Sumatran Coffee is the most well known coffee from Indonesia in the western world, however it's not the "Best" we have, it's the quirkiest. due to the natural processing it often described to be heavy, woody, and earthy. and the coffee you get from the traditional sellers would't be the best example to enjoy it just because "it would not be palatable for westerners". and it's not just sumatra, across Indonesia traditionally we don't enjoy coffee with all the modern coffee fuss. we roasted the beans almost to a charcoal, and we adds sugar (in jogja, people literally add wood charcoal lol). anyway, if you wanna experience all the subtlety of Indonesian coffess, try modern or upscale coffee places. and try beans below - washed/semi washed(just for fun) Aceh gayo - washed Bali Kintamani - washed Kerinci - washed Ijen - washed Wamena to the extreme: Natural/honey/black honey Aceh Gayo

[@micropand]

Westerners (and non-Muslims in general) need not worry about Sharia law in Aceh. It applies only to Muslims. Non-Muslims are subject to the same laws as everyone else, including paying taxes. They may also face fines for violating certain regulations, but they cannot be sentenced to punishments specific to Sharia law.

Hey, just wanted to say that I appreciate your honesty. Sometimes people tend to shy away from expressing their opinions but glad that you’re not one of them. I’m glad that you’ve told the locals that you don’t believe in anything, it’s a lesson for them that not everyone who’s not Muslim is automatically a Christian 😁 I’m also happy to hear things that you don’t agree with. In general, provinces in Indonesia have less autonomy than states in Australia, but the province of Aceh is an exception as it’s considered a special region so they have their own bylaws. One thing to be aware of is that these bylaws are usually results of political maneuvering. Politicians might propose a bylaw to make themselves look pious and thus boosting their political careers. The curfew for women was actually put in order during the time of a female mayor in Banda Aceh, while one who wanted to lift it was a male governor. This doesn’t actually point out to anything for them as individuals, it’s just politics. As in other places around the world, religions are potent when used as political tools. Cheers from the province of South Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Indonesia 🇮🇩🍻🇦🇺

welcome to Indonesia sister. In Islamic teachings there is a term "prevention is better than cure". The evil sources of destruction in society are alcohol, gambling, fornication, interest, and all of this is prohibited [Haram] in Islamic teachings, the policy behind this prohibition is to maintain peace and tranquility in society. And as far as I know, this punishment applies only to Muslims, not to non-Muslims who live there [unless they do it in public], because if you do it in your own private place it's not a problem. Like if someone is homosexual, as long as they don't act in public and don't campaign [show] their ideology, it doesn't matter [so it's their own privacy]. So enjoy your trip!!!

You know what's not haram in islamic teachings tho ? Marrying children - having sex slaves - beating ur wife if she doesn't listen to u - drinking camel piss - drinking liquids full of flies - not washing ur hands before eating. So much for harm prevention. Truth is Sharia law is a 7th century law for people from the 7th century and it has no right to be applied on ppl of the 21st century. We have way more knowledge now than ppl of 7th century and we should make our own laws based on maximizing happiness of freedom. Sharia law only works on people who believe their lives are meaningless and the real life is after they die. That's why they give up all their joy because they've been indoctrinated to believe it's not worth living.

​​​​​​@@afnanfaris8071yeah.

Such great idea to visit the city of syariah ACEH ... Actually no big different with others city in indonesia...only straight law and regulation base on islam syariah law ... Very simple way is just follow the rules or law .. Nothing is huge or scarry thing,just being to understand what is it.. Simple simple law like any moslem country ... No bikini open dressed no rude manners like other culture no drunk or any alcohol ...the rest is normal life ..nothing to be worried or and scare of .. But aware the manner and dress or any attitude ... Like when you visit malaysia or singapore ..same with straight rule and regulation ...as long as we do care and obey ...nothing to be worries ... Event you made mistaken and in unpurposes...they still has undesttanding tolerance for mistaken because you are just visitor ot just normal tourist who has own background and religion ...we still do have understanding or tolerance as long as not happening (again) for the second time ... We always welcome We still has lovely smile ..warm and love to connected ..like typical indonesian people. So nothing to be worries or scarred ...

Its been greatly emphasized even in Australia with the lakemba ramadan markets and in liverpool. But the idea of ramadan is to connect back to God and reset, re learn ur religion and to have a good connection to it 😊 i hope that helps. Fasting helps u too focus on what God has asked of you.

Agree. and the Sharia Law applies on Muslim only, while for non Muslim just need to adjust with it just like what she did. about going out aftr 11 PM at night, it's OK for girls too as long as she goes with her father or husband or brother or cusson. it's for their safety, beside no girl goes out alone after 11 there because their parents especially mom will not allowed her. for bule i think it doesn't apply either, of course bule girl can go anywhere she wants as long as still in the rules, not doing bad things according to Sharia law. actually the rules made for women's good, safety, and dignity.

as Indonesian, as long as you not have personality creating a Problem. Aceh is one of Province to retire and best slow living in Indonesia, especially if you are MUSLIM. Great Food, No pollution, religion ambiance. although the health fasilitation is not sufficient ( i hope it will improve soon), you can easily go to Penang to have medic treatment. another notable place is Mollucan area. The weather, food, beaches ❤. by the way there are only few places without earthquake in Indonesia. volcanoes eruption, earthquakes, Tsunami and recently Liquifaction are something that common here 😢.

Thank you for visting in Aceh Indonesia. As an Australian born and Indonesian descent person. Indonesia is welcome to all tourist though majority is Islam practise religion. Indonesian people are very hospitality people, no matter what background you are. FUN FACT: Aceh, if you dont know about our anicent history in Indonesia was the first blueprint on bringing Islam to Indonesia mainly in Sumatra and Jawa provinsi. Teaching many Islamic scholars and thus having today (contemporary Indonesia) majority as Islamic faith in the world. Aceh provinsi is important in Indonesia because its what spread the Islamic religion everywhere in Indonesia. ❤

Beautiful video to watch, so glad you were able to build and experience many connections. Though you had some pros and cons I do believe there are some misconceptions or misunderstandings that you may have had which is totally acceptable seeing that there may be some language barriers. Many countries that impose sharia law usually only enforce it to its citizens and not tourists/ non-Muslims within reasoning. I applaud you for trying to respect all the rules and just fully embracing the culture/ beliefs. Thank you for your honest and non-biased opinion I hope you get to enjoy many more trips, you just gained a follower as I would love to follow along with your journey! Peace from Canada 😊

What people don`t know about `Syaria Law` in Acehnese Province, is a mix rule between Indonesian Law. I will gives you an example, If someone do `Fornification`, the original punishment in Islam for a Fornification you will get `mass-stoned` untill death. But here in Acehnese Province of Indonesia, you only get lashes with a small bambo in public. (Before you gets lashes, you wear a thick body protector). I was real Acehnese from my anchestor, in my Village in West Acehnese (Nagan Raya), what people testimonies about getting this punishment is : `The bamboo lashes is not that hurt, but the shame is unberable...`. So, That`s why... Syaria Law is really depended on the leader take place, when this Syaria Law were implemented. Acehnese Province, is just like a another common Indonesian province,. Nothing to worried about it...

Not all Muslims respond to "assalamualaikum" greetings from non-Muslims.
