What's up, ladies and gentlemen? It has been a very long time since I've done one of these vlogs. And you know what's very funny? That these vlogs perform much better than the highly produced ones. I don't know why. Maybe it feels more authentic, it feels more raw. Anyway, I'm in Jak, I'm in Indonesia. I'm staying in this hotel; it's actually very, very nice. I was very surprised. This is the bedroom, bathroom, living room—pretty nice.

So, by now my Indonesia video would be out, and you would have seen that I'm now back in Indonesia. Everything is fixed. I actually just went and saw the politicians a few days ago, and now we're going to be flying out of Indonesia today and going to Singapore. Going to be flying there on a private jet. On the way to the plane, I'm going to go downstairs and grab a matcha. I'm actually going to go to Uniqlo as well. I'm not sure if you know this, but Uniqlo is actually made in Indonesia, so we're going to go directly to the source. You know, we're going to skip all the middlemen and grab some fresh, crispy tees. So let's go downstairs, grab some drinks, grab some tees, and then let's head to this jet.

Hello, sir. How are you? So we came with a crew of people, see? Andia, and every single person got hit with food poisoning except me. I'm the last man standing, the lucky one. Someone likes you. Yeah, every single person in our crew got knocked out over the last few days. I guess that's probably one of the only downsides of coming to Indonesia, especially if you haven't traveled here before, is that food poisoning. You got to be very mindful of it. Hello. Good. Surprisingly, Jakarta is actually a lot more modern than I than I thought. Hello, how are you? Can I please have a table? I actually remember I came to this this cafe, in Paris Cafe. It's from Paris. It's from Paris, right? Actually, Singapore is—um, a lot of people don't know this—but Singapore is one of the best countries in the world for banking. They have like incredible banking, incredible privacy laws. A lot of the world's wealthiest people all have banks in Singapore. Most people that I know that are ultra, ultra wealthy all mainly have their main bank accounts in Singapore. It's usually Switzerland and Singapore. Wow. I wish it was a triple-strength latte, but it's as good as we're going to do today, right? What have you got there? Got black coffee. Black coffee. Jealous. I'm very jealous. You can have a…no, I'm not allowed. I'm not allowed. I'm off the coffee. Let's get out of here. Can I please get the check? Have a great day. See you.

All right, now I need to go to Uniqlo before we head to this jet and fly to Singapore. Forget Louis Vuitton, forget Gucci, forget Prada; Uniqlo is one of the best stores in the world. India, the size…the size smaller than Europe? Yeah. This is for Asian…Asian? Yeah. Usually you use…I use medium in Europe. Maybe you can use for XL? Yeah. Okay, thank you. The sizing in Asia for most stores is all different. That means that I got to size up by like two. I remember I bought some t-shirts from some stores thinking it was my size, like medium, and then I went home and it looked like I bought some children's outfits. So let's grab some shirts before we leave, cuz I don't have any clean clothes cuz I've been on the road for too long. Have a good day. See you.

