that
06:41.4
06:46.2
this is the starting point for Mt Ijen
06:46.3
06:51.1
they will make us to be prepared with some things which they will tell us
06:51.2
06:56.0
the things we need are, first a headlight as the path will be dark
06:56.1
07:00.9
so they will give one headlamp and one torch
07:01.0
07:05.8
also when we're getting closer we'll feel more sulpher smell in air so to avoid breathing problems
07:05.9
07:10.7
they will provide a gas mask
07:10.8
07:15.6
after 10-15 minutes all are talking well and also mingled with us
07:15.7
07:20.5
we have a group and own instructor, before starting this midnight trip
07:20.6
07:25.4
our guide will mention the safety guidelines
07:25.5
07:30.3
so that no one will overtake everyone or nobody should left behind the tail of the line
07:30.4
07:35.2
so let's start our midnight trekking
07:35.9
07:41.8
I think this is more challenging than mount bromo, isn’t it?
07:41.9
07:46.7
there was no cold climate, -even though it was raining the weather was not chill there
07:46.8
07:51.6
here there is no rain but still cold is at its peak
07:51.7
07:56.5
I'm managing with sweat and the bag I'm carrying
07:56.6
08:01.4
makes me slightly warm, but don’t forget to wear jacket in these areas
08:01.5
08:06.3
we went in group in the start, after a while some climbed too fast
08:06.4
08:11.2
and some started slowly with me
08:11.3
08:16.1
if you can't climb there is a taxi service for you and it’s not a car taxi
08:16.2
08:21.0
it's like a pull cart used in construction works
08:21.1
08:25.9
they will carry you in that cart to the top
08:26.0
08:30.8
head torch is essential, the darkness is pitch black here
08:30.9
08:35.7
so having each step is tough, guys in the front climbed easily
08:35.8
08:40.6
we gathered after each resting point then moved the next phase
08:45.2
08:50.0
it's very hard for a single day but the local workers
08:50.1
08:54.9
who do mining works will climb up and down daily
08:55.0
08:59.8
that too in midnight, it's so steep
08:59.9
09:04.7
I'm so happy now, because
09:04.8
09:09.6
guys also removing their jackets as it's sweating now
09:09.7
09:14.5
they said we crossed half the mark, but it may be a consoling word
09:19.5
09:24.3
this place is so flat without any bump or steep
09:24.4
09:29.2
so it's easy to climb and sulphur odour is so strong here
09:29.3
09:34.1
as we climbed up we will lack in oxygen so
09:34.2
09:39.0
that breath in effect allows the odour to pass nostrils, look here it's smoky
09:39.1
09:43.9
I think now is the time to wear mask
09:48.9
09:53.7
can you see the mist over there
09:53.8
09:58.6
that's the mist from sulphur
09:58.7
10:03.5
Everyone is started to wear masks
10:03.6
10:08.4
[SPEAKER NOISE][SPEAKER NOISE]
10:08.5
10:14.1
the path we're walking almost plain and flat
10:14.2
10:19.0
but due to the tiredness of climbing some followed me while using those taxis
10:19.1
10:23.9
we'll enter the next stage of this midnight trekking that is
10:24.0
10:28.8
we'll climb down into this crater
10:28.9
10:33.7
my eyes are burning while wearing this mask
10:38.7
10:43.5
[BACKGROUND NOISE]
10:43.6
10:48.4
[BACKGROUND NOISE][SPEAKER NOISE]
10:48.5
10:52.3
[SPEAKER NOISE][UNKNOWN WORD]
10:52.4
10:57.2
before climbing down into the crater, the respective guides of each group will ask you whether you can climb down or not
10:57.3
11:02.1
because it's hard to climb back once you climbed down, still
11:02.2
11:07.0
climbing in those smoke will take some time, each guide holded the hand of their members and
11:07.1
11:11.9
gradually help us to climb down, we need to take each and every step carefully
11:12.0
11:16.8
if you make a small mistake you may fall and have injuries by contacting with rocks
11:16.9
11:21.7
I stood on edges while taking videos, even if I’m confident
11:21.8
11:26.0
those people will ask fear inducing questions
11:26.1
11:30.9
[UNKNOWN WORD][SPEAKER NOISE]
11:31.0
11:35.8
I'm good, I'm not panicked and he makes me panicked
11:35.9
11:39.7
[UNKNOWN WORD]
11:39.8
11:44.6
finally we reached the crater where they extract the sulphur
11:44.7
11:49.5
after we reached this place we saw a beautiful thing that is
11:49.6
11:54.4
this Blue flame, this mountain emits extreme levels of sulphuric gases
11:54.5
11:59.3
that too with unimaginable pressure and with 600 degree Celsius
11:59.4
12:04.2
this is caused by volcano and
12:04.3
12:09.1
when it exposed with oxygen it will burn and
12:09.2
12:14.0
that looks like a blue flame and you can see
12:14.1
12:18.9
the flow is emitting blue hue and it's an amazzing sight
12:19.0
12:23.8
I was astonished to witness this thing
12:23.9
12:33.8
"calm music"
12:33.9
12:38.7
look how much smoke, you can't even see here
12:38.8
12:43.6
I can't even breath while having this mask
12:43.7
12:48.5
look it's not visible, I don’t know how they work here
12:48.6
12:53.4
and after the hardships
12:53.5
12:58.3
they only get 300-350 Rs for each basket
12:58.4
13:03.2
this is unforgettable experience in life
13:03.3
13:08.1
so do try to experience if you time
13:08.2
13:13.0
first we'll see what are the use cases of sulphur
13:13.1
13:17.9
it has many uses, our body's proteins and amino acids contains sulphur
13:18.0
13:22.8
it's in minerals and in ladies makeup materials
13:22.9
13:27.7
car batteries, washing detergents, bleaching powders
13:27.8
13:32.6
cement, pesticides and gun powder
13:32.7
13:37.5
also contains sulphur
13:37.6
13:42.4
so guess the demand for the sulpher, not only in this place many places surrounding this mountain
13:42.5
13:47.3
is used to mione sulpher by 100-150 workers daily
13:47.4
13:52.2
I told you how strong the gas is when I climbed up
13:52.3
13:54.4
so guess how the workers feel near these fumes
13:54.5
13:59.3
for a example if you inhale the smoke after burning a egg omelette.
