I'm in Jakarta and it's a beautiful day outside.

It's probably gonna be hard, probably human, and I have about the day.

So it's about, well, a 15 him up a little bit earlier today because of jet lag on.

I leave my flight hours just after midnight tonight, so there's a lot to get done in a short space of time.

Now, I don't know all the details of my agenda today.

I am a passenger in this experience, both literally passenger in the car and figuratively a passenger, and that I don't make decisions.

I don't know what's going on.

I am happy this way.

And, you know, I think first that we're gonna head out to air training school and I think we're going to swing by the Brewster competition a little bit later on, and I know that I haven't events afternoon beyond that. 00:00:59.970 --> 00:01:4.090 The details of that I don't know this stuff I want to see here this stuff I want to understand. 00:01:4.100 --> 00:01:6.180 This is a really interesting market for coffee. 00:01:6.390 --> 00:01:14.650 There's been a huge room and coffee here, but it seems to be shifting and doing things here that I don't see anywhere else.

And that's not just specialty.

That's the coffee market as a whole.

So hopefully I get a chance to look at some of the more interesting stuff trend wise going on in Jakarta right now myself.

A little Nestle doctor.

Gusteau.

She Should we make coffee with?

That would be a bad idea.

Bad idea. 00:01:47.740 --> 00:02:4.070 Okay, I'll just wait. 00:02:4.380 --> 00:02:4.720 I went. 00:02:4.730 --> 00:02:5.710 We'll get coffee later. 00:02:5.880 --> 00:02:6.850 I'll just I'll just wait.

So I'm in the a B C D.

Coffee school found, Uh, wow, I'm jealous.

They have so much cool stuff here.

I'm in the kind of espresso training history kind of room here, but this kind of brewing stuff behind me, they haven't auditorium here.

What kind of coffee training?

And that's amazing.

And they have a beautiful couple space, too.

I really liked that.

They kind of repurpose the things you wince ice cream scoops with into things.

He convince cupping spoon with I want to steal that.

Brilliant.

Got a few verses they're on.

I got some delicious espresso to start my day with a swell so overall super interesting start to the day for a school like this to exist it some says there's a fantastic desire for coffee and coffee knowledge here, which is very inspired.

You know, London's a big city, but I can't imagine a school like this that I don't know what that means, but it's definitely interesting being well looked after.

It's a really lovely crew here on Uh, yeah, very glad you came by to have a look.

This place is amazing.

That's right.

Now I am luxuriating backstage in a V I p room.

I am living the dream before the event.

I mean, like this Calm, quiet space could be so for it's nice.

Like I'm not very good at talking to people.

Before I give a talk, I'm inheriting an introvert.

Don't talk about that now. 00:04:0.280 --> 00:04:2.350 So today has been a good day so far. 00:04:2.710 --> 00:04:7.120 So after a B c D way went and we swung by the competition. 00:04:7.170 --> 00:04:10.180 So right now Brewers Cup on the birth of chapter going on.

We saw a little bit of that, but we couldn't stay too long.

I met some lovely people.

We took some pictures.

There were little kind of trade.

Show me stuff going on there as well, but I just didn't get a chance to see much and then we came across, got some quick lunch, was delicious.

And now at the venue, which is a big venue.

It's kind of an art gallery here, and we have one big room inside.

The ticket for this event was out of control, right?

They did a beautiful little invite with a V I.

P pass that gave you access to the gallery here.

There's a collection of work by an artist called Hendra.

That was pretty great.

I got a chance to go and look at that sort of stuff.

So right now I relax.

It's calm.

Then I'm gonna talk is gonna be I think some pretty cool stuff happening.

I like a little bit of an event type thing. 00:04:57.490 --> 00:05:0.830 Now, one of the things that I really wanted to do on this trip was kind of taste. 00:05:0.840 --> 00:05:2.730 What trends are right now. 00:05:2.730 --> 00:05:13.510 So between the Bristol champs and lunch, we stopped off like a quick coffee specialty has a harder time, I think, growing in this market because it's inherently quite expensive.

And so more more people that kind of looking at trying to do a better version off something more accessible.

So we stopped by one space and I was was good, actually, like, I didn't bring a lot of milk.

I don't drink a lot of sugar, but but I totally get how that's an enjoyable thing for people.

And if that starts people drinking coffee, it starts them down a journey where they're gonna keep drinking, good coffee or drink better and better coffee than I'm kind of into that.

Apparently, those people here have it delivered via one of the service is where people on mopeds and scooters We'll just pick it up for you.

Bring it to wherever you are, because traffic is bad here.

So you're not gonna get in a car and drive to a cafe because that'll be like two hours of your life. 00:05:55.890 --> 00:06:0.450 You just open a nap, get some to go pick it up for you, Andi, have it brought to you. 00:06:0.800 --> 00:06:5.410 And it's a nice to drink much of the time, really hot here, so that that's definitely interesting. 00:06:5.420 --> 00:06:5.960 It's a trend. 00:06:6.730 --> 00:06:10.240 The delivery coffee, the kind of copy Su su.

I think it's what kind of drink is commonly called, which is just like milky coffee between now, and I'm just hanging out in this green room and getting on a plane at about midnight.

I'm not sure how much more I'm going to see.

But maybe maybe there'll be a moment to see one more thing out.

Jenna, What's was decadent.

This is not a good way to start a conversation.

Bridget was decadent.

Decadent is having a hotel room that you get to check out off at 9 30 at night. 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:2.400 That means you could take a shower before you're too long. 00:07:2.400 --> 00:07:5.050 Haul flights from Jakarta back to London. 00:07:5.780 --> 00:07:7.490 This this is a beautiful thing. 00:07:7.500 --> 00:07:11.460 I have just taken Gloria shower hot today.

It's a great day.

It was a hot, busy day.

Sh wash the day off.

Go home And today was a busy day was a great day thing.

Event went really well.

I couldn't really film it because again I was talking at it.

But it was It was great.

Legend came.

There were some great questions.

I got to meet a ton of people afterwards, and that was great on.

Then it was dinner.

It doesn't really feel appropriate toe, you know, Bring out your big ridiculous camera at this remains one of the most interesting cities to me.

I desperately want to come back and spend time here.

Just Teoh understand it.

I'm kind of glad that today was Saturday.

This is a city with notoriously bad traffic, and today was kind of breezy everywhere.

Actually, it was kind of a pleasure riding around.
