One of my favourite since early 1980's: children palace at East Jakarta at Mini Beautiful Indonesia Park of over 35 cultures and traditional palaces around this world's richest natural resources the center of the equator with 3 timezones GMT +7, +8, +9 (Madurodam in The Netherlands is really tiny just as tiny and very poor as the country and the rest of western world). The last photo us family together was here, few weeks before Mother died with my younger sister right after her birth delivery November 6th 1986 Super Modern Jakarta International Airport The Best Airports in The World: Jakarta (Banten to be exact) and Singapore (Singapore's airport raw materials came from Indonesia) Sorry even Dubai and the rest of Middle East airports are too standard nothing special. My Beloved Birth Province Bantam (present day Banten province just next to Jakarta) the very first Dutch settlement in whole Indonesia before expansion to Batavia present day Jakarta, I was able to speak Bantanese first since birth then later Minangkabau of Sumatra, as daily I spoke Bantanese but my Father, Mother and much older cousins from Sumatra all spoken Sumatran. Bantam and Jakarta the real biggest hub of Asia and Pacific not Singapore not Hongkong. Jakarta only is 6x size of Paris Europe's largest city, Jakarta 2021 STA winner (Global best sustainable public transportation). There are many projects built to solve the floods around North Jakarta and Bantam/Banten. The media won't tell you as they're only focusing on the floods/sinking but not on the solution, one of so many reasons I'm not into tv and mainstream media as they dumb you down. Bantam on most western coast of Java bridging Jakarta and Sumatra with Krakatau/Krakatoa in between. Where South and Central Jakarta meet up, my childhood neighborhood also to Barack Obama, many foreign embassies around including Dutch embassy only 10 minutes walking from my first penthouse in year 2000 (Puri Casablanca Apartment Residence, next to old Dutch cemetery) while my Grandparents houses are around South and Central Jakarta since Dutch colonial period. Jakarta (6 times size of Paris, Europe's largest city) is sinking is hoax to lessen new comers to come in, Dutch Dam technology has been built on Northern coast of the Megapolitan. Jakarta is Winner of Global Sustainable Transportation 2021. Indonesia on world map had been pictured too small since 1569 Mercator, as 1577 The Netherlands-Belgium-Luxembourg were under the pressure of the Spanish. This Emerald of The Equator Line Real Indonesia in comparison to Europe is stretching from UK to Russia. #Jakarta #Indonesia #WonderfulIndonesia #WonderfulIndonesia2023

Visiting Taman Mini Indonesia before you go to other place of Indonesia is such a perfect way to do. you can learn about the places just from the miniature of Indonesia and get more excited when you want to go there. Whoever suggest this, Natalie or Carles, GOOD JOB!!

Kalian sungguh membawa saya pada kenangan masa kecil. Dulu kami jika liburan hari Raya atau libur sekolah pergi dengan keluarga besar ke Taman mini. Disana kami menikmati tiap tiap anjungan. Kami disuguhi hiburan sesuai anjungan yang kami datangi. Ada tari tarian penyambutan dan beragam souvernir yg dijual sesuai ciri dari daerahnya. Sungguh sangat menarik. Jika untuk makan kami akan menggelar tikar besar dan kami akan makan bersama ,makan makanan yang sudah kami persiapkan dari rumah. Dan...dulu masih terasa sejuk...sepertinya saat ini udara terasa panas karena pemanasan global.

The reason why the buildings in every region are different is because Indonesia used to be seperate kingdoms and sultanate. Hence the cultures are different. I love your energy! And I jealous both of you can stand with the heat! Can't wait to see your next vlog and hope you will get different vibes from every region you go

For your information, from Sabang to Merauke has a distance of about 5,245 kilometers, if you put in map of Indonesia in the middle of China, sabang (Sumatra) the right side of Indonesia will be in Nepal, the left side (papua) will be in japan that's how huge islands of Indonesia, it takes months or years to explore the Indonesian archipelago😊

[@NataliesPassport]

😱😱😱 it’s so big!! Hopefully we can still see a lot in our 2 months here 🤞❤️

[@luthfisidik001]

