🇮🇩CULTURE SHOCK Moment | Circumcision Celebration in Indonesia

[@NickKTravel]

I think some people are confused at why I'm so surprised about this whole thing. It's not because of the procedure itself, it's because it's done after the boy has grown up. Where I'm from, we perform the circumsicion to newborns. So of course I have no recollection of mine. The topic of circumcision is not something that people talk about openly where I'm from. There is no celebration or ceremony, it's not casually talked about among people, so that's why it's "weird" or uncomfortable for me to talk about, because we just don't where I'm from. And it should be clear, I'm not an expert of Indonesian or Islamic traditions. Saya pikir beberapa orang bingung mengapa saya begitu terkejut dengan semua ini. Itu bukan karena prosedurnya sendiri, itu karena dilakukan setelah anak laki-laki itu dewasa. Dari mana saya berasal, kami melakukan sunat kepada bayi yang baru lahir. Jadi tentu saja saya tidak ingat saya. Topik sunat bukanlah sesuatu yang dibicarakan orang secara terbuka dari mana saya berasal. Tidak ada perayaan atau upacara, tidak dibicarakan dengan santai di antara orang-orang, jadi itu sebabnya "aneh" atau tidak nyaman untuk saya bicarakan, karena kami tidak dari mana saya berasal. Dan harus jelas, saya bukan ahli tradisi Indonesia atau Islam.

[@wawanhariyanto7574]

Di Indonesia,beberapa keluarga ada yg melakukan sunat kepada anak laki laki yg bahkan baru lahir,akan tetapi lebih banyak yg melakukan sunat ketika usia 7 sampai 10 tahun..dan dirayakan pesta

[@akatkat_]

I'm curious whether in other countries there are also celebrations like this, or only in Indonesia 😂

[@paulaldo9413]

A lot of people here don't know that Americans also have circumcision traditions. And I can't blame them though, cause America is one of very few (if not the only one) western nations that do it.

[@myalfa6368]

ask ibnu... he can explain you well

[@jamie4164]

😅 dont mind them nick

[@NickKTravel]

This is why I like traveling and putting myself in places and situations I'm unfamiliar with. I get to learn about cultures and people that are very different from where I'm from. In America, circumcision is typically done on newborn babies. So when I learned they were having a circumcision celebration for a 10-year-old boy, I was a bit "shocked". I now know that this is a widely practiced tradition not only here in Ngadas, but also in Indonesia and many parts of the world. As a rule of thumb, I always try to do my best to be respectful to the people and places I'm visiting, no matter how different or strange I might find them. They probably think I'm pretty strange at times too 😆 Remember, there is nothing wrong or embarrassing about being ignorant about something, LEARNING always comes from a place of ignorance. Thanks for watching, more videos from Ngadas to come!

[@EL_Rummi-Zaidan88]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@StupidChess]

It's a symbolism of coming to adult hood. A rite of passage. And why only one boy get celebrated? Probably because his family have spare money for this kinda event. The circumtition is a religious mandatory for moslem and jewish but the celebration it just a tradition

[@fadhilmuttaqien4881]

Nice to see every your video

[@andiwandi8724]

Nick may i ask you something? Why american has tradition circumcision not like most western in europe???.. it has story in the past???

[@NickKTravel]

it turns out the do this celebration many times during the year. I thought maybe it was once a year, but no, I was wrong again. I was in Ngadas for a few more days and they had other circumcision celebrations for other boys

[@rizkybayudwinanda3229]

Nick's giving out golden information here. Anyway, I've only watched the first 4 minutes of this video but I wanna clarify one thing. I'm not sure if this is a special case specific to the Tenggerese people, but in general, boys don't get selected for circumcision. All Muslim boys in Indonesia get circumcised when they reach puberty, like Wini Depuh (another commenter) said, and a huge celebration like this is very common. So it's not like a sacrifice where you choose a red heifer to burn on the altar. I think what the homestay owner was trying to say is that there's just one boy from one family that was getting circumcised that particular day. It's also common to have mass circumcision where boys from one locale get circumcised on the same day and the celebration is paid for in a shared manner between the families, but apparently not this one. Circumcision is usually seen as a happy occasion by boys since they could expect to receive gifts from neighbours and their parents, most commonly in the form of cash and/or toys, so boys do look forward to getting circumcised in a lot of cases. Also, circumcision for girls isn't as common, if not very rare in Indonesia. In Islam, it's mandatory for boys to be circumcised, just like in Judaism. For girls, though, the general concensus is that circumcision is recommended for purity and modesty, but it's not mandated, although there are still differences of opinion.

[@satriareza7501]

good explanation

[@Danny_Cho]

👍👍👍

[@fuadnasir2944]

I need to clarify, not when they reached punerty. Usually at the age 6-10. I think most of them before puberty. And about the ceremony, Nick should know that not all the boys who get sunat have a celebration party. It depends on the capability of the family. If rhe family rich, they will make a cekebration. If not, the boy just taken to the clinuc to get sunat then just go home.

