In a way, Indonesia is more tolerant that western countries. Many christians and Hindus can reach very high positions, including currently a coordinating minister, which is a bit like prime minister, armed forces chief of staff, governors etc. Also, there are no anti-christian parties that regularly burn bible, unlike in the west. Indonesia is a perfect blend between modern lifestyle and modesty.

Idk where you come from but i'm pretty sure there's like 1000 times more mass shooting cases in US than "terror" attacks in Indonesia. And people still come to US anyways. For such a big country i'd say Indonesia is pretty safe.
I agree. And for the record I'm from Canada. Of course I didn't feel any threats of terrorism before or after my visit, but I wanted to include it because I know some people consider these things when they are planning their destinations. Tourism in Bali took a big hit for a long time because of the attacks there.
@itchyfeetonthecheap Have you ever been to Colombia? Brazil? Mexico? Don't you know how many thousands of Muslims were massacred in Myanmar (Rohingnya)??? What about the shooting cases committed by school children in America? Or racism in many Christian-majority countries? Did you know that Muslim women in France are prohibited from dressing modestly according to their religious beliefs?
Terrorism is always a threat anywhere in the world, no matter what the religion involved. And sex before marriage is more to something taboo things but in reality I’VE NEVER HEARD A SINGLE PERSON THAT IN PRISON BECAUSE OF PRE MARRITAL SEX.. 😂😂 and I am a 49 yo Indonesian living in Jakarta. It would be a different story if somebody is reporting a sexual abuse or somebody being reported for love affair after marriage for government official, they can be in prison for quite long time..
Man! Your honesty is what separates you from other vloggers who came to Indonesia. And you actually have a personality, which is something that others lack.
Hi, I'm from Indonesia and there are some wrong information that I need to correct. Bali is not the only island that Muslim doesn't make majority, the big island of Papua, Sumba, NTT, Ambon, those islands are not dominated by Muslim and Christianity make up the majority of the residents living there
As an Indonesian, this is funny for me :D Btw, Indonesia is not only about Java & Bali. And bali is not the only island that is not predominantly Muslim 😅 All the islands in eastern Indonesia are not predominantly Muslim, half of the islands in central Indonesia are not predominantly Muslim, and several islands in western Indonesia are not predominantly Muslim, such as the Nias & Mentawai Islands. U act like u already know about Indonesia but u don't at all sir.
It has been funny hearing you say that food is cheaper in Indonesia and it really is. I have been struggling at times comparing the food prices in Phnom Penh when I compare with Indonesia. Even KFC albeit not a good example is about 30% cheaper than Cambodia. On the other hand looking at alcohol prices in Cambodia looks ridiculously cheap. It’s all swings and roundabouts. Btw great videos!
Actually, young people do courtship prior to marriage. They meet boyfriends after off work or every Saturday night. You just didn't meet them. You gotta dig more deeper before you fall into stereotyping. Oh, yeah. I've never seen any hotel asks marriage certificate to travelers.
I found Pork easily in area in Indonesia who dominated by Chinese in Medan, Jakarta or Non Moslem regions like Bali, Dayak, Manadonese, etc, mostly are in Central and Eastern Indonesia
you should travel more in Indonesia the Eastern part of it is the whole different from the west part that mostly Christian and Catholic, we hope you comeback someday to enjoy travelling in Indonesia
LOL Indonesians definitely have plenty of those things 😂 All three of them and then some. It’s amazing how some people can visit a country ONCE and think they know everything about it, and worse, spread misinformation. That law draft is not great, but it’s not as simple as you might think it is. You would need to get reported by a spouse or an offspring or a parent, which is why this wouldn’t concern tourists. It’s still not great and many Indonesians don’t agree with it which is why we’re pushing for it to be repealed. Sure, we need to improve on the issues of LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, but that’s not an issue specific to Indonesia. You Americans have never had a female president, we already had one. All across Indonesia we have female governors, mayors, etc, all who are directly elected through democratic voting system (a corrupted one, but still). Indonesian women have always been powerful, even before independence we had had regnant queens long before women were allowed to rule any European country. Public transportation in Indonesia is not separated by genders. Women can sit wherever they want, but they also have the option to sit in women-only section. There’s no men-only sections, and even in the mixed section nobody dares to fight women over seats because most of them are more domineering. Non Muslim-majority countries like Japan also have this, why not criticize them? You’ve been there before, so you know that women sit on both mixed section and women-only section. Why mislead people into thinking Indonesia is separating men and women? We’re not some Middle Eastern country. Traveling is supposed to open up your horizon, but it wouldn’t help if you already have a preconceived idea of what a country is even before visiting.