13:59.4
14:04.2
it will that kind of strong in smell, I think it will look cool from the top
14:04.3
14:09.1
when we climbed down there smoke was like this only
14:09.2
14:14.0
the blue flame was cooled down by stream of water
14:14.1
14:18.9
from pressured pipes,
14:19.0
14:23.8
tube like structures are there and they’re breaking those and brings here
14:23.9
14:28.7
look his boots is full of water, he is disposing water
14:28.8
14:33.6
I don't know how they work here
14:33.7
14:38.5
my throat is in severe pain and breathing is hard just for few minutes
14:38.6
14:43.4
it's a big thing to work here for low wages
14:43.5
14:48.3
two gases will emitted via this crater, one is sulphur
14:48.4
14:53.2
the direct gas emits from earth is very toxic and
14:53.3
14:58.1
if cloudy gas formed from this blueish lake they will immediately evacuate
14:58.2
15:03.0
because it's too dangerous as it's pH level is
15:03.1
15:07.9
equal to the acid in our car batteries
15:08.0
15:12.8
their life expectancy is 50-60 only because
15:12.9
15:17.7
their lungs and digestive system is affected in long term by working here
15:17.8
15:22.6
many will face headache and stomachaches, even it's hard they will do this job for their survival
15:22.7
15:27.5
it was shared by one worker, look at the shoulder of this worker
15:27.6
15:32.4
the nature of the skin is changed due to the daily work
15:32.5
15:37.3
superb view and I wasn’t realised while climbing down in dark
15:37.4
15:42.2
look from here, the geographical structure is
15:42.3
15:47.1
this formation is the wonder of nature
15:47.2
15:51.3
the demand for sulphur is high
15:51.4
15:56.2
1 kg sulpher gets 1 USD so instead of leading small amount
15:56.3
16:01.1
they usually fill 80-90 Kgs in that basket
16:01.2
16:06.0
it's very hard and
16:06.1
16:10.9
this surface looks stripes like texture at the top
16:11.0
16:15.8
it's looks like erosion due to rain and sea wave
16:15.9
16:20.7
it looks different and beautiful as seen in national geographic channel
16:20.8
16:25.6
I watched when I was young and now I'm seeing after growing big
16:25.7
16:30.5
actually they made small toys from sulphur for sale as souvenirs
16:30.6
16:35.4
so we can buy these
16:35.5
16:40.3
and can gift to our loved ones
16:40.4
16:47.6
in Indonesia if you’re a diabetic patient it's very hard for you
16:47.7
16:52.5
because everything is sweet here, I like sweet too much
16:52.6
16:57.4
and I'm also not miss to eat cake, bun and sweet drinks
16:57.5
17:02.3
as I'm thirsty now, I'll drink this milo which I already brought
17:02.4
17:07.2
I like milo from childhood
17:07.3
17:12.1
our fellow group stopped here for sometime
17:12.2
17:17.0
now they're climbing down
17:17.1
17:21.9
we'll ask them about the trekking as it’s first time for everyone
17:22.0
17:26.8
it will be a new experience I guess
17:26.9
17:31.7
-my experience was very good! this is amazng man!
17:31.8
17:36.6

Thank you welcome and again thanks!
18:23.4
18:28.2
Thank you! Thank you!....
18:28.3
18:33.1
we're waiting for some people, they’re still behind
18:33.2
18:38.0

18:38.1
18:42.9
[SPEAKER NOISE] he's shy, a little
18:43.0
18:47.0
[BACKGROUND NOISE]
18:47.1
18:51.9
we're back to the hostel and they made breakfast for us
18:52.0
18:56.8
I'm so hungry, let's eat
18:56.9
19:01.4
my eyes are sleepy now
19:01.5
19:07.6
"calm music"
19:07.7
19:12.5
so this breakfasts are included in package, but never expected this to be this good
19:12.6
19:17.4
so after eating fruits
19:17.5
19:22.3
and tofu, it's like paneer
19:22.4
19:27.2
samosos and sauce
19:27.3
19:32.1
they wrapped this to minimise heat loss, it's clean and jasmine tea is here
19:32.2
19:37.0
I'm so hungry
19:37.1
19:41.9
I hope you'll also enjoy this video by eating like this
19:42.0
19:46.8
I'll post the next video even better and cool
19:46.9
19:51.7
till then follow jack is signing off
