Hello!

I'm working on an American adventure travel television show that will be shooting in Indonesia from July 2nd from July 7th, and I'm looking for potential ideas. The show is called Strangers in Danger and follows two hosts, world-renowned professional BMX athletes, around the globe as they engage in the most dangerous, bizarre, and challenging sports, jobs, and culturally relevant activities in each country they visit.

Below is a link to the trailer for you to better understand the show (It will air on FUEL TV in the USA and be distributed internationally by National Geographic):

Some ideas for segments in other countries have been:

1. Tinku Festival in Bolivia
2. Sewer Diving in Mexico City
3. Riding down the Road of Death in Bolivia
4. Wearing a glove of bullet ants in Brazil
5. Working in the Silver Mines of Potosi, Bolivia
6. Window washing on a high rise building

Let me know whatever ideas you have including crazy experiences, scary moments, dangerous activities etc! We are also hiring a local fixer in country so any good references are appreciated!

How about a day working with rubbish collectors/recyclers in Jakarta?
They live in a village surrounded by a massive tip.
I know a fine place and have photos for you to get the idea.

The locals would love a bit of income as extras. You could do some good while making your show.