Thanks for your comment. I didn't mean to say that transportation is separated by genders. And I wasn't criticizing it. I'm sure there's a very good reason for a women only section. I've never been to Japan, but India had something similar. For the record, I'm from Canada. We've had 1 female prime minister, but she wasn't voted in.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap I’m sorry to assume that you’re from the States, but I stand my other points. You are set on the stereotypes you have about Muslims, and you won’t stop at nothing to prove that Indonesia is just like any other country in the Middle East when in fact if you know anything abut the very fabric of our society, you’d find that we have more things in common with cultures in mainland Southeast Asia and also Pacific Islands. My concern is with just enough people thinking like you, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap Your current prime minister is really suck, specially with accident (I don't know if that accident or not) praising a Nazi. Yeah he did apologize but he's also say that is Russia propaganda is absolutely clown.
HI, I'm Indonesian living in Jakarta, and in public transport yes we have two section for male and female, but it just to make sure that women get seat during the trip as during peak hour the public transport will so pack with people@@itchyfeetonthecheap
Kawah Putih (White Crater) 0:33 is so cool, I loved Java so much but I didn't once feel worried about the religion, they are super respectful of other religions, but yeah Bandung was my biggest surprise due to Lembang and Kawah Putih being pretty areas to visit, next time I will go visit more of the East Java parts as admittedly I spent half my time in Bali and the other half in Jakarta/Bandung area last time I went :D Yeah I was super surprised with the metal detectors at the malls in Jakarta but as you said it's just part of the measures to combat the terrorism from the past, which if anything just makes you feel even more safer, but man the price of alcohol at Braga street in Bandung is insane, in Bali it was cheaper, and for those who love beer the local beer (Bintang?) is super cheap.
one information. that extra marital law is only for married coupple who do cheating. and only if the partner sue the cheater. outside of these two conditions do whatever you like. Actually, extra marital law is not a right words. anti cheating law is more accurate.
There are liquor store in malls and dept store in Indonesia, there are also so many bars and cafe that sells alcohol beverages too but not in convenient stores.
for the context of public transportation system, yes, we sometime separate two different genders in order to ensure woman's safety from any sexual harassment in public. To western people, it may seem weird, but this idea is to keep everybody safe.
At least, there are no anti-christian parties that regularly burn bible. Anyone who do that will be immediately jailed. Unlike in west, where burning Qur'an is considered as the finest example of freedom of speech. If Indonesians burn bible, we will be immediately branded as a terror state by western media.
Pretty good, honest sum-up, but you're a bit harsh on some points eventhough you soften them up with your sense of humor. Regarding safety, I think instead of reading the stats of terror attacks from wikipedia, it would be better if you talked about how you felt and what your experience was. Did you get harassed ? Did you get mugged ? Did you get intimidated ? That sort of things. The terror attacks in recent years are much smaller and targeted toward the police. And I think the threats are continually diminishing.
Thanks very much. I didn't experience any sort of problems with the people of Indonesia. As I mentioned in the video, everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Whether they like it or not, we as Muslims never care about them and we remain open to the outside world. Many people sell pork in Indonesia, like in Java, there are lots of pork restaurants and there are no problems. Then terrorism in Indonesia, which according to the Indonesian survey is the highest, is wrong, If terrorism in Indonesia is indeed high, perhaps there will no longer be any Christian, Hindu, Buddhist or Confucian religions in Indonesia. Then regarding sex, in my opinion, not all foreigners understand or know about these rules, but in Indonesia there are still many women who work in sex, some are open and some are closed. Apart from that, there is also one city where sex is legal.
