Very happy to finally explore Jakarta 🙏 Really love the vibes here so far! If you're new here feel free to subscribe and follow the journey, I am going to stay in Indonesia for a few weeks💪 Video of my long journey across Indonesia to Jakarta ➡ua-cam.com/video/_3y3NJTqbYg/v-deo.htmlsi=K6veK6Bq3PkaweHv
Heey i saw your video since the Batam ..... at last you are arrive in Jakarta. Bajaj (tuktuk) it is usually cost much more than other transport also some area Bajaj cannot enter which are inconvenient.
Jamu is a traditional health drink that is very popular in Indonesia. It is a very, very healthy drink because it is made from native Indonesian spices
In most cases when Indonesians say “Hati-hati”, it actually means “Take care”. However, sometimes it can mean “Be careful” depending on the situation. The direct translation of “Hati-hati” is indeed “Be careful”, but it often means “Take care”. Hope this explanation helps you, Ken
35:40 "Es Sum Sum" is a traditional Indonesian dessert made from a combination of ice, coconut milk, pandan leaves, and mung bean flour, often sweetened with sugar. 48:40 The one you drink is Jamu Kunyit Asam."Jamu Kunyit Asam" is a traditional Indonesian herbal drink made from a mixture of turmeric (kunyit) and tamarind (asam) along with various other herbs and spices. It is known for its potential health benefits, such as its anti-inflammatory properties, and is often consumed as a natural remedy to promote overall well-being in Indonesian culture.
As a woman with depression, I am now really interested in doing what he does. Travelling alone across the country with minimal budget, it might be the cure that I need.
Indonesia, or south east asia in general, might be your best bet. Most of us are friendly to foreigners, prices are generally cheap especially in rural areas, and people are more than willing to help if you get lost or confused.
Sure, come to Jakarta. We have everything you call medicine for mental health. you will be grateful with your condition if u compare with people in there but they look so happy
I found that your smile can melt an iceberg and you make everyone happy! After traveling around the world, I discovered that delicious food doesn’t have to go to five-star restaurants, you can find it on the streets! That hash brown may seem simple, but I’m sure it should be delicious! Thanks for sharing the story of that photo, it was such a magical connection! Congratulations on finding the hair style that suits you best! 👍🤩🙌
They are not laughing you, but they are show their interest for to try conversation, although sometimes it fail and then they smile and laugh 😅😅 Greeting from Jakarta 😅
And so, we finally arrive here in Jakarta.....Maybe they don't see that many tourists which is why the locals are friendly and welcoming towards you. And as always, the hunt for football jersey in a new country begins..... Exploring local street food and mingling with the locals......Must have been quite an experience...... And I expect a new surge of followers and subscribers to the channels.... Take care and stay safe out there mate...Cheers!!!
in Bali and Yogyakarta they meet a lot of foreigner tourists, but they still very nice to everyone. not all but most people in Indonesia or in southeast asia are very friendly.
Anda adalah salah satu konten terbaik yg pernah saya nonton, anda orang yg baik, saat anda minum minuman tradisional kami saluth dengan hari kamu yg bgtu baik❤❤
50:10 , jamu is one the traditional herbal drink in indonesia, those bunch of liquid in a bottles r premade of the drink from either roots ,leaves , seeds and much more. later then they mixed it together to make a healthy drink. i really love that drink !
Really enjoyed your walkabout. and mingling with the locals, you are so simple, humble and not arrogant and that is what we love, spreading love wherever you go.❤
Really enjoy to watching your journey in indonesia especially from Kuala tungkal to Jambi, you are so humble person, i hope you're enjoy and happy in our country
This just goes to show when we treat ppl with kindness and respect, ppl mostly will do the same. Saw u in Tim Tense vlog. U got urself a new subscriber from Singapore. 😊👋👍👍
GOOOOOAL! Hey Ken you scored big with this video. Very entertaining, and the folks are so friendly. Keep up the good work. Watch out for that pesky music.😎
If you still in Jakarta, i suggest you visit these place: 1. Monas (National Monument) 2. Kota Tua (Old Town, many museums of Dutch colonial heritage) 3. Senayan (Urban forest, convenient for walks, sports centers such as stadiums) 4. Sudirman Thamrin street (Monument Bundaran HI, if you go to Jakarta you must go there) 5. Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII, learn about all Indonesian culture) 6. Dufan (Carnival) 7. Ancol (Beach, many streetfood, cycling along the beach) 8. SCBD (Modern of Jakarta) 9. Tour Istiqlal Mosque and the Cathedral 10. Museum Macan (Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara) 11. Sea world Indonesia 12. Jakarta Aquarium 13. Grand Indonesia Mall 14. Plaza Indonesia Mall 15. Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK 1&2 Chinatown, Beach, Cycling beside the ocean, the place is very comfortable)
5 to 7 are a waste of time. He learned more about Indonesia just going around than he would seeing some sterile houses in Taman Mini. Ancol and Dufan would be boring for a German guy just going around. Shopping malls and food places like PIK are also boring for European tourists. Old Town is good. They like using motorcycle taxis and trying street food more. He started the video with Monas so I don't even know why you mentioned it.
