She Got What She Deserves...

After weeks of brutal adventures I decided to give Catarina something she deserves...but it didn't last long. Shortly after we flew to one of the most chaotic cities on earth, Jakarta. With the reputation as being one of the most polluted and crowded cites on earth I am sure we were in for more crazy adventures.

[@wendyHew]

Lol the polution there and the mentioned other places makes having to pay for plastic bags in Tescos seem ridiculous 😅 I think supermarkets just saw an extra profit, the heiress of Tesco still owes the British taxpayer thousands after selling of land in London in a scam that went wrong, she refused to pay the fine given to her by the courts, transfered her assets into familys names and fled the country, and yet we still do our shopping in the shop that will make her extremely rich .

[@toddburgess5056]

The footage in and around Jakarta was pretty cool, especially when Ben and Cat entered that maze through little shops and people's living quarters. It would certainly be interesting living there. My 93 year old former boss and her family were from a little town in Northern Maine and moved to Jakarta sometime in the 1970's. When I worked for her she had all sorts of stories from when her Diplomat husband brought them all there to live for a few years.

[@mariataif]

Ben great video BUT you always speak as if Kat isnt there by saying I will I have etc when it should be WE have We do etc or are you not an item together you and Katerina?

This is so relatable brother! I travelled SEA for about six years and I know that pain. Once stayed in a hotel room where the room next door was literally been knocked down. I stayed across the road from a restaurant that was so loud that it was shaking the windows. And I lived next door to a hotel where for an entire week the owners thought it was acceptable to have their Buddhist funeral from 7:00 p.m. till 5:00 a.m. respect there traditions but I doubt the ancestors had martial amplifiers! 😂
