01:42Yeah, so in Bali, we usually play kites in May, June, where the wind is at best.
01:49But we actually play kites all year round because basically we have good winds all year.
01:55Any similarity of your kites with India?
01:59Well, Balinese kites is very, well I think all over the world we have our own unique kites.
02:08And in Bali, we have three main kites called janggan, bebian and pacukan.
02:14It's different, but I think philosophically, as a lifestyle, I think we share very good similarities.
02:23Where we play it on a farm, during farming season, harvesting season.
02:30Yeah, it's all for joyful lifestyle.
02:34So in Indonesia, the leaves of pineapples are used to make kites.
02:42And here, it's being demonstrated.
02:45And you see here, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Greece, Japan, and European and Asian countries,
02:51together they make leaf kites.