Hahaha, the lady was so lively, laughing. You officially visit Indonesia when you try jamu, wedang jahe (aka healthy traditional drink) Jamu (the one you drink at the end of video) is original and authentic, usually they make it from scratch from some plants like turmeric, etc, boil it, then sell it in a bottle
Ken I am really enjoying your first visit to Djakarta & your friendly interactions with the local people. Also the fact that when you are quoted a really low price you don't try and bargain for a few cents. Stay happy and healthy my friend.
At jakarta and west java you can explore : bogor and bandung.. then by train you can go to yogyakarta and central of java : solo, semarang and karimunjawa.. continue to east of java : malang, bromo, surabaya and banyuwangi.. the next go to bali and lombok.. this is the best route to explore indonesia.. 🙏🙏
Congratulations on achieving you goal to travel to Jakarta. The lady selling the bags was hilarious, such a happy person. You bring out the best in people Ken.
Hello Ken, I'm Eric from the Netherlands. It's the first time I've watched your video, and it's beautiful to watch. I will definitely watch more of your videos, thank you!👍❤
I've recently been watching your videos and wow their amazing. Although I live in Singapore I'm mixed race (Indonesian+smth else) I always felt belonged in Indonesia. Havent been overseas much but hope I can travel back there someday.
The "jamu" you drank in the end of this video I believe is "kunir asem" (And I think the lady seller mix it with "beras kencur" From rice that gave u a little sweet tone. Jamu kunir asem is a healthy drink from turmeric... And the additional drink is jahe with brown sugar/gula jawa... I personally love jamu kunir asem and beras kencur. But there are many more jamu that have a bitter taste, even I can't really stand for those.
Indonesia, the great leader of Southeast Asia, salutes Indonesia's progress both the military, like Kopassus, Denjaka, skull troops, their capabilities are extraordinary, there are many more if you mention them... Live for Indonesia, protector of the Southeast Asian country from us, Cambodia loves Indonesia
Salam persahabatan dari west Sumatera Indonesia yaitu daerah yang menghasilkan Rendang masakan khas Indonesia dan terima kasih anda telah menyukai negara kami 🙏
Hi Ken, i have known you and subscribed your Channel since 2 years ago when you were in Malaysia. I like to watched your Malaysia's Vlog. So happy that you have come to my Country, Indonesia. wish you all the best for your vacation. Have a safe trip, Have fun and enjoy it!
Perghhhhh.....that woman selling bags is really bursting with energy amazing,I plan to go Jakarta soon,might consider the ferry u tried from Batam on yur vlog earlier looks interesting,only thing it was to long a trip,in comparison if I take a flight from klia it's only app.2hrs, interesting vibs thanks fr d nice vlog,n have a great day mate
Selamat datang Ken. Thanks for visiting Indonesia. Although i am not from Indonesia i am very please that you are visiting Jakarta. It has a special place in my heart, my wife and maternal grandparents are from Indonesia. I consider Jakarta my second home away from home and Sabah Malaysia. My new home is located in Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in a small town or kampong as we say next to Lake Superior Michigan. I think of Indonesia alot especially during the winter months! We have lived here for over 30 years! Enjoy your trip and be safe!
I'm half Indonesian from my fathers side. Sadly I wasn't also brought up with the language. But I'm so proud to know that the Indonesian people, just like how I saw it with my family, are so generous, warm, kind and friendly! I've never been to Indonesia, but it's so awesome to experience the country where my grandma and grandpa came from!! Also Ken, please don't bargain at vendors when you already can get their stuff so dirt cheap in comparison to our European prices. They all need their income badly.
