First Impressions of PADANG INDONESIA 🇮🇩 You'll Love this City!

[@Jetmab04]

Such a beautiful place! The mosk is stunning. Also I have visited some and yes, when dressed properly and respectful, women are treated extremely polite and respectful!! Architecture is always beautiful there and, I think I told you before, the priest (whatever they are called) in the mosk closest to my Riad in Marakesh almost became my friend... We had a little friendly chat every morning when I walked by😊 Although he was well aware he could never make me a Muslim or anything else religious, he spoke and spoke and, I enjoyed our morning chats a lot. He made me feel "home" in Morocco.... Not a bad place to feel home 😊 Thanks a lot for sharing 😊

[@ayngelina]

Oh that's so lovely. A few friends in Indonesia told me that it's not their belief that they should try to convert people, as they actually have overlapping history with the Old Testament but I found people were really open about explaining things to me about the timeline of Mohammed vs Jesus, how beliefs are similar and different. Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims in a country and so even in a more conservative area like West Sumatra I've talked to people about issues like what is happening in Iran and they are also concerned as wearing a head scarf outside the mosque is not mandatory, and their belief is that women have equal rights, equal access to education etc. So many people express their faith as an act of love and it's really beautiful there. So different than what most people would expect.

[@Jetmab04]

​@@ayngelina 😊 yes and, what I found - especially in Morocco bú, also around the Muslim population here in Ireland, is the willingness and openness to actually communicate different religions - including the Western - and, interestingly I have found people from these communities, very open to communicate - also issues Westerners have and, why they are there. In fact, Muslims and a few Catholics, are the only people I have met, willing and interested in just communications about this subject - without any sort of indoctrination which is refreshing 😊 And Iran yes... I hope so múcb, to be able to visit this country some day. Let's hope.. We need peace everywhere - for everyone.... Thanks agaín for sharing - take care and, when will you be back in Ecuador??

[@ayngelina]

I’m not sure. I came to Colombia to get a wet passport replaced because I heard it would be faster than Ecuador but it’s not true and now I may miss my flight home to Canada for Christmas

[@Jetmab04]

@@ayngelina oh no!! What on Earth did you do to your passport?? You'll not miss your flight.. Just don't panic!

[@ayngelina]

It got wet in Indonesia and when I flew to South America it was stressful as immigration agents told me I needed to replace it. I came to Colombia as people said it would be faster than Ecuador but it has been so stressful.

[@ivanromanh7547]

Hello Ayngelina. Another great and informative video. I'm sure you are being missed in Cuenca.

Padang citizen here... Correction for 04:15, "Karupuak Baguak" or Emping Melinjo in Indonesian Happy for you to be happy in Padang "Our Beloved City, I Guard and Defend" (Motto of The City)

[@ayngelina]

I asked Alan about it who is also from Padang and he said “ It's about pronunciation from the person. Most people who live on the highland say it with 'g' And rest of it on the coast say it with 'b' That's how I heard it from then since I was a child.”

[@oktaroza651]

@@ayngelina Oh my bad Indeed he's right I forgot that in West Sumatera there are another pronunciation

[@ayngelina]

No worried I am just happy that you took the time to comment 😊

Hey, you should visit Pekanbaru too! :-) it's a beautiful city too. Oh! And after visiting Pekanbaru, visit Bandung and Semarang ❤

[@ayngelina]

I have a video of Bandung! Unfortunately I also visited Semarang but was sick the whole time.

[@muhammaddoni6874]

Hi Ayngelin, i always love your video.. You already learn much about west sumatra.. I can see You are coffee lover.. Next time if uiu order coffee in Indonesia.. If you don't like much sugar..you can ask the seller.. Is it possible to make sugar separate from coffee.. Mostly should be no problem.. One more thing.. In west sumatra the family name/suku come from mother.. Example i am a man.. My family name come from my mother.. Same as my sister family name.. One other thing that important in a family call Mamak.. Mamak mean uncle.. In indonesia call paman.. And Datuak as a leader of one suku/big family name.. You can visit istana Pagaruyung/Pagaruyung palace to get more detail information on Datuak.. Actually there is formal guide inside the palace.. Last time i visited the Pagaruyung palace in 2006.. Guide tour is free.. Not sure today.. Is it still free or not.. Sorry.. It just only suggestion go to Pagaruyung palace...

[@ayngelina]

I love that suggestion thank you 😊

[@muhammaddoni6874]

@@ayngelina OMG.. If you have time to visit.. Make me excited to see the video...Please ask the guide.. Why the palace has 8pcs roof horn.. But not other building... If i am not wrong.. There is a meaning for number of roof horn for every building.. I just forget the meaning.. Sorry..

[@ayngelina]

Oh that's a good tip, I will ask today!

[@yanm764]

Padang and west sumatra is a quite religious area. Therefore I don't think lot of people will drink beer as it's prohibited 😁😁😁😁 Sumatran coffee mostly from the northern part (north sumatra and aceh) and southern part from Lampung. For me personally, I like Toraja (kalosi) coffee.. very suitable for coffee lover

[@ayngelina]

There are places you can drink beer in Padang and a place that sells beer. But most people don't go to them and it's nice because at night you don't see people fighting or other problems because they had too much to drink.

[@yanm764]

@@ayngelina well at least the one that do won't be moslem...🤣🤣🤣

[@ayngelina]

well....some people do. I don't think everyone follows all the rules.

[@azwarazwin7463]

Thank You Ayngelina !!!!!

[@ayngelina]

You are so welcome!

[@k_and_m8745]

I really like when you mix exploration in with your food experiences. 40 hours of flights would be a killer.

[@ayngelina]

Thanks I'm trying to shift to a concept that is more travel but food centric. So to show the city but from a food perspective. I feel like it's coming together in Colombia. Also door to door it was 60 hours - I will never do that again.

[@k_and_m8745]

​@@ayngelina I really appreciate the food you show in your videos and really like when you add a little more of your surroundings/area you are in. For me it just adds a little more depth and let's face it, you explain things well. 👍

[@ayngelina]

I'm working on it. I think you'll see more of that in Colombia.

[@Jetmab04]

​@@ayngelina this IS definitely a very long trip... Don't you sleep when you are flying? I always sleep - makes the trip feel shorter and, jetlag almost disappear that way....

[@ayngelina]

I try to sleep but I can't always do it. In this case I only slept 10 hours.

i wish that i have the will to burn every calories i gained every time i went to sumbar. going to the park, visiting landmarks with so little visitors must've been fun. did you manage to visit Maninjau i wonder? just as a side note: the story of siti nurbaya was reimagined by a well known author into a novel. it is one of the old novels students need to study.. at lest it is when i was still very small

[@ayngelina]

I haven't been to Maninjau yet but I would like to go. Right now tourism in West Sumatra is still very quiet so it's the perfect time to go.

[@justinmason4404]

I was curious, do you like Indonesia or Ecuador best?

[@ayngelina]

Good question. They both have things I love its hard to choose because they are similar in some ways but also so different.

[@Customer-qf2pd]

Nagari Minangkabau. West Sumatera.

[@ayngelina]

ya!

[@birhamiakhir9606]

6.14 Sorry Miss, i think is not pig (pinky one) but boars too much to hunt by many villagers in Solok and Pasaman

You are right it's not the pink pig we know but better explained as a boar. Thank you for clarifying 😊