@@NataliesPassport You can jump to another island by plane, or you can take the train if you are on one island, or if the distance is too far you can take the plane, for example you are from Jakarta going to Surabaya, or jogjakarta, if you are using the train, take the train from Jakarta to Surabaya api 10.5 hours of travel, but by plane 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes if the trip is made from Soekarno-Hatta International airport. it saves more time if you use the plane, but the drawback is that we can't see the beautiful scenery, rice fields and plantations, we can only take the train to see it all

You definitely have to go to North Sumatera, specially Lake Toba and Samosir Island in the middle of Lake Toba. The scenery, the culture, the people, the food, the weather, they were all amazing. Basically almost like every other places all round Indonesia, but North Sumatera always have a special place in my heart.

6:24 You can actually enter those houses, try on some of the traditional clothing, learn the dances, and so on, however they appear to be under maintenance/renovation. The project was postponed due to the pandemic, and perhaps they will resume the project this year after the pandemic has passed.

All of the houses are supposed to be open for visitors, but I guess some were still under renovation. I’m glad that you at least get to visit the Papua pavilion. 7:05 I’m from the province of South Kalimantan where we have a lot of rivers and they’re supposed to represent our traditional boats, but sadly they don’t usually come on amphibious wheels 😂 10:48 those statues are replicas of the real deal from a national park in the province of Central Sulawesi, a long way to go from Toraja in South Sulawesi that you’re visiting. 15:04 There are actually tribes in the province of South Papua who live in treehouses, Google “Korowai” if you want to find out about them. 18:33 I feel sad for the condition of the reptile museum. I hope that the staff is taking good care of the reptiles there.

[@NataliesPassport]

Ahh thank you for this!!! We were still so curious about those boats so it's good to have an explanation from someone who's from there! We'd love to visit Kalimantan one day (although unfortunately this trip we don't have enough time). We'd love to be able to see the statues in Central Sulawesi if we can make it that far! 😍

You travel around during heatwave in Asia! I am amazed....Indonesia is the 'coolest' area in Asia during this heatwave but still, it is too hot for traveling around even for locals. We don't travel at midday these days! FYI, the houses in Taman Mini are not usually open during working days. Some of them may be open in weekends but usually only when there is a cultural event in the specific house/spot.

[@NataliesPassport]

🤣 well we’re coming from Bangkok and it was hotter in Bangkok than Jakarta! So it wasn’t too bad 🥰 but oh wow we didn’t realize that about the houses!

10:30 If you were in Sulawesi, to be precise, you are in Makassar and you want to continue your journey to Manado, you can use the Trans Sulawesi train, it's still new because it's just was inaugurated a few months ago by the president of Indonesia, so you guys doesn't need take a bus because it will be a long journey.

[@atm-abutaqimayestino]

Yeah, as an Indonesian, and also someone whom had been there (The TMII or Taman Mini Indonesia Indah means Mini Beautiful Indonesia Park) I agree that it's quite a pity, that they don't provide specific and unique restaurant of the region's menus, in each of the Province's mock-up buildings/area. That should be marvelous, had they done so! Still, I suggest, do try the *Masakan Minang / Masakan Padang (West Sumatrans Food) as Beef Rendang (one special Minang style Food) was voted THE MOST DELICIOUS Meal in the world via CNN survey.* 😊 A Minang / Padang restaurant is quite easy to find all over Indonesia, since it is very popular, even with foreigners! Also popular in Jakarta. I suggest you two go to famous Minang restaurants in Jakarta such as: Sederhana SA chain restaurants, Natrabu, Pagi Sore, Garuda, Sari Bundo and so on. Do try that famous Beef Rendang, Dendeng Balado (Beef Jerky with Chili), Ayam Gulai (Minang Style Chicken Curry), Gulai Kepala Ikan (Fish Head Minang Style Curry), Sate Padang (Beef Satay - Minang Style), Soto Padang (Padang Style Beef Jerky clear Soup with spices, soft and tasty taste), Ayam Baka (Roasted Chicken - Minang Style), etc. They would put dozens of plates with various foods to chose from, you can choose anything you like, and you'll only have to pay for what you eat. *Other options:* East Java food. And since it is the most populated province, it has so many various popular menu like Soto Ayam Lamongan (Chicken Soto/Soup of Lamongan area with very rich taste), Soto Madura Daging Sapi (Beef Soto/Soup with very rich taste), Sate Kambing Madura (Mutton Satay - Madura Style), Rawon Daging Sapi (Dark Beef spicy very tasty Soup), etc. *Then, some of other popular choices:* Central Java Food, Aceh Food, West Java (Sunda) Food, Lombok Food, Bali Food, Manado Food, Banjar Food, Makassar food, and so on. Each with its own distinctive taste! Believe me, each one, and all, are good! Since most of the best spices in the world, come from our country! Also remember, Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) is very popular, and you'll find various uncountable variations all over Indonesia. And since you are now in Jakarta, as Jakarta is the largest city of Indonesia, a 'melting pot of cultures', I think you'll be able to find all of those Menus in Jakarta quite easily. The good ones, and sometimes the bad ones, I must say ... *Last, as you already found out, Indonesia is indeed huge! The World's largest Archipelago! Between two huge continents and two huge oceans!* *Our country consists of over 17,000 islands, over 1,300 ethnic groups, over 700 languages* ... *With around 280 million people, Indonesia is the world's fourth-most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority country.* *Java, the world's most populous island, is home to more than half of the country's population.* Welcome!

