Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- If you travel to Raja Ampat, (West Papua, Indonesia) you have to transit through Sorong! We start from the Jefman Airport in Sorong, explore the transportation options, and head to the Swiss-Bel Hotel. We then spend the day exploring Sorong. Highlights are a visit to the night market and going in search of ice cream. Visiting local markets gives us a great sneak peek into the daily lives of what people eat and use. We get to practice learning a language and using a new currency. Markets are one of our favorite places to visit. This episode ends with Cedar and Jonathan walking the streets to find ice cream. Are they successful?

Welcome to Sorong, enjoy traveling in Indonesia that is like heaven, you and your family will feel at home and want more time, stay happy with your family!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Indonesia has been an amazing travel destinations. I look forward to more exploration of this beautiful country.
Glad to see you all happy 😻
Raja Ampat is so amazing!
I've never been in Sorong, but I did spend 6 years of my childhood in Jayapura, Papua. Several times exposed to Malaria, but it was in the late 80's. I have no idea about the recent condition of Papua.
By the way, it's nice that you added Indonesian subtitles. Not perfect yet, but it's still ok. I just laughed a little at minute 2:50. It said 'penipuan'. 😁
penipuan = scam
pemindaian = scan
We really like living and traveling through Papua. Growing up here in the 80’s must of been fantastic. It’s so beautiful here. We have a fairly large Raja Ampat playlist coming out including village tours, cooking classes, music, and more. :-) My plan is to post every Wednesday and Sunday. 👍
Thanks for noticing the Indonesian subtitles! Someone mentioned that it would be helpful for people, so I watched a couple UA-cam videos on how to and them. Clearly, I’m still learning. 🤣
@@BagsPackedFamily or maybe u really got scam? Maybe this is your soft way to tell it! Is it?? You must tell the truth so our authority can do something serious about that, we cannot tolerate it if there is !
@@BagsPackedFamily im from indonesia but im stay in usa right now,i have like a 8year here.,,
im ur new subscriber… omg you trip into paradise 😊🤙🏼 🏝 welcome to raja ampat 🙏
Thank you! 🙏 New Indonesia videos on Wednesday’s and Sunday’s!

Itu keren! kami sangat menikmati mengunjungi Raja Ampat. kami berharap untuk berkunjung ke sana lagi segera!
Love to see your beautiful family..
Thank you for the kind words! 🙌
Indonesian people are very friendly
Everyone was incredibly nice to us. I loved seeing all the people interacting and playing with our kids.
sorong be like : in ur dream
Have to check out the night market next time. Great work Travel Hackers!!! 💪🙌
Thank you! The market was very cool. Next time, I’d go a little earlier as many of the vendors were starting to close.
I definitely need to pickup a light before fall break. 😆
Local peoples very friendly❤
Great vid mate🤙🤙
Thank you! Raja Ampat is amazing!
Nice to see you go around Indonesia, fell secure , even at late night, remote locations. That,s general situations Indonesia.
Thank you. We definitely felt a safe vide to Makassar. Even in the evening.
wow !
🙌
Terimah kasih mister, sudah mampir di hotel swissbel sorong
Great video 😍. Happy family ❤️
Thank you for your support! We had a lot of fun exploring Sorong.
Ice cream is almost a daily necessity in the hot weather!
Gopro9 footage looks great. Saw it at the store. Debated for a few months, but went with dji pocket 2 recently.
Absolutely with the ice cream! 😆
I also went back and forth about the GoPro. For me, it was getting too difficult to deal with the weight/bulk of the Sony A7iii on a gimbal, while helping Kelly manages the kids as we are traveling. So, I made the hard switch to the GoPro because it's completely pocketable (much like the DJI pocket 2).
Now that I had it for a couple of months, I do really like it. The only thing I'm considering modifying is something with the audio. I might pick up the Rode Lavalier GO, before our fall vacation, and running the cord to my phone or some sort of third-party recording device. I'd then sink everything in post. What are you using with the DJI?
@@BagsPackedFamily One reason I went with pocket2 vs original pocket was the improved audio additions, as it has 4 stronger mics. Their addon package also includes a wireless mic/input, but I didn't purchase the addon. We'll see how the audio turns out in the future videos. Some past videos (when I only used my Samsung S9) , you see I have the headphones, which is only for the mic that came with the phone, which I think provided fairly reasonable audio.
Your audio definitely sounds good.
Amazing
welcome to Sorong..
Happy family kids was wonderful enjoy trip
Thank you so much 😊
Visit North Sulawesi (Manado),,you can see Tomohon,,Bunaken and stay in Manare Resort👍👍
Absolutely! We definitely want to spend time exploring all of the Sulawesi regions. The big market in Tomohon looks intense! 🐍
Nice one Jono, just a bit of information. Touching hand of kids or even the face is a kind of culture showing they love and caring the kids so don't get them wrong.
Thank you for letting me know! Everyone on Sorong was very nice. 😊

