OMG I'M FROM JAKARTA, INDONESIA. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! THIS MADE MY WHOLE DAY! But if you know how to enjoy jakarta, it's a very beautiful city! TERIMAKASIH SOULPANCAKE! Much love from indonesia! By the way, i know this channel because the teacher showed us one of this channel's videos and now i'm so happy to say that this channel motivates me to smile more and always respect other people.
I am just so in love with the first shot and the audio und aw, I can rewatch it just again and again. I love the video as a whole, but this slomo shot together with the music and Sonia's voice is heavenly good .
Your videos are "poetry in motion" ~ you know how to take the elements of a good story & create the imagery to match. It's almost like watching how I read a book... the thoughts swirling before me to make a new world. Lovely work & I'll look forward to more : )
I LIVE AT JAKARTA (although the neighborhood side) I'm so proud of seeing this video :) Jakarta may be all kinds of horrible, but it has hidden beauty everywhere 😄😄😄 MUCH LOVE TO MY FELLOW INDONESIAN VIEWERS :D
I've lived for couple years in Europe and always have chance to live there... but I'm back to Jakarta!... For me personally, it's more "live"... this is a real life! It's so dynamic and I always fall in love with the people and ... obviously the weather and cheap food!
ah. jakarta. like you, i grew up in a small town. and at 19, i pack my bags and move to jakarta. that was the first time i truly live on my own and support myself. and you know what? i'm glad i did it. this city, as messed up and chaotic as it is, play a big role on shaping my perspective towards myself as well as towards the world. and i think, had i stayed in my hometown, i would be a very different person than i am now.
I am moving there next year and I can say that your small video is the most useful thing this 55 year old man has seen in relation to the city. Thank you
Wow. That could easily describe my situation. Only that I'm in Ahmedabad, India. I arrived 3 days ago and I hated the city. Than I met some really nice people and now I will live here for a month or so to volunteer. Now I start to see the beauty of this city.
I'm moving to jakarta next month and I'm really scared because from the first glance I know that it isn't my favorite city and I'm also worried about living alone there. thankyou so much for this video, I find it really comforting. keep up the good work! the concept, cinematography, and editing are amazing!
I just moved here from what you could consider the exact opposite city (Singapore) and I've been trying to find the words to describe how I feel here, but what you said about 'seeing mess differently' is exactly it. It's the people and the thriving creativity that makes Jakarta what it is and what people fail to see and appreciate. Really glad I stumbled upon your video and loved it!
Hey, I'm from Jakarta, but I'm currently in the US. While Jakarta is panicking, being here made me feel a little lonelier and helpless, but I went onto Wowshack and saw your video. It was better than all those travel vlogs that expose Indonesian beauty, because in a sense, you took the ugly and made it better. I'm feeling kind of homesick now, but in a good way. Thanks for this video!! It's beautiful.
Jakarta is a very crazy city, sometimes I just hate living here.. It's nice to see someone giving tips to someone who wants to live here in Jakarta as well as sometimes I always think why do foreigners wants to live in Jakarta..
JustAnAdiya last year I went to Jakarta from Britain and I nearly got myself killed by one of your people..when I return back to Britain I told my family not to go to Jakarta cuz that place of yours is dangerous..I hate Indonesia..hate from Britain
Commander Xananymous Maybe you just didn’t know how to be fun, I’ve been worked at the hostel in Jakarta and all of british people like to have fun here because I show them the stanger things they never seen before
there are a lot of things to hate but even more things to love. and i will never trade this place i now call home. been here for 5 years. still learning and loving it. hope to run into you sonia!
SO ARTSY!!! LOVE IT!! Same here. So strangely attached to the city much more than I ever imagined... So it's been 5 years... and time to move on to the next one~ Sigh.. Gonna miss the insanity and how it has everything- EVERYTHING- you need to survive a living.. yea, most of the time the traffic delayed you but.. you still get it...eventually. haha. You're so spot on about being flexible. 👍
wow I actually pass that street and i pretty much rant how much the traffic sucks everyday. Thank you Sonia for showing me to look it in another way. Keep doing what you do, youre amazing!!
