That’s like a required skill if you live in the cities of SE Asian countries or Third World countries cuz organ trafficking and human trafficking is a serious problem. Luckily for me though I live in a town near the coast where people know each other, but I did go to highschool and College in the city so I had to develop these skills.
PSA: If you have personal protection equipment you should always maintain it properly, including testing if it still works. Otherwise you don't know if it will protect you should the need arise.
good reason to listen to your stomach feelings when something feels creepy/dangerous also the guy from the second story makes me embarrassed to share a species with
I give Michi credit for actually recognizing the situation and handling it accordingly. With Numi, she got VERY lucky. And thankfully she’s doing much better at avoiding shady people lol
If he was escorting me to the building one coupon wouldnt be suspicious. Because he could bring you in and take the coupon to the register and then go back with the same coupon. But with everything else compounding. Yeeaaaahhhh run michi run.
@@RhysHill-ur8lq Cuts her hair, possibly if she covers her face with a mask and shades and wears loose clothes and a baggy hoodie or sweatshirt. But than she'd draw attention and people would notice of they looked long enough
I remember in my own neighborhood as a kid a blacked out tinted windows SUV slowly followed me and when it pull up to me there was a car on the side of the wrong that I put between us and stopped and watch. It stopped for a minute in front of the car that was in front of me. Then, it drove off.
My first cousin is almost exactly like Michi, she too is aloof etc, only difference is that my cousin would have been kidnapped in that scenario. She doesn't have much survival instincts.
Yep, always trust your gut and the hair on the back of your neck The thing about the story the older people is catching and saying "Yeah thats common" is that she was in a shady area looking for shady deal
It's actually very smart to use laminated coupons, because blood stains are impossible to get rid of once on paper. A laminated coupon can just be wiped clean afterwards.
From my own experience it's less about gender and more about vibe. If you have street smarts vibe and/or a crazy personality they will leave you alone (mostly). And from what I can see, the shady alley market is still a thing, unless you have street smarts don't go in or you will get scammed
i was listening to this (with a headphone) on a train ride back to home. as i was getting abit of headache from wearing the headphone for too long i moved the right part slightly when suddenly, a random dude just suddenly approached me and said "hey, nice shoes are those boots?" "where do you work? did you just got off from work?" "are you a student?" "sorry if i disturbed you i just never seen someone wearing such shiny shoes" as he followed me in an elevator to get off from the train station. there was also another guy in the elevator, but he just mind his own business by texting on his phone. then as the elevator door opens, i just followed to the other guy's direction and walked faster so that the random dude couldn't ask me anymore weird, red flag questions 😂😂
damn, what happened to michi in the market almost happen to me to, but fortunately I went with my army styled cousin, and i was scolded when we got home because i was twelve and curious and curiosity killed the cat, i was TWELVE,
A lot of pepper sprays now have a safety you have to deactivate before you can use it, somethingl8ke a little switch lever is common. It's good give any instructions a once over with something like that and testing the spray before you have to use it is a good idea.
Regarding her "victim blaming" it's not completely Michi's fault. The thing is safer countries like Japan or USA also gone thru that shady era as well. Even New York used to be very shady back in the 90s, even having strip clubs in Time Square. Or when Japan still in feudal time, bandits and criminals roam the land and some of them done things. As those countries became more prosper, they try to be better. Sometimes too good they ended up became too sanitized from the cruelty of the world. Hell, I still think it's dumb that American houses have no fences or just low fences. Even when USA have great police response, but I saw a lot of crimes that's preventable just by having more obvious structures at home. The most recent thing I heard is about this couple who went around the world. They stopped in India, sleep outside and the wife got grape ed by a gang of local men. What baffled me is how the woman then try to defend the grape eists like they're just some innocent men who don't know better. Lady, your body just got invaded, do you even have self preservation?
@kimchiacid if someone stares at their phone while walking and walks into road not seeing red light and gets hit even when driver tries hard to brake who is at fault? victim blaming is bad but people still need to pay attention to their surroundings u cant blame one side for every situation. unlike in michi's case
God, I relate to this. If you're a skinny girl who's pale in SEA (or if you fit in the traditional beauty standard general) people WILL praise you for your looks and it will feel good. BUT people tend to forget that often times It's such a double edged sword. You're much more likely to be a target by creeps, and sadly, human traffickers too.
in Brazil we have the phrase "Brazil is not for amateurs", I feel Indonesians should start using it too lol the jaded reality of loving your country but knowing how shitty things can get for clueless people is a shared weird feeling
Not wanting to be mean, but I noticed that in Islamic countries. You do not go out without a brother, husband or father else they think less of you, which also explains the clothing as being something kinda prevocative. It's less prevalent in Indonesia but it still exists sadly.
bro I used to live in a lower-income neighborhood, and I still hang out with my friend who's an ex-drug dealer one thing I know for 100% sure is that human trafficking is not common. that guy saying to Michi that getting kidnapped is a common thing is absolutely bulshitting. of course kidnappings exists in Indonesia but there's no way getting kidnapped is a common thing even for people that live in slums. dunno why michi seems to believe that kidnappings are common. the "common" human trafficking in Indonesia is sex trafficking where pretty girls that live in rural villages would be promised a job in the big city, but then when they get to the city they would actually be prostitutes
What is the weapon carry policy in Indo? My guess is no guns of course but how are we on knives or knuckledusters? I carry a pretty decent heavy thumb flip knife hooked to the inside of my pocket for safety/box opening. It’s heavy enough to use as punching weight but also sharp and pointed for safety purposes. That said I’m also 6’4” so i tend not to get messed with outside of drunk idiots at night at the gas station or dark parking lots.
That's the southeast asian way, Philippines is the same way. The best cheap item is always at the shadiest part of the market, and don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be sexist, but if I a man find this sketchy place dangerous, what more for a woman. It's a lot more dangerous for a woman than a man, to be travelling those sketchier areas. That's why no matter who you are travel in groups is always the best safer option, there is strength in numbers. Especially if you are woman, and be safe out there.🥰
OMG. She went to the black market? Why the hell that she knew all that in the first place? ADE SHE WENT THERE ALONE? GIRL! You need more precaution in this dangerous world! I'd be really bad if they had decided to run after her and forced her
I laugh at these types of things because if i didn't, i would cry My family told me a couple weird stories about the blackmarket during ussr Ukraine times. P sad
Michi has stated multiple times that Indonesia has gone a lot better, including after these incidents, so these might not accurately represent Indonesia now, maybe only the past 2-3 decades.
It's not victim blaming to warn people to not get in a burning house. Just because the fireman haven't arrived yet (or don't exist because asshole government put money elsewhere), doesn't mean danger isn't real, even if it's your house and you have the right to be there. It's important to be aware that sometimes there are dangers that are not supposed to be there but are, and it is a logical consequence that putting yourself at risk increases the odds you will be harmed. The exact details of how to fix things change a lot from situation to situation, but even if the existence of the danger is someone else's fault, once you're mentally mature enough to be aware and understand what the situation is, it is a dumb move to open the door to the danger when you have the voice not to. But of course, way too much nuance with this topic; way too many subtle ways things could be different that significantly change which arguments would make sense etc, can't fit even all arguments in a single comment, or even explore all nuances in a discussion thread. But TL;DR; we don't live in a perfect world, don't be dumb if you have the choice.
I dont think people are brushing it off necessarily, its more like they cant do anything about it. Think of a common crime that happened it America, like car jacking I guess. That shouldnt happened and it would be nice if it didnt happened, but people reaction would most probably "yeah that happens, just be careful next time"
Idk about Indonesia but as my favorite biologist always says stay strapped or risk getting clapped. You know metaphorically, ironically, in Minecraft and all that
Michi needs to realize that it might not be the length of the shorts that matters, but the entire bakery she's got stacked in there that plainly attracts the crazies. Some women need to understand that they might see themselves as the most wrapped-up burrito, but to those types of crazies they might look like the one ring from Gollum's perspective.

