In Hong Kong Julian Hanton tastes both Michelin star and dubious star Chinese cuisine before entering into a reptilian nightmare, eating snake soup served by Hong Kong's very own 'Snake Queen'. Julian also quickly regrets his decision to take one of Bruce Lee's trademark one-inch punches during a visit to a prestigious kung-fu school.

In Thailand Julian Hanton focuses on exploring Bangkok off the usual tourist path. He visits a 'Lady-boy cabaret show' then meets their lesser known 'Boy-Ladies' counterparts at a photo shoot for a magazine celebrating tom-boy culture. Julian practices his blue steel pose hanging with Bangkok's International model party scene before getting it punched off his face at a Muay Thai kickboxing session. Finally Julian visits the grisly forensic lab of a CSI investigator and Bangkok's leading party people 'Trasher' who teach him how to dance whilst looking cool.

Julian Hanton begins his exploration of the Philippines in its capital Manila where he manages to gain a guest appearance on the country's top TV show, Eat Bulaga. He tries to follow in Imelda Marcos's footsteps and takes a ride in a giant 'shoe car'. Heading north he walks on 1000-year-old rice terraces and tries the Pilipino delicacy Balut, a fertilized duck egg, before flying south to recover on Boracay's white sand beach. Finally he returns to Manila to get some lessons in rhythm from a dancing traffic cop.
