Celebrating Holi in India with Locals

Harry celebrates Holi 2022 in Delhi — a paint fight through the streets of Old Delhi, then the big organised party at a New Delhi hotel.

My First Impressions of SRI LANKA (Not what I expected)🇱🇰

A morning on foot and by tuk-tuk around Kandy — a $2 ride, a cricket shirt he refuses to haggle down, a $1.50 local breakfast that turns out to be the spiciest food he has eaten, and a lake full of fish.

Video

Why I LOVE Sri Lanka (Sinharaja Forest) 🇱🇰

Two days in a rainforest lodge reached by Land Rover with no phone signal — lunch off a banana leaf, a 4 km hike past a wasp nest, a smallholding's goats, and an unofficial walk through a working tea factory.

Video

Crazy $10 Challenge in Delhi, India 🇮🇳

Harry and Ali see how far $10 goes in Old Delhi — chai, a brutal head massage, a haggled tuk-tuk, cheese paratha, a box of sweets, and a "designer" shirt that blows the budget.

Video

Funny Challenge In Sri Lanka's Biggest Market 🇱🇰

Two hours in Pettah market on a challenge to buy each other the most ridiculous thing — a $2.50 fake Apple Watch, a $5 shirt, a wig — and Harry's first note that Sri Lanka's economy is in trouble.

Video

Avoid This Man in Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰

The drive south from Ella to the surf coast at Weligama — a $70 car for four, a $7-a-night hostel room, $3 sunglasses from the friendliest sellers of the trip, and one aggressive encounter on the walk back.

Video

The Most BEAUTIFUL place in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Three tuk-tuks race to the Nine Arch Bridge with the loser paying everyone's bus fares — and the one who offered a bonus for speed gets taken the long way round.

Video

Epic Sri Lanka Road Trip 🇱🇰 (Sigiriya)

The two-and-a-half-hour taxi from Kandy to Sigiriya — an $11 Pizza Hut stop, a driver chewing betel nut, a wild elephant standing in the road, and a $150-a-night villa at the end of a dirt track.

Video

$200 Fine Dining in Colombo, Sri Lanka🇱🇰

Five courses of Sri Lankan crab — oysters taken as shots, crab liver pâté with palm syrup, a prawn simmered in garlic oil for its head butter, a colossal black pepper crab, and a coconut crème brûlée.

Video

Foreigner Visits 8th Wonder of the World (SRI LANKA)🇱🇰

A 6:30am climb of Sigiriya rock in the rain — 1,200 steps, a 6,090-rupee foreigner ticket, a summit in cloud, and an elephant bathing in a river on the way home.

Video

Surprising Luke Damant, World Nomac and Go With Ali in SRI LANKA 🇱🇰

Harry books a flight out of Dubai four hours before it leaves, arrives in Sri Lanka with no visa and no onward ticket, and surprises three friends at a villa in Kandy.

Video

$200 New Jungle Hotel in Ella, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Two nights in a hotel built into a hillside above Ella that had opened four days earlier — an infinity pool over the forest, a shower that finds your body temperature, and a Sri Lankan breakfast alongside an English one.

Video

$0.30 Local Breakfast In Welligama 🇱🇰

A 60-rupee lime drink made with salt and pepper, the best pineapple he has eaten cut at a hole in the wall, a pair of sunglasses lost to the Indian Ocean, and a shirt he admits he negotiated badly.

Video

I Ignored the Media and Visited China 🇨🇳

Six days in Shanghai on a transit visa — a marriage market where Harry is rejected repeatedly, cameras on every pole that locals defend, the best duck he has eaten, and a fake market walkout.

Video

I Didn’t Expect This In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

A 550-metre zipline over the valley at Ella for about $20, a king coconut for 50 cents, and the fastest wi-fi Harry finds anywhere in the country — in a restaurant, after a day of looking.

Video

Kind Sri Lankan Family Gets A Reward 💰🇱🇰

Down the residential alleys behind Colombo's food street, where a man invites Harry into his home and describes what the economic crisis is doing to it — food and electricity prices, and a family he cannot manage on.

Video

Day In The Life Of A Youtuber In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

A working day in Weligama — a 7:30am surf lesson, a smoothie bowl, a co-working space, a TV interview, and a $16 beach dinner at Mirissa under the best sunset of the trip.

Video

Sri Lanka’s Best Roti 🇱🇰

A roti crawl through two Ella kitchens — a prawn roti in the Indian style, a coconut roti in the Sri Lankan one, and a banana-chocolate dessert roti, for $2 to $4 a plate.

Video

Sri lankan Stranger Won’t Let Me Pay 🇱🇰

An afternoon on Colombo's all-night food street — 20-rupee sweet string hoppers at last, a samosa production line, a baker who refuses payment, and a seller who says he has overpaid.

Video

$50 Sri Lankan Beef Wellington 🇱🇰

A three-course fusion dinner in Colombo built on beef loin cooked in Sri Lankan curry and wrapped in puff pastry — plus where arrack actually comes from, and a stupa climbed for the whole city at sunset.

Video

We met Elephants in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

A $15 ticket at the Pinnawala elephant orphanage — the herd walking back through the town from its bath, chains explained as a safety measure, and Harry unable to decide whether the place is what he was told it was.

Video

First Impressions COLOMBO, SRI LANKA 🇱🇰

A full day around the capital in a convertible tuk-tuk for 3,000 rupees — Pettah market, the Red Mosque, a $2 temple ticket good for two temples, and an elephant being washed in the middle of the city.

Video

Best 5 Star Hotel in Kandy, SRI LANKA 🇱🇰

Four YouTubers check into a five-star hotel in Kandy for the wi-fi rather than the luxury — a free room upgrade, a Sri Lankan breakfast buffet, and a chicken biryani that arrives with sauce and an egg in it.

Video

Avoid This Sri Lankan SCAM!🇱🇰

Harry asks a Colombo shoe cleaner the price about ten times, never gets one, has his trainers painted black without being asked, and is then quoted 3,000 rupees — having been ready to pay 5,000.

Video

Sri Lanka's Spiciest Kottu! 🇱🇰

A $2 chicken kottu in Kandy, ordered spicy on his friends' advice — how the dish is made, what it does to someone with no chilli tolerance, and the rule he uses to pick the restaurant.