So Sonia inspires me so much! I'm glad to see all the inspiring videos, and reading the comments makes me happy that others are happy. What SoulPancake is doing is amazing, and this series really teaches you some life lessons to follow every day. Thank you Sonia and SoulPancake for bringing so much pleasure to the world so we can see everything in a whole new perspective! Much Love, - Liyana ❤️
beautiful video! I moved and live on another city now, but most of my family live there, so I visits time from time.. This video brings nostalgia, thank you for the video.
So many thanks to you for making this video Sonia... now I have something to show to my children whom, i guess, share your first impressions about Jakarta..
hi Sosonia and SoulPancake! I recently moved to Jakarta, around 2 months ago, and as you said Sosonia, the city kinda grew on me as time passes by. When I told my best friends that I'm moving here, they kindly said "welcome to the jungle'. And what a jungle it is. I use public transport, and what you said about being flexible rings true so far. We should really chat/talk, coz it feels like you see things from a unique perspective. And I'm all about learning to see things from different angles. Thank you for the video!
hi, where are you from? :)) i was born and grown up here, so kinda used to face those stuffs about jakarta like everyday. Would be loved to if i can show you around :)
after watching a few videos of sosonia, i really wish i can sit down over some tea and see what's in her mind. Very intriguing, like a puzzle piece i never felt before but so familiar.
I love the way you see things differently. Most of the footage taken in South Jakarta. Which is where i am right now, Kemang. This is amazing. I'll share this video to all my friends who just arrived here. They having a hard time living here because of the culture shock. But Jakarta is not that horrible if you found the right people and the right parties every weekend. We all be fine :D
Wow I have been subscribed to SoulPancake for a while but haven't yet explored it so much. Then I found you in yesterday's "The Happiest Girl in the World" and I was excited that you actually live in Jakarta as I live in the suburban near Jkt! So nice to see your art and the work you put together. Good luck always Sonia and I wish someday I can meet you :3 Heck I want to be friends with you! Haha
Wow, Sonia is the true epitome of the word "hipster", and that is intended in the absolute best context. I love your creativity and artsy-ness and I admire you for being all the things I could never be.
Wow, can't believe that SP made a video about my city! :D Thanks for curing my homesickness for Jakarta. It is indeed a crazy yet beloved city (at least for me) ;)
even we're hate about the conditions of our city, but there's a thing that make us love this city, and yeah we've to explore and being more crazy than anyone else, i'm agree with you, sorry if my english not fluent
Gosh how I miss my chaotic hometown and my parents, I live in SoCal now and everything closes until at least 9pm :( In Jakarta that's the time when I started to roam around Kemang with my friends, trying to find 'fancy' food or 'gaul' spots, but usually ended up at McDonalds anyway lol. Great video Sonia!!
I LIVE IN JAKARTA AND THIS IS SO TRUE and I love yet hate Jakarta it just grows into you and you start living lire unexpectedly. Plus, so many weird things happen here and it gets crazier each day and the sunsets are great and Jakarta is home
i lived in jakarta for 5 years .. i know it's not an easy even livable city back then, but my time in jakarta was great! Jakarta for me is a place for struggling, for learning how to live. every success i earned it, every failure i deserve it. Right now, thanks to everything that happen in Jakarta .. i can enjoy my life in another city here in Indonesia because i know how to survive :D If you have time please come here to Surabaya, i'll take you anywhere you want :D
born and raised here, to me it's a love hate thing with Jakarta, sometimes I reaaally really love it and sometimes I reaaallllyyy really hate it... and it's always those two extremes, never in between.