All right, we're in the car on the way to the airport. How are you today, sir? Good. Yeah. Yes. Um, sorry, I was…no, no, no, please. Do you think so? What's the time now, sir? It's uh, 2:56. So the flight's at 4:00 p.m. You think we'll make it? So usually it doesn't really matter like if you're late, but I've been told that specifically in Indonesia there's tight regulations, and so they they're not going to wait on you. So yeah, that's why I hope that everything's all good and we make it. All right, we've arrived. Yes. Wow. There…a lot of guys for a second because of everything that's happened, I started to be like, oh my God, am I getting arrested? But turns out they're just helping with the luggage. Thank you very much, sir. Have a great day. Thank you. All right, so we're here in the airport. They've given us this really nice conference room or something, and now we're going to wait and then head to the plane. Excuse me. Yes. Some coffee or tea? No, thank you. Thanks. Okay, please. We go now? Yeah. Yes. Okay. What's your name? My name's Su. Nice to meet you. Thank you very much for your help. Okay. Okay. We going with him? Okay. You guys, thank you. You come to Singapore? Oh, no, no. And uh, to plane only if you want, you come. Yeah, we go together. There she is. Thank you very much, guys. Nice to meet you. Jul. Nice to meet you. Hello. Nice to meet you, Jul. Hello. Nice to meet you. Hello. We're fully ready to go. One hour and twenty minutes. We may encounter time to time light chance during the CW, but nothing serious. Okay. And some run shower in uh, Singapore. Hi everyone, just to introduce myself, my name is Nicole, and I'm from Spain. I will be looking after you today. It's a pleasure to have you on board. I'm here for your comfort, so if you need anything at all, just let me know. Have you traveled with us before? Yes, you have. Okay, so you know already. We can adjust the temperature for you. We will increase a little bit because it's going to get cold. And and we do have Wi-Fi. Oh, you do? Okay, cool. Your name again, sorry? Nicole. Nicole. Okay, cool. Where are you guys from? I'm from Australia. You speak a little bit of…in Australia? See? See? Crazy. This well-wind experience has now come to an end. It will come to an end after we're out of Indonesian airspace, and then that'll be the end of it. You should tell the people you…you were in Afghanistan, right? I was front line…front lines of Afghanistan. Yeah. What's more…in working with Julian or front line of Afghanistan? Oh, it's just nothing but pleasure working with Julian. So yeah, it has to be the front lines of…yeah, fair enough. Good answer. All right, looks like a clear sky, so I hope that there's not going to be a lot of turbulence. I know that these humid tropical countries tend to come with a lot of turbulence when you fly, so let's hope that it's going to be a smooth flight, cuz the weather looks very nice. Let's see. We're about to take off, and as everybody knows, I have a terrible fear of flying. Unfortunately, still hasn't gone away. What I noticed as well is in Indonesia the runways are very bumpy. All right, here we go. Do you have Bluetooth on the…on this fly? Would you like to play music? Yes. Yes. Yes. I mean, I have…so on my way to Singapore because when I was younger I actually learned from some people that kind of became like mentors to me about how great the banking is in Singapore. All of my wealth is managed from Singapore, and so it's necessary for me to go there like once per year just to check in on everything. But it has been a very long time since I've been back, so since we were close by, I wanted to come in, check in on everything, check in on the financial team, and then yeah, get like a very, very quick vacation out of this before heading to Australia. So right after Singapore, maybe like three days after, going to be heading to Sydney, back to Australia. I'm actually very excited for that trip cuz it's been a very, very long time since I've been back, and Australia is one of my favorite countries. It's also where I'm from; it's my home. So yeah, can't wait to be back. Are we still in Indonesian airspace? Yes. I told him to let me know. Okay, cool. Seven years in Dubai…years, and you worked with Emirates…for Emirates, and then you moved to VistaJet? I changed jobs. Yes. And where are you happier? Here. Here. Yeah. Yeah. Less stressful than…it is less stressful…less…less passengers. Yeah. The destinations are more interesting, but did you leave Dubai as well? I had to. Yeah. But this company is based in Europe. Yeah. So I have to live in Europe, but they are very flexible, so I can choose where to live, and I chose Spain. Cuz I'm from Spain. So your quality of life…do you feel happier in Spain or Dubai? I miss Dubai. You miss Dubai? What do you miss about Dubai? I mean, the lifestyle…the lifestyle in Spain, it's just a regular lifestyle. It's more chill, right? It's…it's…it's really healthy in a way…to…in Spain. Very simple. Everybody is very simple. Things are very easy. But Dubai is more exciting. I'm used to the…I've been there for such a long time. Ladies and gentlemen, we are leaving Indonesian airspace, entering Singapore airspace. Wow. We made it. We're out. We're out of Indonesia. Crazy. Crazy experience. One that I feel like I didn't really deserve, and so that's why I can't wait till we land and then I can say that that's over. It's going to be a bumpy landing. Be…no…after the…CL bear? Okay. Oh, it's raining. Wow. Is there anything I can do for you before I see…right? So thank you everyone. It was a pleasure to have…thank you so much. All right, we're about to land. All right, we made it to Singapore. Crazy. Because of everything that went wrong and how paranoid I can be sometimes, especially with the flying, at one point I thought that this would be the…you know, this plane would go down, and it would be like the finale of my…my life. Because of everything that's happened in Indonesia, I thought this plane was going down, but we've landed. We're out. Amazing. Feel a lot of anxiety just coming out of me right now. Welcome to Singapore, everyone. Thank you, Nicole. Where are you off to next? Oh, we stay here for a little bit. Are you going to stay here tonight? Yeah, we stay…we stay I think two, three days to enjoy as well. Amazing. Cool. Yes. Have a good trip. Thank you. Thank you so much, guys. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you, Nicole. Thank you.
