Kalani David loose in Southern Sumatra as filmed by Sam Norwood. Of the trip Sam said, "Kalani almost died, literally, a few days into the trip. The poor kid got sick and was sweating bullets for the rest of the week. When Kalani returned home his doc told him he could've died if it'd been a few more days. Crazy...

Oh, and Kopi Luwak? Not far from where we were shooting is where they make the famous cat poop coffee that'll set you back some big bucks. It also sums up Kalani's trip - cat shit!"

Apart from the backdooring of that A-frame, one word- boring.

Pump pump- air reverse. Repeat.

I know the kids eat this stuff for breakfast along with the obligatory gangsta track, but not my cup of tea.

I am getting old.

I hear ya zen. I enjoy listening to gangsta rap but if that's the soundtrack then you better be moving some serious weight. He's a talented young bloke but this might have been a better clip with the hospital scenes included. Bar is dropping these days.

It does seem the bar is dropping - I don't see how making such videos is worth it for the company. I look forward to the day where they just stop funding it and less blokes with photographers head out to the islands each year.

Sidenote - this from my Indonesian housemate who just watched this video with me thinking it would have something to do with kopi luwak..

" And why is every video you watch of Indonesia just whiteys walking around with shirts off looking arrogant. Imagine if me and (his Chinese girlfriend) did started flicking fifty dollar bills around in Martin Place, making videos of it and then getting paid for it by companies. You'd have me arrested."
