better than this space you understand everything is just unforgettable Taiwan is a land full of diversity when you walk on the streets you hear all sorts of accents intonation style X or even languages and why do I bring this up because that nurtured the music here we have in Taiwan to set off on our journey I brought to you in Anthony to me Ali to have a glimpse at how the heck uh people use their mountaintops to communicate with each other it's like Obama we're asking you have you eaten in Hakka language so you said soup our sis all but a way to could I thank you he prepared some Hakka cuisine for us knew we're gonna enjoy together this is a very Johnson ginger and intestines don't be afraid we're good now next one we move on to make a coil it is a pot with Yin time it's also a pickled vegetable in the business - Mateo to Bhutan you can see how like how people injured a lot of pickles here the voice that's been heard from light forth like many years now and how it's been like the music itself it's been continued for generations like passed on from father to son I was so powerful just hearing like his voice you can still hear like a little like he's struggling but he's singing from his heart you know you seem like he means at any telling us a story through just maybe we didn't understand it but just from the tone and the tune and the melody of it we could just feel it we just sit there quiet and just so in tune like we're just like yes this is amazing I create a new hug a song but really traditional hug asylum for my father yeah passes down yeah yeah Oh yeah I should say it was a very social connection that we prematurely found each other and that provides a ssin work and the way just play this guitar and sang and stuff though it was not only beautiful but it was as real that was served melodic I really really could feel a naturist sound of whispers and birds and trees and says that they're for me they're really every hit me hard and you know he really did bring a lot of energy just really keeping keeping keeping that beat in their rhythm how I'll never forget ever until the day I come back here and have more Burman I know they look full of energy

does it sido with the one two three oh the Stroh was real that's what I could say oh but it was with the challenge my first sounded like dogs crying sounded real terrible but it was actually really hard like I thought you could go into it and just they actually have to use like a good diaphragm and you know produce some wind from the inside was actually difficult and I was actually hard but like I loved it like every bit of it 1 2 3 but now that I've played it like a little bit missing I want to keep going you know I don't want to stop want to keep going that was does bring a bow for me but for many movies that I've watched you know I actually really really loved it was beautiful I told my eyes at one point during the performance and as I could feel like every bit of it even my fingers were like acting as if I knew the song itself beautiful and I was just like are so in tune and I felt connected in this song which I believe is like a traditional song in Taiwan well you don't say no to beer do you and just thinking of how much calories were burned spending time with my vocals and we wanted a good night out you don't really need any reason for that so this place where we can have really decent beers suited our needs and as for what happened that night you wouldn't want a nerd when mother Vito goes with how unsightly the teenager don't all your senses so like the beer here they're all brewed and like in Taiwan and there are 32 of them so there's like a challenge we can drink it all up and then we'll be on you're paving like oh I'm in it I'm in it I'm in uh yeah hi guys we're not ready to drink unless you are watching yep and I guess we'll cheers to the elevate elegant beginning and what happens to the end we'll see good I remember how we had to wake up at 5:00 the next morning it was definitely a torture but one lay ahead of us kept our spirits high and are you ready for our 3 min expedition but just for reminders you might want to turn the volume down a bit for now because really loud alright guys we are fighting here yet but not quite Wow does it sound weird to you kind of okay so actually I have arranged for you a very like a secret trip for you but that because you know I know like in New Zealand you have like majestic landscapes for me if I think of New Zealand and Taiwan we also have that too but it takes a little trip to see that and but before that I have to show you a video cool it's from Janet generally you yes hey Anthony hey Joey I know you Kiwis are famous for inventing all sorts of crazy adventure sports so I think this next activity is right up your alley when I first started filming fun Taiwan it was just me and my trusty old Jeep traveling around the island and now I'm about to pass over the keys - you guys have fun but please try to flip the car there yeah they are to use minivan IO mayhaw a tool candy been ho-hum by a power source also Hong Kong docile and Samuel we're gonna go through a river like river tracking with the with the Jeep y'all we staged a bucket road let's do it yes of Britain in the Jeep before in the coupe it's funny in the sound but I'm being serious I've read in the feet while definitely they are different than mountains and just the hole in the trees and the rocks and just the whole adventurous portrait atmosphere itself that is really good in a girl bug for me myself wow this is something where I could use it to learn to come down and you know hell away from this way and then come over see us on the train you know it's difficult which makes it more intensive it's not just flat where you can just simply run dude you'd see struggle you'd see emotions you feel nature and you know it's like it's like I can see the beauty of it all even just the smell and the freshness and how that fog chased us pretty much the whole it was pretty scary so we decide to give a helping hand and that was fun this is my first time pushing a car out of the mud I have not done that in my life sir I'm glad to say thumbs up I've made history I just have to leave it here