To be honest, this has only a very tiny bit of extra stuff in it – the short bus ride. Otherwise it's the same video as the public one. (The visit to the temple was relatively short and there was no significant extra footage.) But I still created this slightly longer version so I could have two separate uploads, and give you this link to a video with ads turned off.

The newsletter about this video will be published next week.

Thanks for supporting the channel.