I asked my foreign friend who had an opportunity to travel around Indonesia. I asked his impression of Indonesia, and his first exclamation is: "Each part of Indonesia is different!" Indonesia has around 17.000 islands. If you hop on one island per day, you'll need around 46 years to complete. In my around 20 years of traveling around Indonesia, I still find something new in every part.

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, also known as Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park, is a spacious cultural park in Jakarta that showcases Indonesia's diverse cultures and traditions. It features replicas of traditional houses from various Indonesian provinces and islands, as well as museums and exhibits showcasing the country's history and art. In the past, visitors who wanted to get around TMII could use private transportation. However, after being taken over by the government and revitalized last year, currently visitors who want to get around TMII can only walk or ride the vehicles that have been provided.

What you see some scary stuff in each area is only in the past. Now everything is more modern, but we must not forget the past. Every tribes and ethnics in Indonesia have traditional weapons, and have a traditional "war dance" too, for centuries. That's because of colonial era in the past. In that situation, traditional weapons were created to fight in order to defend their homeland from colonialism. That means there are hundreds kind of traditional weapons in Indonesia. Part of them did not remain again, because the weapons were confiscated by the colonials and their skills in making weapons were also vanish forever. But there are still hundreds of traditional weapons from other tribes and ethnics that have been saved. *Indonesia is HUGE. Quick info about indonesia:* Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world with 17,508 islands, Indonesia's land area is 1,919,440 km2 and an ocean area of 3,257,483 km2. The area spans 3,977 miles. Indonesia has 127 active volcanoes, the most in the world. There are more than 360 ethnic groups and 652 regional languages in Indonesia that have been identified and validated. It includes dialects and sub-dialects, there are 718 languages, as much as 90 percent are spread across eastern Indonesia. Indonesia has more than 75 traditional dances from Aceh to Papua. The chairman of the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI) revealed that the number of mosques in Indonesia is more than 800,000, and that includes the Musala (small mosque), and and there are more than 70,000 churches spread across various regions in Indonesia. Some of them have large buildings and magnificent architecture. Even though the majority is Muslim, Indonesia has more than 1000 ancient temples (not modern temples, they are difference), so Indonesia deserves to be called the land of 1001 temples. The national symbol of Indonesia is the Garuda bird, a big and very tough bird in Hindu stories. Indonesia's national motto is in Sanskrit, namely Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, which is written on the cloth gripped by the feet of the Garuda bird on the national symbol. The meaning of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is "Unity in Diversity". The latest inventory results in early 2022 stated that currently there are 1818 bird species in Indonesia. This makes Indonesian bird species make up approximately 17% of the total bird species in the world, which reaches 9700 species. There are approximately 25,000 species of flora in Indonesia or more than 10% of plant species worldwide. It is known, currently there are a total of 4,782 native Indonesian fish species spread across various water areas. Of these, 1,248 freshwater fish species, 3,534 marine fish species, 130 endemic fish species, 120 introduced species, 150 endangered species, and 13 invasive species. There are 2,500 species of mollusks, 2,000 species of crustaceans, 6 species of sea turtles, 30 marine mammals, and more than 2,500 species of marine fish. The area of Indonesia's coral reef ecosystem is estimated to reach 2.5 million hectares. The number of tourist attractions in Indonesia is more than 2,500 locations, 1,865 are managed by the private sector, 556 are managed by local governments, 72 are managed by the Authority and as many as 59 tourist objects are managed by the central government. Indonesia has the most number of malls and plazas for shopping in the world, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) notes, there are 649 shopping centers throughout Indonesia in 2020. And finally, it is recorded that there are more than 5,300 authentic Indonesian dishes, is that crazy?