right now cookie I don't think he's gonna make it here on my boots here I'm clean but yeah I gave up my best unfortunately but driving through the tyres Tiger Tiger jumped out at me today looks like a tree but I'm sure what the tiger cuz scratched me right here now the truth the truth I just yep animal isn't that embracing I'm crazy and now we bring you to a link away to see a meticulous Taiwanese folk art that glove puppetry and I can still remember when I was little I would sit in front of temple and watch the show all night long but what surprised me more was actually to weed because he saw a figure and pointed at it and he asked me it's like like Blue Book is like real powerful for speed it was like whoa how do you know about that so you can see how alluring this handicraft is I haven't seen anything like it before similar to Shakespeare though as we have theaters that are quite similar towards that type of theater in puppetry but I say nothing like I've ever seen I'd say I really really enjoyed how fast the transitions were in the puppetry I loved how the characters were so in sync with their bodies and I love the detail the design of their costumes for anyone who would comment to this I would recommend it absolutely that's what I love the most about it is we may not know the language we felt like you're connected to an audience and that's why you want commercials for the interconnected episode and we laughed and we never announce laughs we said yes and no one ever announced we could kind of understand the story yet not at the same time but just through actions and the voices we were all wondering so this is to make sure you have a task right now for sure we'll give you ten minutes and two minutes I'll see you later so exciting you know we had to poke a puppet we looked at them I observe them kind of made up a story of it and then put it improvisation on the spot I'm gonna need a pair of the back so the story was there was a homeless guy and there's a pretty girl that came pass my name is it was like oh no it's kind of hesitating you didn't want to be approached and stuff and so they kind of negotiated and communicated well and stuff and they long story short I found Santa I need help I don't know how I'm gonna deliver it before Christmas and all kids just too much mmm and I mean that's all about that's Christmas in a spirit of giving and receiving and you know loving one another where we all come together and that's what you guys did to me and you guys helped me you took Santa back to your house means you fit us Kiwi food New Zealand food and we enjoyed it and then you help me spread the love you know spread the Aloha see everyone and that's what it's Christmas is about burning so we have a little present from Janet okay take a look let's have a look at it hey guys I hope you're having a wonderful trip so far tomorrow is your day off here in Yuling which is also really famous for things like the chalten temple she low bridge historical old street and even guqin coffee now have a great time spend your money meet some people and who knows maybe you can even let your talents shine that sounds like like I'll play with an opportunity man and that's how we do it that's how we get it done yeah what do we do now it's all free days every day places that I have in mind I think coming ready to explore was unexpected was something very special just the fact there what we experienced today was something important to compare to like a Tim Burton attempt occurs right here we are I'd say like the people they just felt like you know we felt like welcome as soon as I walked into the temple art say definitely saw a lot of people a lot of colors and just walking in there I can see love dragons a lot of instruments playing instruments that means we have no idea and we were they were going to be a part of having the statues passed through and the smells of all the different tendencies and you know around you do not know what's going on obviously that means something but just by action I was a little anxious at the start window when I was carrying the carriage and now I thought you know I'll drop it but you know they were saying something in Taiwanese no be strong strong you know keep cute sir and that was like it pretty hard for us because we didn't understand but they're just using the headlights you two even wait they're trying to speak to us and you know communicate we had to carry the carriage into the truck and then help them put away the six and everything and that was nice to be able to give them a handbook for this I think for me it was something I would say I'll take away with as as a special treat all right guys are you ready for the next trip I'm ready I'm ready I'm for to it but still we're going to tie nine and it's the oldest city in Taiwan and architectures and the people and then you know you can sense that when once we arrive actually hop in the car and okay driving down south we arrived in China and went to the ten drum culture village it is a place reformed from a sugar mill and with a lot of its apparatus is preserved they're blending history and drum art all together it's behind a gun gun well clearly haiku cylinder ah see that's a woman Theresa so you see PI 1 & 2 is a cursor circle physical just wanna which is content and then item table panic we fuzzy almond part was younger at Tsukuba 32 seeker positive when they played the drums are like absorbs like energy from all those directions they could be so calm of their movements but you know you can feel that energy in tension and everything that they trying to create like in a story just from drums so when we learn to play the drums the first thing that they showed us is the center of the drum you said that the sound goes right through it instead of hitting the sides where just bounces off the walls not as powerful as a we just hit really get used to hitting into the center let's see it was a part of because trying to get the center every single time isn't as easy sometimes I would drum German and hit my own sticks and applause I'm like but I'd still continue oh yeah this is pretty difficult and I've ever been to Japan this is something simple for them but it was