    A lost laptop and a couple days of scrambling to borrow people's later....HERE'S THE FIRST OF INDONESIA VLOGS :)! Other series will resume as soon as I get my laptop back (it's at lost and found in SFO, cross fingers it's mine).
    I'm still in Indonesia now so you can follow the trip in real-time on Instagram: instagram.com/cupoftj/
    P.S. Stay until end of the vlog. There's something I wanted to share.

    Great video TJ!! Always wanted to go to Indonesia, can't wait for these travel videos!
    I think in the future you should do a travel video about packing light... but going to a cold location. I have a few plans in the next few years for visiting Europe during their winter season. I always worry everything will pack heavy due to bigger clothes.

    • @CupofTJ
      @CupofTJ  7 років тому

      OOO I basically had one suitcase for every season. What I did was pack a ton of thin thermals. Uniqlo sells a few and I used those. Then I layer the thermal + the one big jacket I bring around everywhere.

    Hi, TJ. I just found your UA-cam channel. Thank you for making your way to Batak Island, my hometown. What a surprise to know that you're Taiwanese. I had been staying in Taiwan (Hualien and Taipei) for almost 3 years, and I love Taiwanese people. The food there is soooo good, and I did make some time to have some delicious foods in Raohe and Xilin Night Market in Taipei. Keep up to spread the good things. And I miss Taiwan already!!!

    A lot of people in north sumatra are christian / budhist. So you could find pork based food more frequently in north sumatra / medan rather than other indonesian part.

    12:00, thats true, almost all indonesian have different accent in speak bahasa indonesia. you can trace ethinicity by the accent. javanese, slow n quite but very bold and very bass. sundanese, slow, flowing, treble no bass sound and cannot say F and V, like, FANTA sundanese said "PANTA" and VESPA, said PESPA, batak very fast and loud just like angry people shouting and yelling.

    @artlessandro 7 років тому

    and i would like to give you a recommendation about must visited destination.... it is called Mountain Bromo in East Java.... you should definetly go there....
    every morning, u can see the sunrise shines the mountain, u can visit the active center of Bromo, you can go to "Padang Savannah"(it is like a very beautiful field, but to go there, u have to experience a bumpy ride hehhee)
    and go try "Lemper" the Indonesian traditional snack... it is a must 😍😍