hi mr. Ken, thank you for visiting Jakarta, I really enjoyed watching your vlog, starting from Monas to Tanah Abang market, then walking while having street snacks until getting a haircut near my office.... hehe.. I really didn't expect it to turn out at the end of the video. can reach the area every day where I am. hiiii.. thank you very much, always healthy and successful to you Mr Ken 🤍
Wedang = water ( java language ) Jahe = ginger Es bubur ( porridge sumsum ice ) : sumsum made by rice flour,they put ice cube,palm sugar syrup,coconut milk,milk condensed,n pearl who made it by sago ( the pink one ) Ginger water its fit for rainy cold day. Not in a hot day 😂 but es sumsum its fit for a sunny day
Good evening from all wet Wales 🏴 Myself and @undereaten_muffins aren't loving your Indonesian journey. We're always in awe of the way you travel off the big tourist streets and get right in amongst the amazing locals. The lady selling the bags was hilarious 😂 I'm finding myself smiling throughout your vlogs because I'm enjoying them so much. Thanks for taking us with you 👍🙏🏴🇮🇩
This is something rare to see a bule (foreigner) walking around in the small alley in Jakarta 😅, anyway many people in Jakarta can't speak english fluently because they are shy or never meet bule (foreigners) before.
39:49 - He directs you to a barber shop, which is quite far. So then he suggests a closer one, which is a small "salon". In the end he said that you are very tall ☝😄
Hai bule ngevlog setiap hari aj spt ini yg melokal. Lumayan bikin ketawa gak nyambung kalo bicara dgn org2 lokal. Seru... Videonya hadir tiap hari yaa Mr Ken...
the best and heartwarming travel video to jakarta i've ever seen, i think you nailed it on 1st day in jakarta Ken. I have a good laugh almost the entire video.
Grab/Gojek might cost you only 15k, but that experience with the Tuk Tuk Driver certainly worth the price. His english is pretty good and freindly as well!
I just found your channel and I got to admire your positive attitude. I will be now binge watching your videos and can't wait for it. I've spent quite a lot of time in Germany, mostly in Schleswig-Holstein and along the Kiel Canal and Hamburg but also visited Bremerhaven once and also Bremen and Brake. Keep up the good work and stay positive! Kind regards and greetings from Helsinki.
Wow, what a great start to your Indonesia adventures. It's indeed a wonderful and fun experience at that Pasar/market area. Oh gosh, it's very interesting to see you buying that nice pouch from that jovial vendor 😂😃. Aaah, as always, you with your top notch bargaining skill, managed to get that bracelet at a fair price. Wonderful of you to try those street food, ginger drink (Wedang Jahe) and Indonesian jamu. I love your open- mindedness and how you interact with all those friendly and welcoming locals. Great video with fabulous content....enjoyed watching from start to finish. Good job and thank you very much for sharing this awesome exploration, Ken.
Great to see you mix up with the locals! BTW be careful with the ginger, too much of anything is not good. But ginger can cause stomach reset, though not harmful in any way.
Jamu is a typical herbal drink from Indonesia, it contains curcumin, turmeric, galangal, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. All from healthy and natural ingredients...
Hai Mr Ken..you should go to slums house area in JAKARTA..Only center of Jakarta look nice due to just do some renovation ..but if you go some others placed further in Jakarta then you can see so many slums house area with very bad condition and dirty with rubbish inside the river..Jakarta has no 2 the largest slums city in asean after Manila..and Bangkok was 3rd placed...so pls explore more about Jakarta...the fact about Jakarta...
@47.34... The lady is selling Jamu, a herbal drink. Jamu is a traditional Indonesian medicine made from roots, herbs, flowers, bark and spices. This version is one of the most popular and includes turmeric, ginger, honey and lime. It is usually boost the immune system. She was asking if you can take bitterness (pahit).
Hi Ken, I am glad you have this local experience. Make me miss home so much. Especially the lovely people of Indonesia❤. I've been to so many countries in Europe, people are not so friendly and dont like to smile, make our world seems depressed, especially during the winter. The last drink you had was Jamu. Jamu is a healthy herbs drink from Indonesia. Some of the Jamu ingredients contain turmeric, aromatic ginger, sand ginger, rice water, lemon grass, and coconut sugar. I think they have the bitter one too. It contain curcuma zanthorrhiza. These Jamu helps detoxify your body and increased immune system, they are proven scientifically have flavonoid, antibacteria and antivirus.
Interesting to see you are trying almost all types of street food & drink. You know few local words too. You are easily adopting to local people & culture too.👍
hey ken! great vlog as always. i hope you’re not too overwhelmed at the market 😅 indonesians are generally very friendly. i always feel like home every time i visit indonesia because of their hospitality. i love that you explored the more local side of jakarta and kept an open mind. it’s the most authentic indonesian experience you can get. “es sum sum” is a traditional indonesian dessert & “air jamu” is a healthy herbal drink that restores energy, improves blood circulation, good for digestion & many more. some drink it hours before… wink wink. looking forward to see more of ur indonesian adventures 🇮🇩🎉
In Indonesia we say hati-hati to mean take care actually, so if we speak in English we might say "be careful" out of habit. But I think the people in the market really mean be careful though as there are a lot of people there. Nice vlog, you explore the more local side of Jakarta which I like it to experience Jakarta as a whole.
