I Got Denied Entry To Indonesia 🇮🇩

Our plan was to cross the Malaysia / Indonesia Border - But that plan failed!
Previous road trip video (1st time in rural Borneo) ➡ • My First Time In Rural...
We found a rural border crossing point between Malaysia and Indonesia and thought it would be fun to enter Indonesia. Our idea was to spend 1-2 hours there, get some Indonesian food and then come back to Malaysia. We almost made it into Indonesia until one little thing failed….

There is a saying that Man proposes, God disposes! But because no one works and you can't enter Indonesia, this reason is too outrageous!

See how people from Indonesia so welcome to you, they ask for photos like you are a Superstar, this reminds me when my husband’s first came to Indonesia, we went to several places were several times people asked for photos to my husband and he said he felt like a Superstar that never got in his country. He looked like a very happy man that time. LOL

if ivana is fluent in indonesia then she must also be fluent in malay language because there are 99% similar each of these languages.

[@izwaspayne]

As a Malaysian myself from my experience usually we just communicate with Indonesian in Malay language and they reply back in indonesia language no problem as both language most of the times has the same meaning since both of the language came from the same root

[@transparention]

the border area where you entered indonesia is a rural place.. white foreigners (malay language: orang putih; mat saleh, indonesian language: bule) rarely entered indonesia through there, so the indonesian villagers rarely see a White foreigners.. that's why they are pretty excited to see you guys

Go To Glodok Chinatown. try TEk Kee. ice coffee and Nasi Campur. Nasi Padang is authentic in Indonesia not like in Malaysia. Try the one in Jalan Nusantara Sari Bundo or Basement of Plaza Indonesia Under grand Hyatt hotel. (Sari Ratu). presentation is different than Msia To pay what you eat even they serve you in abundance . Don't forget Gado gado Boplo. . at near Ambasador mall. try to go to Thousand island from Ancol. boat marina. must booked before hand.and at Night try the high roof top bars in town /nice view. they in Jakarta around CBD area Sudirman.
