Ticket To Ride Episode 106: Indonesia’s Bull Racing Festival

Indonesian Traditional Bull Racing, otherwise known as Pacu Jawi, literally means the race of the bulls and is an ancient tradition still widely celebrated by the Madurans at the end of the rice harvest season. This week we have Malaysian-Brit professional car racer, Daniel Woodroof from GOASEAN’s show "Go Fast Or Go Home" to share with us about his experience of riding bulls in Padang.