The traditional drinks called jamu - its handmade from 100% leave or spices , the yellow colour it was tumeric that she soft boiled for at least 4 hours before she sell it for drinks , so actually it was good drink that you find .
“Bule” originated from the word “Belanda” in bahasa, it means “Dutch”, because long time ago all foreigners in Indonesia was from Netherlands and now is use to call all foreigners. Other word is “orang Barat”, which means “Western people”.
I think its originated from “bulai” in bahasa, which means “albinos”. Its because Caucasians have white skin and some Westerners who residing in Indonesia find the word stereotypical and offensive, but many Indonesian prefer to use the word “mister” to call foreigners 😁
Very happy to finally explore Jakarta 🙏 Really love the vibes here so far! If you're new here feel free to subscribe and follow the journey, I am going to stay in Indonesia for a few weeks💪

You want to have many Indonesian viewers, you can try riding luxury bus, LRT, MRT, or high speed train in Jakarta, good luck 😁😁😁
go to Baduy tribe.banten. no electricity, no internet, no modern goods.

The laughter from the lady selling bags is so infectious and it’s echoed throughout the Pasar Pagi. The joviality of the Indonesian. Amazing
Yeah that wasn't Pasar Pagi

G'day from Australia 🇦🇺. Love your videos. So positive and fun. Thankyou
Great to see you mix up with the locals! BTW be careful with the ginger, too much of anything is not good. But ginger can cause stomach reset, though not harmful in any way.

Welcome to Jakarta, Ken 👍🏼👍🏼 Hello from us 🇮🇩🇵🇭

This version is one of the most popular and includes turmeric, ginger, honey and lime. It is usually boost the immune system. She was asking if you can take bitterness (pahit).
Welcome to Indonesia! We wish you a great time here.
Thanks a lot 🙏
Hi Ken, I am glad you have this local experience. Make me miss home so much. Especially the lovely people of Indonesia❤. I've been to so many countries in Europe, people are not so friendly and dont like to smile, make our world seems depressed, especially during the winter.
The last drink you had was Jamu. Jamu is a healthy herbs drink from Indonesia. Some of the Jamu ingredients contain turmeric, aromatic ginger, sand ginger, rice water, lemon grass, and coconut sugar. I think they have the bitter one too. It contain curcuma zanthorrhiza. These Jamu helps detoxify your body and increased immune system, they are proven scientifically have flavonoid, antibacteria and antivirus.

hey ken! great vlog as always. i hope you’re not too overwhelmed at the market 😅 indonesians are generally very friendly. i always feel like home every time i visit indonesia because of their hospitality. i love that you explored the more local side of jakarta and kept an open mind. it’s the most authentic indonesian experience you can get. “es sum sum” is a traditional indonesian dessert & “air jamu” is a healthy herbal drink that restores energy, improves blood circulation, good for digestion & many more. some drink it hours before… wink wink. looking forward to see more of ur indonesian adventures 🇮🇩🎉
Having a great time here 💪
In Indonesia we say hati-hati to mean take care actually, so if we speak in English we might say "be careful" out of habit. But I think the people in the market really mean be careful though as there are a lot of people there. Nice vlog, you explore the more local side of Jakarta which I like it to experience Jakarta as a whole.
8:00 this lady is so lovely, such great energy!
The traditional drinks called jamu - its handmade from 100% leave or spices , the yellow colour it was tumeric that she soft boiled for at least 4 hours before she sell it for drinks , so actually it was good drink that you find .
Ken your never going to want to live in Germany ever again! Your having such a great time and it shows in this video. I will do your trip someday!
“Bule” originated from the word “Belanda” in bahasa, it means “Dutch”, because long time ago all foreigners in Indonesia was from Netherlands and now is use to call all foreigners. Other word is “orang Barat”, which means “Western people”.
I think its originated from “bulai” in bahasa, which means “albinos”. Its because Caucasians have white skin and some Westerners who residing in Indonesia find the word stereotypical and offensive, but many Indonesian prefer to use the word “mister” to call foreigners 😁
Selamat malam is good night and Selamat sore is Good Afternoon
Welcome to Jakarta Ken, enjoy your trip in Indonesia, i am from Jakarta
Thank you 🙏
Very interesting! Can't wait for next video in Jakarta
In indonesia you rarely get overpriced for foreigners, they are quite honest & friendly