[@NataliesPassport]

It is SO huge here!! 😱 thanks for all the great info! ❤️

[@user-do1jh4tn3v]

Thank you for this comprehensive info, @indocropcirclesofficial. This is the type of info I’m waiting for in videos like this… Having said that, I wanted to give feedback mainly to the female vlogger here, although it’s nice to see how appreciative you are with the culture you’re exploring… I didn’t appreciate how limited your reactions were to “it’s so scary… it’s so pretty!” It’s the first time I watched any of your videos so maybe this is too early for me to feedback but just based on this video I hoped to hear more culturally sensitive and conscious comments/insights. Each culture and indigenous group has thousands of years of context, history, and their own worldview, it would be good for a new explorer like you to give it the respect and reverence it deserves… not just reducing what you see to something as “scary” or “pretty.” My two cents. Especially since countries like Indonesia who have been colonized have experienced years of injustice from western colonial powers… people from the west must also help reverse that Intergenerational trauma inflicted by colonialism by being more conscious and respectful of these cultures you’re trying to get to know in the modern age. I hope your other videos provide more context and a deeper level of understanding for each culture you encounter. Thanks for this video though, at least people get a little idea of how Taman Mini looks like.

[@danycahyadi422]

I'm even click like it before i watch..welcome to Indonesia hope you're enjoy ❤

[@NataliesPassport]

Aww thanks so much 🥰

[@karuhunmawilis5390]

What you must visit if you are in Indonesia is the city of Cirebon, especially East Cirebon. You can visit Alun Alun Ciledug which has lots of games and food. Swipe you can visit AJIMUT Hill in Waled Bukit District which is very beautiful. Swipe again and you can go to Baro Beach, Gebang District. There is a very beautiful beach, East Cirebon 250 KM from Jakarta. You can take the train from Senen Station and immediately get off at Ciledug Cirebon Station. Train to Jogyakarta...! There are many hotels and accommodation available in Ciledug, Cirebon...!

[@NataliesPassport]

Hopefully I can visit there one day! ❤️

[@wiwitcwit]

Taman Mini is a nice place to visiting. You go to the right place.

I think they are not fully open.. lol.. They just barely finish refurbished the place.. they might need more time to fully open the place just like back in the day... I remember climbed the tall house using the traditional carved narrow stairs, and sit on the top watching the aeromovel passing by. back then they have so many things going on. I won my first traditional dance competition there when i was 5 yo lol. I hope you guys enjoy Indonesia so far.

[@NataliesPassport]

😱 that’s amazing! We REALLY wanted to climb up the treehouse but it was closed 🥺 I guess we’ll have to visit Jakarta again when TMII is fully open! ❤️

[@arjunrivai1456]

[@NataliesPassport]

TMII is such a cool place to learn about some of the many cultures of Indonesia! 😍

[@darfandarfan707]

11:00 those stones come from central sulawesi. You can google "taman nasional lore lindu" or lore lindu national park where you could find some megalithikum pre historic stones. Some of my friends are going there in Early june. Maybe both of you could join them. Coz visiting a remote place like that is not cheap at all, we should rent car with driver. It is not a well-known touristic place. Even the locals are rarely going there. Why indonesia has so different culture between west and east? You can google "sundaland", it would be explained how the indonesia's culture formed.

[@NataliesPassport]

😱 somehow we just saw this comment now! But that would be amazing 😍 we're actually heading to Toraja now.....but then it depends on our visa 😬 we're going to try to extend our visa Monday and if we can't extend we have to leave in exactly a week!
