    Not gonna lie, I think I've never seen any Indonesian documentation (on national television) of their own tribe this clear and transparent about the non-mainstream culture. Thank you and good job Sonny for taking over this documentation for the people of Indonesia and the world. I hope Indonesian tv is seeing your vid and spread it on news.
    Edit: so a lot of people misunderstanding something i said here. Firstly, the main point is not about the bugis tribe, but all the non-mainstream tribe on Indonesia. Secondly, it's not about sonny making tv show in Indonesia, but newscasting channel spreading sonny series so indonesian people can watch and know a few more thing about their own tribe.

    I’m recovering from surgery and I’ve been binging this show (both channels) for over a month now! I’m 5 days post-op and I only watched Sonny through the whole surgery experience. Pre-op, post-op and now home.
    I truly can’t explain how much of a part this show is to my daily life! It’s opened my eyes so much! I’ve wasted so much food but seeing what other cultures eat has made me be less picky if my greens aren’t perfect and I even ate some soft fat (not the hard part but I’ll get there) of a steak the other day! It was delicious!
    So THANK YOU BEFRS TEAM! You’re editors are superb and Sonny makes me laugh ALL THE TIME!!! Keep it up please don’t stop! As soon as we’re financially recovered from my surgery I’m going to become a patron!

    Yes, it must be confusing for foreigners and fellow Muslims abroad. I am Indonesian, Sundanese, and Muslim. I am often confused about many things that are practiced even by my group. But I keep it to myself and vice versa. Instead of blowing up the differences, we emphasize what we have in common.
    Of course, I know about the Bugis people, but this is my first time hearing about the Bisu. Their food is mouth-watering for me. We have this dish with almost the same process as the eel soup, except we use catfish and slightly different spices. Yummy.

      @@PokeTwilight The point is that transgender people have always exist and exist in every culture...Native Americans called them Two Spirit. The difference is only how much or how little each culture represses them and forces them to adhere to gender binaries. The west traditionally would literally kill people for being transgender. Now it's becoming more accepting and certain people have a huge problem with that (like you, probably). This tribe is a good example of what happens when you let people just be who are they. Nobody is forcing someone in this tribe to be a man who dresses like a woman if they don't want to, and vice versa.

    The term "boogeyman" is actually from the word "Bugis man". They were pirates who would raid Dutch vessels at night during colonial times. They'd wear all black, smear coal all over their face, and raid Dutch vessels at night. Dutch parents started telling their misbehaving kids "you better behave or the bugi man will get you". Then when the Dutch settled in New Amsterdam (New York now) it became "boogeyman".