Hello I'm one of your subscribers who comes from the city of Sorong
Thank you for the support!

YOU HAVE TO BE SMART WHEN YOU BUYING IN INDONESIA.. SOME PEOPLE THERE IF THEY NOTICE YOU'RE A FOREIGNER THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE AND GIVE YOU CRAZY PRIZES
I was in Hong Kong and they try to take advantage of me. I speak fluent Cantonese, don't try to scam me!

Welcome to indonesia brother
Thank you! Indonesia 🇮🇩 is an amazing country to explore.
Very nice place like in Phil...
Thanks, Ms. Beth! We really want to visit the Philippines!!!!
15:10 "dadah"=bye
Actually came from Dutch "daag" which means "bye". Bahasa Indonesia has many loan words from Dutch, since they colonized this region quite sometime.
Thanks for letting me know a little bit about the language history. I will learn it sedikit demi sedikit!
Formal form of bye = Selamat Tinggal
Terima kasih!
Great video. Enjoy Indonesia
Sorong is such a cool place to visit and a great stop before Raja Ampat. :-)
Mantap
Terima kasih!
Looks like forrest is like a rockstar
You is good father mr 👍

Thank you for wishing us well! I’ll definitely look into adding Bahasa Indonesian subtitles. 🙌
Added!
@@BagsPackedFamily thank you so much 🙏
Thanks for helping me learn a new skill! 😆🙌
Yeaaaah papedaaaa
Just like an ordinary supermarket like Ranch 99.
Hope you later explore Sumatra.
Sorong is my city hehe
👍
Nice video. What i can sum up as Indonesian we need to learn English harder. Our government should put many English teacher who has just graduated from the overseas university. Giving US more oral speaking than teories only.
Saya juga perlu belajar lebih banyak Bahasa Indonesia. Semua orang yang kami temui sangat ramah dan tersenyum ketika saya berkata, "selamat pagi!" :-)
baik turis dan warga lokal punya semangat belajar bahasa itu bagus pak, utk lbh memudahkan komunikasi yg basic juga nggak papa
krn di jepang pun warganya nggak byk yg bisa bhs inggris tapi turis tetap datang
karena ada faktor utama yaitu aman
Indonesian children already learn english since elementary school, but teachers mostly only teach without engaging children in actual conversations. No wonder children would say...nggak bisa bahasa enggres
@@MultiDivebomber it's not as simple like what you described lmao, the main problem is not with the teacher... the kids around my place, speak English fluently because while they go to a bilingual school, they also speak English on daily basis besides Bahasa. While other kids speak Bahasa & their local language. If you noticed countries like ph/India/Malay/Singapore with a lot of their ppl can speak English well because their society normalize it while mostly in indo, people wouldn't shaming you if you speak English as too western/not national etc
@@mariaannainditahernawati7132 ain't no way you compare japan with high IQ ppl with indo ppl, they don't really need to speak English in Japan
Indonesian people in Sorong 👍👍
We loved visiting Sorong! It's a great gateway to Raja Ampat. :-)
Selamat pagi 😆😆😆🤣
Go to wayag island sir
Thank you for the suggestion!
1:22 diffrent car in US sir hehe
Hi!

do you dive as a family?
Kelly and I dive, while the kids go snorkeling. Once they are just a little older, we will all dive together.
Hello, could you tell me the cost aprox. of groceries, such as beer, soft drinks and others? Thank you
I don't have an exact memory of the Sorong prices, but I do member feeling that the costs were reasonable.
use "siri" or "google assistant" to communicate 🙏
good suggestion!
mice sir
Terima kasih!
