  • It's strange that Jakarta isn't that well visited by tourists compared to other parts of Indonesia. Thus I decided to start my trip here and see what this mega city had to offer! Join me on a tour of some of the most popular neighborhoods of the city, as well some of my first impressions of the city since there was definitely some culture shock going on. Jakarta is a melting pot of different cultures and lifestyles so I would absolutely recommend putting it on your list of must sees when visiting Indonesia!

    I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid.

    In Indonesia the spoon is supposed to act like a knife while you hold the meat with the fork. The reason behind this is that we don't have many big chewy food like steak where you have to really use a knife for it. If we do have to eat something chewy in our food it's usually already pre cut into bite sized pieces where the knife would be then unecessary to use. For more complicated foods like crabs we just wash our hands thoroughly first and use them instead. This is how i as an Indonesian would understand it. Have fun exploring Indonesia!

    I lived in Jakarta for 3 years at the time you moved to Saskatchewan. My best memories are the people, always kind and welcoming. They are curious about foreigner, as you noticed (my son was 2 years old and lemon blond, you should have seen the success, all the women wanting to touch his hair...). Cafe Batavia was one of my favorite spots. My kids enjoyed the animal and flower markets, and the Komodo dragons at Ragunan zoo. Do not miss Jogjakarta, my favorite Indonesian city, and the historic sites of Borobodur and Prembanan. Thank you for bringing nice memories of Jakarta.

    Thanks for showing me the parts of Jakarta that I've never seen. Menteng and Tanah Abang are the financial high-rise capital of Indonesia and so unlike the rest of the country. In the center of big cities like Bandung or Jogjakarta the tallest buildings are a dozen stories and there are just a handful of those.
    You are always going to be noticed and stared at in Indonesia but don't take it for unfriendliness. Everywhere I went people asked personal questions and, of course, everyone wanted to get a selfie with me.
    The spoon and fork thing is also common in other parts of SE Asia. Your meal had a lot of protein: fried egg and bakso and chicken. Much more common would rice and vegies and one type of meat.

    I'm sorry to hear that. I believe our ppl have no bad mean when they're glancing at you. Our ppl here just simply wonder whenever they see foreigners since there aren't many foreigners here like in bali. They will start smiling and saying "hii" if you say something to them. I can tell you're being very respectful toward us and i really appreciate that 🙏. Anyway, you can always ask for a knife in any restaurant that you visit. It's just not a common costum using knife here but you can always ask for a knife in wherever place you go

    Here some tips :
    1. i suggest you learn basic word/conversation in indonesian language, and you can ask people to help you here.
    2. always prepare yourself with tissue, because not all public toilet have them.
    3. always ask/tell your spicyness level of your food before you order on low-mid restaurant / street food. because mostly of them normaly serve food with spicy.
    4. about dress, we consider long pants was formal dress for public routine and indonesian woman aware about sun tan, they dont like skin being tanned.
    5. some people will ask you for photo/selfie, it just normal, they want to be friendly with you.
    6. some people will ask you for name, where you came from, your age, married or not, your job etc, sound like intrograting, don't be blame them, its normal here, they using that topic just for chitchat, they want to start friendly talk from that topic, although they will forget it later. hahaha :D
    7. about people staring you, yes you are right, more remote area more are starring you, dont be insult by them, it just because they stunning by your beauty. just stay chill. :D
    i hope you enjoying your travel in indonesia, take more time to explore every place you have to visit, and again indonesia is full of surprice experience (in positif way), ^_^

    17:52 Spoon is typically used for any type of rice dishes, it's the common way of eating. Even with fried chicken, people will normally use either fork + spoon or their hands to rip the flesh.. or both in conjunction. You'd be surprised to learn this but this is the normal custom for Indonesian here (as an Indonesian myself). I believe the eating culture of using spoon + fork was brought by the Dutch.
    Also, I think many modern restaurants might serve knives but try ask for one next time you visit another restaurant. Chance is small if you go to local restaurant instead ("rumah makan", "warung" etc.).