I found in Bard (AI Chat) that Terorism in United States is much more than in Indonesia. In Southeast Asia actually all countries quite the same except for Singapore and Brunei. It is reasonable because of their small size.
Philipines has much more Terorism cases than Indonesia (from AI Chat). But People still going there. So I think why people not coming to Indonesia is not because of Terorism attack.
There are many reasons why people visit OR NOT visit indonesia. Being a muslim country...maybe... but turkiye and malaysia have many tourists. Turkiye has more than 40m, malaysia more than 13m moving to 16m. They are muslim majority as well. Religion does not play a big part. It is just the tourism packages and people experience. Indonesia relies heavily on bali and the surrounding islands like lombok, komodo. Their places are congested and big cities polluted. Turkiye too has terrorist attack like indonesia. But people still visit ephesus, cappadocia, pamukkale etc etc. And it has european and asian vibe. Malaysia has multi cultural vibe with amazing food. Nature is fantastic with our oldest tropical rainforest in the world.
The west reminding Indonesia that it is Muslim, is causing it to become more like the west's view of what a Muslim country should be like. Whilst it is true that less than 1% of Indonesians are formerly classified as Buddhist (all Indonesians must have a religion which is listed on their ID card), Buddhist teachings from the Majapahit era still dominate. But even this is a western abstraction. What are called Majapahit Buddhist teachings are often a mixed Hindu/Buddhist Shaivite philosophy merged with animism. Indeed, Majapahit religious beliefs are still dominant in parts of Java, often merged with Islam in Kejawan. This is the reason why when you scratch the surface Indonesia is a lot like other SE Asian countries. Indeed, when we visit Bangkok I am struck by how the beliefs and practices have so much in common, as opposed to so different; there is even a Javanese Masjid (Mosque) in central Bangkok. I recognise that you are simply following the west's hegemony in dividing the world into competing religions and do think you were very fair in your assessment of Indonesia. But we all need to recognise that if we keep calling a child naughty and treating it like it is, it will become naughty. Worse still this plays into the hands of the minority of Muslim who really do conform to what the west thinks a Muslim should be like.

there were repatriations of Chinese people who wanted to return to their country when they were offered the choice of choosing their Indonesian citizenship in 1960. But people of Chinese descent can be found anywhere in any city, I have many Chindo friends.
Indonesia is currently more tolerant towards Chinese than certain western countries. You could be beaten up randomly as an Asian in these countries due to excessive racism. This happened once when an Indonesian, mistaken as Chinese knocked out a racist white guy with a single punch in US. But he ended up helping the knocked out guy, that's how friendly we are. It went viral and so satisfying....lol
Simply reclassification, often by the Chinese Indonesians themselves. I stand to be corrected but would estimate around 10% could be classified as Chinese. Many many more if we include have some Chinese dissent. For example, my wife's grandmother was Chinese Balinese, but she would only ever consider herself Javanese.
Wkwk gotta admire the frankness when it comes to the famous indonesia netizen. Seriously tho the premarital law is a bollock cuz the eyewitnesses should be a family member and no bussiness owner would shoo away money from tourist. Eh even tho it's pretty religious here so alcohol & sex are viewed negatively, I'd say theres a fair amount that doesn't care at all esp in big city. Tips: look up warung that sell B2 (babi) or a chinese place if you're really craving pork in big cities
Public transportation in Indonesia IS NOT separated by genders. You just need to experience the daily routines and watch how women and men can sit anywhere where the seat available in trains/ buses. However in certain vehicle there are dedicated seat for THE ELDERS, PREGNANT LADIES OR WOMAN WITH BABIES.. I think it was just a laguage barrier you had with he/she that tried to explain the situation:
4:40 Andre tate : abdul take the rocks She cheated and then wanted to divorce and took half of my property and the right of the child. No baby you go to prison
In AI Chat data, in 2022 there are 11 terorism cases in Cambodia. In Indonesia only 1 Terorism Case. So I Think Why People don't come to Indonesia for Traveling is not because of that. Maybe because of the other have more entertainment industry, I mean like Party culture, Night Club, etc.
