Mascots, Masks and Blowpipes
Ed Petrie and his friends find the most unusual places in Asia. Ed and Chris visit the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, otherwise known as the Palace of the Winds. Ed and Chris visit the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, otherwise known as the Palace of the Winds. It is windy because the windows have no glass, which makes it tough for a window cleaner to earn a living, as our boys find out. But there is still plenty to see inside and a great view from the top. It is essentially a high screen wall built so the women of the royal household could observe street festivals unseen from the outside. Ed and Chris perform a comedy sketch as royal Indian ladies watching a parade which includes the British Prince Albert. Ed and Victoria are going to a school with a difference - a school for mascots. Mascots are big in Japan and considered good luck. Ed and Victoria get a lesson in how to behave and to dress like a proper mascot - waving, striking a pose and dancing are the skills you need. Ed and Michelle meet Deepika, a collector of cool-looking Sri Lankan masks. Hopefully she has a mask to help cure each of Ed's illnesses, as these sanni or demon masks are worn in Sri Lankan ceremonies to try and help people get better. Ed and Cel find their inner Beatles for a take on their classic Strawberry Fields Forever. They take a trip to the lavender fields that bloom each year in this part of Japan to look at the amazing colours and find out how lavender can be used. Just don't come here in September as the lavender doesn't last forever. Ed and Ben take a trip to a cultural village where members of the local Dayak tribe are celebrating Gawai Dayak, also commonly known as Dayak Festival, one of the major festivals in Sarawak. They try out some local Dayak music and dancing - with varied success. - before taking part in the main event, a blowpipe competition.