taking care of yourself and having streetsmarts is always ideal. but dude... it's never the victim's fault for getting jumped. being a victim means something was done UNTO you. violence like this is a problem no matter where in the world it happens. a crime is a crime is a crime. don't victim blame.
Not saying I know the Indonesian people but isn’t Indonesia a muslim nation? From what I do know of arabic countries isn’t being a young single women walking around without a male escort asking for trouble? If so, how would she not know that? Is the creep who said “racist” things maybe associating her pale skin with being non muslim and thus fair game for assault? For a muslim woman to bear only her calves is enough to run afoul of sharia law in some places. How is she not putting two and two together? I’m confused.
>Arabic countries My dude, indonesia isn't an arabic countries. The stuff where a female cant walk without escort is more of hardcore muslim nations, indonesia is more chilled out than arabic nations.
I still victim blame a lot, like a coudple that drive through afgan to orove that afghan people and isis are peaceful. Like a backalley of a not so good of the neighborhood is a bad place to go through.

Much of what you are saying is definitely something that still happens today in western countries too. And with all genders too. But yeah... It really is a societal problem... ~.=.~ Also: I'm still so happy to see such an awesome Indonesian person here. My dad's side of the family is Indonesian so I'm so happy to see and hear stuff from you about Indonesian culture and everything.

i'm glad michi didn't become a human trafficking statistic
Michi seems like the type of person you'd see on the news as a kidnapping victim, and it wouldn't even surprise you.
"Witnesses say that she appeared to be staring at the sun when she was abducted"
They say she followed a trail of kitkats an m&m's. Unfortunately she was never seen again
It seems I haven't seen a kidnapping news in a long time.
What's that supposed to mean?
She's the oblivious type to evade getting kidnap actually.
Kuro would 100% fall for that.
He alter ego will investigate himself
Not sure. He did once try to get Michi to avoid being scammed in his old occupation
Honestly, as bad as it sounds, I'm glad Michi has those honed safety instincts. Better for her to have the foresight to act than to be ignorant prey.
That’s like a required skill if you live in the cities of SE Asian countries or Third World countries cuz organ trafficking and human trafficking is a serious problem. Luckily for me though I live in a town near the coast where people know each other, but I did go to highschool and College in the city so I had to develop these skills.
PSA: If you have personal protection equipment you should always maintain it properly, including testing if it still works. Otherwise you don't know if it will protect you should the need arise.