Some sexyness are acceptable here its just wearing bikini on beach are not our custom unless its very secluded private beach Pork are available in chinese area or non muslim majority region,sometimes on hidden alley have a sip for local alcohol such as : ciu,sopi,cap tikus,topi miring,tuak
You forgot to mention about natural disasters. Indonesia has too many active volcanoes, earthquake happens all the time and small tsunamis. Thats mostly scared the tourist away.
volcanoes is not that common compared to an earthquake because volcanoes and tsunami always came with earthquake on it, japan is pretty similar but they a lot of tourist come to visit it, religion has an impact to it
Of the millions of American tourists who visit Indonesia, you are the only one who is biased and prejudiced... I don't know what bad experiences you've had that make it seem like you really want to badmouth Indonesia...
You clearly didn't watch the video, or just didn't understand it. Yes, I talk about the concerns people might have, but that's not bad mouthing it. I end the video praising Indonesia and telling people not to be concerned about the problems I brought up. There are plenty of channels doing what you want - everything is roses, turning a blind eye to potential concerns, 'look at us were having the time of our lives constantly'. This isn't that channel. Also, I'm Canadian.
Please don't ask outer country from western to have politeness, please. Because more western country aren't polite al all for outer western people, even for outer western tourist like from asia
whatever your opinion, good or bad. At least most Americans like and feel at home in this country and appreciate a country's culture more. It would be better for the American government to learn tolerance with Indonesian society. And Sweet home Alabama 🙃
Your review about Indonesia apart Bali are so bias just because you now live in non Muslim South East Asian country... If you want to know more exactly what really Indonesia is... Go, live and life there for long term not just as tourist for two weeks and then you feel that you already knew whole about Indonesia... That's suck!!

@@IErfanCN we just do not like illegals. No one invited them to my country. But we are fine if they are documented

There used to be a lot more Chinese people in Indonesia... something... happened.
there were repatriations of Chinese people who wanted to return to their country when they were offered the choice of choosing their Indonesian citizenship in 1960. But people of Chinese descent can be found anywhere in any city, I have many Chindo friends.
Indonesia is currently more tolerant towards Chinese than certain western countries. You could be beaten up randomly as an Asian in these countries due to excessive racism. This happened once when an Indonesian, mistaken as Chinese knocked out a racist white guy with a single punch in US. But he ended up helping the knocked out guy, that's how friendly we are. It went viral and so satisfying....lol
@@dearrylh8924 so nothing... happened in Indonesia?
Simply reclassification, often by the Chinese Indonesians themselves. I stand to be corrected but would estimate around 10% could be classified as Chinese. Many many more if we include have some Chinese dissent. For example, my wife's grandmother was Chinese Balinese, but she would only ever consider herself Javanese.
No they purged or killed many chinese in indonesia.
Wkwk gotta admire the frankness when it comes to the famous indonesia netizen. Seriously tho the premarital law is a bollock cuz the eyewitnesses should be a family member and no bussiness owner would shoo away money from tourist. Eh even tho it's pretty religious here so alcohol & sex are viewed negatively, I'd say theres a fair amount that doesn't care at all esp in big city. Tips: look up warung that sell B2 (babi) or a chinese place if you're really craving pork in big cities
CANADA 🇨🇦🇨🇦 BEST FOR EVER🌏🌎🌍👏👏
Waww
Public transportation in Indonesia IS NOT separated by genders. You just need to experience the daily routines and watch how women and men can sit anywhere where the seat available in trains/ buses. However in certain vehicle there are dedicated seat for THE ELDERS, PREGNANT LADIES OR WOMAN WITH BABIES.. I think it was just a laguage barrier you had with he/she that tried to explain the situation:
4:40 Andre tate : abdul take the rocks
She cheated and then wanted to divorce and took half of my property and the right of the child. No baby you go to prison
@itchyfeetonthecheap we 🇮🇩 ❤ u guys 🇨🇦, terimakasih🙏🙏🙏
Brother...! Indonesia jones doesn't exist in Indonesia yet but "cowboy chicken smackdown" already exists in Indonesia 😅😅😅
Very good, still!!
when you mention why people don't want to go to Indonesia because they dont want to be blown up make me laugh🤣🤣🤣
Great video. But no bacon? And Bali is for the surfing.