difficult for me I don't know about that was definitely a challenge being able to use my body in a different way that I would never have it expected so I had to like balance like my stance I saw you're slowing down otherwise change their arms a bit so those are your sauce sweet or salty okay babe so how did I had to control the emphasis and the balance on playing the drums was I had to really really know when my right hand would come in and win my defender comment so I had to do like a cool stunt so that would stick one it was amazing just to be a part of them I mean yeah like you know a world-famous group they've been nominated for awards and to even get the privilege to support them you know great honor was really looking like a really nice this is I think like the highest peak in this area actually there is something happening later with Heights that's right any of you scared of wise guys you like you swallow me and make you speak Oh JB oh my god let's do it snowman's do all those about beers I conquered my fears as my mason sounds he told me to say to say something cool so it's like something cool help me conquer my fears when I said something and it's made it more easier for me I don't know why she landed like a spider but I'm gonna try my best sounds good followed by so welcome to China and first of all thank you this is the original capital of Taiwan lots of performances with really traditional instruments so we just played a couple traditional songs we have another song that we'd like to perform before we finish yes okay and I don't know if you would like to join this audience we're gonna try to make some money so that we can eat some yummy food Tainan is famous for okay ready it sounds so uh so peaceful in it open string a bow to the funky with number one of the song speculums and I still listen to a lot of English there's no war dance like homies even go there we understand that you guys have haka here too but it's a tribe performing the father but different audience was a little a little bit civilian a little veteran knows they're breaking it it felt cognizable each in some movements with another looking at little kids and stuff and I was like oh like at the end of it I was thinking to myself I hope I did a big boy by the end of the show but there's something that you have to leave it all everything like the tiger that's Chris my I get that leave nothing like you know lift and you have to walk out like pretty much in pain you know challenge yeah the representing music in Hudson is sufficient and the music and melody is just in me around that area the singers made a living traveling around and sing singing about the smallest matters to what may be only Socrates capsule they were just like balls in the West and this is Anthony and two E's first encounter with our poetic singer a must let's see how they react good morning Sammy Sammy Khan a hunter Minya your chickadee of account which I made imagine we meow come on here about okay 113 I see Tyler then change and for Cincinnati detonator yeah ha ha ha Maddie and she invited a party yeah am i insult variety glassy sea cherubim like a TV I didn't even watch statistician Tracy yeah you told me so the way that they sing the songs to express different through their past life yeah it's just amazing bet it's pretty much or improvised a lot of it can be improvised where you can just see about anything you can feel free and you know just lay your motions run in the moon to tell you is your cheek all night well the music was very different it was very unique I had different time signatures and the boy would call it the tone angulating which means it is up and down and certain predictable play it it was beautiful soft you know it woman yo she knew ye time oh yeah oh sorry when you need me eg time since I you know that service is building itself which is my generation where is the general vomit and then the new like little kids that are like you know being for this traditional you know user poems and all of that that's good because it keeps like the culture alive you know and I was actually like heart warming to see all the kids from surrounding the room just the new you guys I just strike me cuss to the last day of her journey just the last year and it is I hope everything's so far so good yeah it's been a real real journey here in Taiwan well you will you please tell me like which part is more the most emotional to you like Anthony for me I think the most emotional part would be the temple Vienna would have so much fun there and just excitement I've never seen sooo many happy people like there my life like so many people jumping around colours of such a great symbolism of the word happiness and you just a landscape to scenery the people the culture the food everything that with it you know kind of speechless when we're talking about going home you're not really looking forward to going okay so to me it's awesome I've never met someone from Tunga and I don't I didn't know much about the culture but then we were talking we were singing watching like videos of your culture and then I feel like I learned so much there's like in exchange between us and I love that one absolutely that's awesome so at last there's something more we have to offer which is what should say it the song well the fans like do you still remember the song we originally what they knew you well here it goes so yeah way more money Oh Doctor Who I am kee-yai Cohutta Kyoto ha Moammar yeah oh yeah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah don't sing someday I feel real at this point I'm not usually a an emotional person but when I am I'm uh I'm gonna be described baby in the world kissing cumbia talk the old girl laughs yeah I'd say a ver ver very humbling people this trip has been personal it really has so welcoming so humbling pure you know just loving people just unforgettable coming here feels like a lot of emotion back home we can go home and tell stories you know saying we tried this in there for the first time that's been one of the greatest and best adventures that means all we could have asked for and I hope that there'll be a second time to Taiwan sometime soon and I love Taiwan's words