May waking you up guys that our country not only Beuty Bali, living in Jakarta for two years ago makes me miss much now, dis video described much what I have missed that city.🐱
omg, this is amazingly crazy, gave me goosebumps in some part, i know how i hate this city in the first month, then like u said, i start to see the mess from another view, and i fallen into it, i miss jakarta :(
+So Sonia I'm moving to Bali now, but sometime I still miss Jakarta, home is never be about what and where, its always about who and how, wait for ur next video, 1 subscriber awarded to ur channel and soulpancake as well :)
OMG I'M FROM JAKARTA, INDONESIA. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! THIS MADE MY WHOLE DAY! But if you know how to enjoy jakarta, it's a very beautiful city! TERIMAKASIH SOULPANCAKE! Much love from indonesia!
By the way, i know this channel because the teacher showed us one of this channel's videos and now i'm so happy to say that this channel motivates me to smile more and always respect other people.
+Faisa Syahla Sabila It's people like you that motivate US to smile more!
SoSonia is my favorite content on SoulPancake, hell, even on youtube, right now.
My favourite thing of this video is the percussion improvisation by you and your cute artsy friends. Seriously, 2:45
+nanahulia Thank you! That was the best part to film for me : )
I love her style her voice her art. She is so beautiful and soothing. It calms me down and I want to be creative too :-).
I am just so in love with the first shot and the audio und aw, I can rewatch it just again and again. I love the video as a whole, but this slomo shot together with the music and Sonia's voice is heavenly good
.
This is a very relatable take on Jakarta and somewhat very heartwarming, thanks. Keren, Sonia!
Your videos are "poetry in motion" ~ you know how to take the elements of a good story & create the imagery to match. It's almost like watching how I read a book... the thoughts swirling before me to make a new world. Lovely work & I'll look forward to more : )
I LIVE AT JAKARTA (although the neighborhood side) I'm so proud of seeing this video :) Jakarta may be all kinds of horrible, but it has hidden beauty everywhere 😄😄😄

I've lived for couple years in Europe and always have chance to live there... but I'm back to Jakarta!... For me personally, it's more "live"... this is a real life! It's so dynamic and I always fall in love with the people and ... obviously the weather and cheap food!
I dare to say that this is my favourite videos out of all the others. I used to live in Jakarta too, and I think that it is very relatable.
aghhh you're incredible Sonia
'the city a mess, a glorious mess..
you don't fix the mess, you learn to see it "differently" '
True I live in Jakarta but I already know these tips so it's amazing to share them to the world
Too beautiful to be made for a city that is such an epic mess.
I know right
ah. jakarta.
like you, i grew up in a small town. and at 19, i pack my bags and move to jakarta. that was the first time i truly live on my own and support myself. and you know what? i'm glad i did it. this city, as messed up and chaotic as it is, play a big role on shaping my perspective towards myself as well as towards the world. and i think, had i stayed in my hometown, i would be a very different person than i am now.
dude, Sonia, THIS IS SO GOOD
Great work as always, this is incredible.
I am moving there next year and I can say that your small video is the most useful thing this 55 year old man has seen in relation to the city. Thank you
I miss watching the chaos from a car or taxi. Never a same ride. Jakarta may be crazy, but it keeps life interesting.
I feel this Sonia
Where is sonia please bring her back!😢
Wow. That could easily describe my situation. Only that I'm in Ahmedabad, India. I arrived 3 days ago and I hated the city. Than I met some really nice people and now I will live here for a month or so to volunteer. Now I start to see the beauty of this city.
+Netzpoet I am so glad to hear that! You are very right, people can make all the difference in a place! I hope you are enjoying your time in India.
this was so beautifully illustrated, well done sonia :)
I'm moving to jakarta next month and I'm really scared because from the first glance I know that it isn't my favorite city and I'm also worried about living alone there. thankyou so much for this video, I find it really comforting. keep up the good work! the concept, cinematography, and editing are amazing!

sosonia, this is so creative.. your videos are teaming with possibility. I admire the endless tools you've honed to express yourself. super inspiring.
after watching a few videos of sosonia, i really wish i can sit down over some tea and see what's in her mind. Very intriguing, like a puzzle piece i never felt before but so familiar.
Insightful journal/art piece. Thanks for sharing it.
I love the way you see things differently. Most of the footage taken in South Jakarta. Which is where i am right now, Kemang. This is amazing.