In AI Chat data, in 2022 there are 11 terorism cases in Cambodia. In Indonesia only 1 Terorism Case. So I Think Why People don't come to Indonesia for Traveling is not because of that. Maybe because of the other have more entertainment industry, I mean like Party culture, Night Club, etc.
Some sexyness are acceptable here its just wearing bikini on beach are not our custom unless its very secluded private beach
Pork are available in chinese area or non muslim majority region,sometimes on hidden alley
have a sip for local alcohol such as : ciu,sopi,cap tikus,topi miring,tuak
Unity in diversity
i hope this goes viral i frickin hate my country
About the Sex Law that you said is only for Indonesians not For foreigners.
Lol the title. Probably why it doesn't get a lot of tourism do you think?
My feet are itchy..
You forgot to mention about natural disasters. Indonesia has too many active volcanoes, earthquake happens all the time and small tsunamis. Thats mostly scared the tourist away.
volcanoes is not that common compared to an earthquake because volcanoes and tsunami always came with earthquake on it, japan is pretty similar but they a lot of tourist come to visit it, religion has an impact to it
@@rikiyaaragakijapan is clean like singapore. People like that.
@@keangwooichoo6138 how bout thai? they have a lot of tourist even more than japan, a lot of thrash and people littering everywhere
Ngapain jg ngomongin yg srm2????? Loe g pingin negri loe bnyk dikunjungi??
@mikejordantheworld not as dirty as Jakarta slum or Delhi slum or manila slum right? Also thai are very nice people like balinese.
3:38 u dont believe that people hitting fly with their hand exist
Of the millions of American tourists who visit Indonesia, you are the only one who is biased and prejudiced... I don't know what bad experiences you've had that make it seem like you really want to badmouth Indonesia...
You clearly didn't watch the video, or just didn't understand it. Yes, I talk about the concerns people might have, but that's not bad mouthing it. I end the video praising Indonesia and telling people not to be concerned about the problems I brought up. There are plenty of channels doing what you want - everything is roses, turning a blind eye to potential concerns, 'look at us were having the time of our lives constantly'. This isn't that channel.
Also, I'm Canadian.

Please don't ask outer country from western to have politeness, please. Because more western country aren't polite al all for outer western people, even for outer western tourist like from asia
whatever your opinion, good or bad. At least most Americans like and feel at home in this country and appreciate a country's culture more. It would be better for the American government to learn tolerance with Indonesian society. And Sweet home Alabama 🙃
Your review about Indonesia apart Bali are so bias just because you now live in non Muslim South East Asian country... If you want to know more exactly what really Indonesia is... Go, live and life there for long term not just as tourist for two weeks and then you feel that you already knew whole about Indonesia... That's suck!!
Yeah, you have to tell them what they should do in their country.

Terrorism is always a threat anywhere in the world, no matter what religion involved. As far as I know sex before marriage is more to something taboo thing however in reality I’VE NEVER HEARD A SINGLE PERSON THAT IN PRISON BECAUSE OF PRE MARRITAL SEX.. 😂😂 and I am a 49 yo Indonesian living in Jakarta. It would be a different story if somebody is reporting a sexual abuse or somebody being reported for having a love affair after marriage involving government official, they can be in prison for quite long time..
Sure terrorism is a threat anywhere, but it's more of a threat in a country that has had a lot of terrorist attacks.
Just come to Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Malang and Bali.. and you will take your shit!! Ooh I forgot.. That's Java Island only, don't mentioned cities in Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Lombok, Sumba, Flores, Papua all those major islands. Don't talking shit before you come
Mmm, this is too biased.
Don't be like that ☺️
👎👎👎👎👎👎 lack information 😂😂 source from Google 😂😂😂 you should living more than 1 year in Indonesia and explore the largest country by area almost 2 million square kilometres and more than 17K island 😂
Anda bilang di amerika lebih demokratis dari pada indonesia anda salah besar apa presiden amerika ada yang ber agama islam ,pasti tidak ada karena islam di anak tirikan di amerika ,itu lah negara yang paling demokrasi yang minoritas tidak akan jadi apa apa
I once had a javanese gf, would be jailed for years🍺🍺