[@rizkybayudwinanda3229]

@@fuadnasir2944 Ah, yes. Thank you very much for providing further points. About the age of circumcision, parents and religious scholars do have different opinions depending on certain factors, such as which Islamic school of thought they belong to, the physical and emotional readiness of the boy and parents, and so on and so forth. Some even choose to circumcise their children mere days or weeks after birth. But, I think it's safe to say that puberty is the maximum point according to most. I definitely agree with your point about the celebration. It depends on the financial power of the parents. Also, another interesting thing about circumcision celebration is the amount of different styles there is. There are the traditional styles of celebration depending on which ethnicity the family belongs to, there are also more modern styles which resemble Western weddings or engagement parties, and there are also more religion-centred styles where the focus is on the boy's spiritual readiness to enter adulthood.

[@NotInARush]

I have a smile on my face from the start of the video up until the end. I'm so glad that you experienced some things that even me, whose been to Ngadas couple of time, never seen before, and yet you experienced not only one celebration, but many. You were so lucky. And I'm also glad that Pak No, Cak No and all the people of Ngadas were treating you very very well. Spread the good news. Keep up the good videos.

Corrected: the old lady told you this "I'm sorry. I can't speak dutch (she thought you speak dutch). You can speak Indonesian latter if you want to talk, please. The boy who held the ceremony is my son." (So maybe the boy who get circumcised is her grandson) and she led you the way to ceremony or celebration.

I happen to live in the midwest (Iowa City) and one of my neighbors' newborns just got circumcised a month ago... granted, there wasn't any huge circumcision festivals in my neighborhood like in Ngadas (or any kind of celebration for that matter) lol... it's cool to see that it's quite common in the States nowadays, the CDC reported around 60% of newborns there have been circumcised. The highest rate of circumcisions are in the Midwest and Northeast.

[@mochamadhamim7237]

Love to see when you are realy joining to them of the ceremony and celebrating... Haha event in kitchen area... Let me tell one thing... In Tengger tradition there is one huge moment is part of they tradition its held once a year... We or they call it "Kasada or kasodo "... You Will see huge ceremony involving all entire Tengger community.... Its kind huge offering to they god... And its Will happend right of the Crater of Bromo... After praying together ... All entire villagers goes to crater of Bromo... Brought all the kind of offering..... Typical like Hindu Bali do so... From fruit or one of farm product .. Chicken goat event the head of cow everything ... So many offering that they did once a year... I don't really known when its Will held .. because they have own calender to do... And all the offering throw it away to the Crater.... Its interesting and fenomenal... If you interesting ...when its Will happend... You could ask the villager or the leader or the chief ... "Yadna kasodo" (hopefully I pronaounce right)... Is very populair moment... Will be so crowd...many visitor...event foreigner tourist. I suggest you to experience it .. Ask the local when its Will going on... Note: wear sarung put it arround the sholdier like they do ... So you like one of them...haha. No need to buy.. Just borrow to the them or the owner of your homestay.... Make a friend so you could explore more ...like you did with Ibnu. Believe me ...this people is amazing. No doubt of them. Stay well ... Stay save...

In Islam every boys are required to be circumcised when they reach "Baligh" or adulthood. Baligh/adulthood is when boys had their first "wet dream". I heard that it is not a required thing outside of islam, but there are non-islamic indonesian that chose to get circumcised.

It is the same question with my husband about Anesthesia. I told him, a long time ago no anesthesia, no doctor, Just people we trust for doing circumcisions, and They called them, Dukun Sunat or Bengkong ( in West Java )

I Will see your next video Nick, hope more suprise in it. I think you have to take advance Indonesian language lesson to make more easy when you talk with native speaker and without miss understanding.

I always enjoy your vlogs. I mean I'm indonesian but bcoz I live in the big city I'm probably more familiar with modern american/western culture than with this rural indonesian culture. This is something new for me. Great video 🎓🎖 I remember getting circumcised when I was in 2nd grade, we don't have a huge celebration like this but I remember my parents bought me a brand new PS2 and I would play GTA San Andreas all day 🤣

In Indonesia, when a child wants to be circumcised, it will be celebrated Because it's a boy's once-in-a-lifetime moment

[@yantibayu9924]

Terima kasih sudah mampir ke kota kami jangan lupa mampir ke kuliner nya brother

[@drinaros8539]

Indonesia is soooo big.. and also has hundreds of local languages,,, but if we speak in bahasa indonesia, we could understand each other easily.. it is super cool, isn't it? Only few people could speak or understand english fluently, but if foreigners speak in bahasa indonesia, we will admire them.. hehe..

[@justinus]

it's a common tradition in Indonesia to celebrate the boys' circumcisions, some have ceremonies like the one you saw

The doctor now has a more modern device for Circumcision, like a laser gun, stapler gun, etc... so it is less painful (with spray/injection anesthesia)