    Hope you are well Alina. Harriet and I have been to Jakarta to visit my brother . Some of the places you went to we've been to such as the Moja Art Gallery and into the Financial District and Old town Dutch town Historic District. My brother lives just outside of Jakarta in a District called The Golden Triangle. We enjoyed the food and drink there. Incidentally , most Indonesians eat with
    their hands at home. But at a restaurant they will use utensils with no knives. Much of the food eaten is considered finger food. No knive necessary. Harriet and I think the reason you don't see as many tourists there is Bali is the big draw and some of the strict protocols the west feels uncomfortable with. We didn't mind it at all. Alina, Have a Wonderful Time there. Feel Better, Be Well,
    and most of all Stay Safe. Sending you lots of love💖💖💖 Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.

    Hi welcome to Jakarta, hope you will enjoy your stay here. Jakarta is not really a tourist destination city compared to other city in Southeast Asia like Bangkok for examples. So you won't see much tourist around and things can feel bit out of place and confusing sometimes because lack of information of what to see and how to get there. But local government are fixing it I'm sure, improving the area and rebranding it with the hope it could become more hospitable or tourist friendly. Compared to few years ago, Jakarta is actually a nicer place now specially in the downtown area. If you have enough time you could visit a beautiful thousand islands not far away from Jakarta's shore. A nice beach retreat before you going to Bali or other area.
    Regarding avocado Juice, most Indonesian only know Avocado as fruit that used in juices and dessert, compared to western world specially US or Canada who are get used with avocado in savory dish due to Mexican's cuisine influence like Guacamole. So just like how you surprised finding Avocado in the sweeter side, my mother also have the same reaction when I introduced her to savory dish using avocado. A real cultural exchange 😃.

    Hi Alina, spoon and fork are utensils that we use mainly almost in every corner here in Indonesia if you go to a local restaurant, even for some western fast food brands, apart of course from restaurants that serve western food. If you wonder how do we slice a meat let say, is by using spoon.

    That elevated tunnel going across the street that was in the form of square frames arranged as a spiral was interesting.
    You may have to visit the caves Japanese hid in and the one where they found Java Man! I think Java Man was the missing link between Australopithecus and the Neanderthal or something. And I am pretty sure there was some intense WW2 action in Indonesia, the Battle of the Java Sea was just off the coast. In recent times there have been problems with diving scrappers looting the US, Australian, and Dutch ships sunk there, they are protected as war graves, but the bronze propellers off USS Houston disappeared along with an entire Dutch ship
    Awesome video, Alina! 👍😊🇨🇦🇺🇸

    I lived in Indonesia (Jakarta) from 1992 to 1995. It was a much more liberal country then. I loved the friendly people and the beautiful country.
    I've been all over Java, Bali and also went to Kalimantan. You are correct that if you want to experience the "real" Indonesia you have to goto places outside Bali. While Bali is great and beautiful it has a totally different vibe than the rest of Indonesia - one of the main reasons for this is that the predominant religion in Bali is Hinduism.
    My favorite dish was Tumis Daging, not your kind of food - its meat. I would suggest you try Nasi Padang, it is rice (Nasi) with lots of small dishes of different food. They keep refilling the dishes and you typically pay for what you eat. Be sure to goto a busy restaurant so you know they make it fresh every day.
    Traditional Indonesian food is eaten by using your right hand with or w/o utensils. Spoons are used for eating Soto (soup) or cutting instead of a knife.
    Good luck with you exploration of Indonesia.

      @@rynaldycavdra8236 I just write it as I see it. I do not want to start any discussion about religion or politics as everyone are entitled to their own opinions - my point was that it seems Indonesia has gone to a more restrictive / traditional interpretation of Islam. During my time in your country, it was the exception to see woman and children with their head covert - this date this seems to be reverse. We also all know about the attack on the Indonesia Chinese in 1998 and the Bali bombings in 2002 and 2005 which to me shows that the country has become more radical in its view.

    • @saltyliquorice7157
      @saltyliquorice7157 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was not trying to say that individuals are still not liberal, but from what I have observed the country seems to have become more radical. I explained my reasoning in a reply to Rynaldy Cavdra take a look at that please and see if it makes sense. I do also not mean that the previous additional freedom was only a good thing. I saw especially females being exploited and drunkenness which was the other side of the coin.
