Abandoned Batak Houses in Samosir, Lake Toba 🇮🇩

  • Опубліковано 21 лис 2019
  • My motorbike adventures in Samosir island led me off road. You definitely couldn't call the rocky dirt path that I was riding on a road.
    The wee Honda scooter I was riding couldn't cope with the terrain so I ditched it and continued adventuring with my two strong legs. I walked 2km into a rural farm area, finding a row of 5 abandoned Batak style houses. Did I let myself in for a wee look? Of course I did.
    I eventually found what I was looking for, an awesome viewpoint to take in some of the beauty of the island and Lake Toba.
    On the way home I visited a local restaurant to eat some Nasi Goreng while all the farmers swigged their coconut arrack.

    I was baffled on 25:21 when heard you say 'masuk, 5000 oranges', it just doesn't make sense. And split second later couldn't help but found myself laughing so hard. You supposedly read it as "orang" not oranges. Orang translated as person. So it means 5k/person. Well anyway I've been watching your videos for the past few days since it's interesting to see how you communicate with people around. On previous videos I actually wondering how can you be so fascinated by Indonesia nature while Scotland itself has so many beauty landscapes. I've been to a highland trip for full week and did a bit of hike on Isle of skye, what a very divine places they are. But then in this video, right upon that viewpoint place you visited, I can see that even in Sumatra that kind of places also exist, a raw beauty of nature. I hope can get there someday, and the beauty maintains as stunning as I saw in your video. Cheers

    Dale Philip, I do appreciate what you have doing in my Home Village. I am Jogi Sidabutar. I was borned at 1959 in this very Island, Samosir, exactly in Tomok village. Your visitation to this island reminded me back to the earliest 1970. At those years my family runned a lostment called JOGI'S ACCOMODATION, as you could read it in the Asian Hand Book, wrote by Billl Dalton, also another tourist guide book for Asia by Tony Whiller, which you could also read in a book with title "Lonely Planet".
    If you have time you can search those sources.
    What I am trying to say is that I had a lot of stories about tourists and tourism in Lake Toba at that 2 decades (earliest 1970 to latest 1980) that I'd could share. But any how, you've visited and enjoyed our village/island. May you have a beautiful and nice experiencies during in Samosir Island. And hopefully you will come again in the next years to come. You know what? Today and the years to come, our president is keep on building many beautiful destination infrastructure and facilities in Lake Toba surrounding, to make confortable feeling for the tourust.
    Any way, if you don't mind and if you have time you can add my FB, Star Jog.

    they don't really care, and im pretty sure they're confused when you're giving them money, they're just like take it cause they don't know what else to do, they thought you're giving them money for free, and who would've refused it.
    but it's ok, it's only 5k rupiah, but next time you shouldn't pay until they're asking

    Interesting fact to those who may not be aware, the locals hardly ever use Bahasa Indonesia, instead they use the native Batak language, a whole different language in its own right. It's not uncommon to meet locals especially elders who doesn't speak a word of Bahasa Indonesia. Although possibly the most friendly people towards outsiders, from a general perspective as "orang Batak" who grew up outside the batak community, it is well known that the native locals are very self-conscious if not insecure to the notion that they often are considered as "poor" and "less educated" people. Of course once they actually reach a point at which they are considered successful ( for instance), very few could keep their usual chill. Basic human nature I guess.

      I think I've experienced the opposite of this. I married an Indonesian that I met in college. She grew up near Jakarta. While her ability to speak Batak is limited, her identity as a Batak is very important to her. My mother in Law (her Mom) tried to talk me into joining the Batak nation ( apparently this can be done if I am adopted by a Batak family and she had the connections to make that happen) and have my wife and I go through a Batak Marriage ceremony) but we decided not to take that route. Having said we plan to visit the Lake Toba area some day, experience it for ourselves and meet her relatives there.

    Hi, Dale. I just found your channel and enjoy your videos. Just for your information, using right hand when giving something to people is considered as a polite act, based on Indonesian culture. Right hands, in many Indonesian tribes, are considered as the good one. Several tribes believe the right one brings luck.
    Almost all Indonesian (when they were toddlers) are told to use right hands for eating, giving, receiving something, and so on.