Damn, I thought this is like numi white van story, glad it was "better" version of it and michi has good survival instinct
I give Michi credit for actually recognizing the situation and handling it accordingly.
With Numi, she got VERY lucky. And thankfully she’s doing much better at avoiding shady people lol
22:29 I'm sure Michi looked cute in her outfit, but the she was asking for it comment would piss me off
It's just an excuse anyway, creeps like that would still go after women even they wore potato sacks.
you are an angel to clip all these awesome moments... michi deserves to have extra visibility on youtube!!!
thanks for the kind words..
i feel more motivated now
@@DailyMichiMochievee yes please, Michi is like gold mine for clippers, she always has interesting stories or funny stuff.
If he was escorting me to the building one coupon wouldnt be suspicious. Because he could bring you in and take the coupon to the register and then go back with the same coupon. But with everything else compounding. Yeeaaaahhhh run michi run.
The way someone dresses can justify attention; but never violence.
Good quote there
Michi will have to chaperone Kuro and Matara if they go to Indonesia as they are the most likely to be nabbed
Bet that the would mistake Matara for a man
@@RhysHill-ur8lq I doubt that, unless she goes too heavily into one of her disguises.
@@The.Mr.JBiggs or cuts her hair?
@@RhysHill-ur8lq Cuts her hair, possibly if she covers her face with a mask and shades and wears loose clothes and a baggy hoodie or sweatshirt. But than she'd draw attention and people would notice of they looked long enough

Even Indonesian germophobe is built different. I don't think American germophobe can't deal going to Indonesian shady back alleys.
Depends on what city I guess though its hard to say since the US us so big with places like NY, Chicago, LA, etc.
as livin in mexico.. i understand the feelin
Yep, always trust your gut and the hair on the back of your neck
The thing about the story the older people is catching and saying "Yeah thats common" is that she was in a shady area looking for shady deal
My girlfriend is Indonesian. From what she's told me, these sorts of attitudes towards women are _shockingly_ common.
You need street smarts to survive in some areas
Thank god I'm a 6' 2" tall buff dude, can't imagine what it is like to not be able to defend yourself
Yeah I’ve learn don’t trust people no matter how shady are is.
michi going through herucules’ great trials every month 😭
Pepper spray expires in a year or two
After she revealed her irl lore, she almost got kidnapped become so much make sense
24... to 14.... half of that range results in jail in many countries.
It's actually very smart to use laminated coupons, because blood stains are impossible to get rid of once on paper.
A laminated coupon can just be wiped clean afterwards.
Wow, that kind of thirst the guy must never saw women for a long time. Maybe he was in an island full of drags for 2 year while training legs.
Good video. I would love to see clips of her shaman/horror stories too.
_flashbacks_ intensify
From my own experience it's less about gender and more about vibe. If you have street smarts vibe and/or a crazy personality they will leave you alone (mostly). And from what I can see, the shady alley market is still a thing, unless you have street smarts don't go in or you will get scammed
Glad michis still here with us ❤
Risu might also seen sh*t. Her jokes are serious thought, like she is able to do it.

Mmmmm sometimes you just remember those moments you could have died. Like that one time I was almost kidnapped as a kid.
There is a spectrum between "victim blaming" and "basic preventative measures".
"Just be vigilant more teehee~"
She can survive in the cities of PH. She has the ability to sense
damn, what happened to michi in the market almost happen to me to, but fortunately I went with my army styled cousin, and i was scolded when we got home because i was twelve and curious and curiosity killed the cat,

Honestly, I am Indonesian and I am dead ass, never heard this kind of story, but again I am not living in Jakarta
certified se asia moment as much as things are creppy and weird for people from other countries but as asian its sad but i respect it
To be fair, they probably laminated the 'coupon' so it would be easy to wash the blood off.

"was almost" or "almost got" not "was almost got"
It emphasises the severity of the situation ;)
no, i'm just sleep deprived, but thanks for the correction tho
thats so scearry
I laugh at these types of things because if i didn't, i would cry
My family told me a couple weird stories about the blackmarket during ussr Ukraine times. P sad
I was about to say again ? But she told this story already
Never going to Indonesia to visit my friends again
As long you're in more richer area you're safe.
just don't go into dark alleyways. you'll be fine (child me was)
