What Did I Find In These Dutch Ruins!? 🇮🇩

Today we are going on a little jalan jalan on Banda Neira. Banda Neira used to be home to the VOC, the wealthiest company in the history of the world. This is an island that is full of history but unfortunately, it doesn't get visited very often. There are so many crumbling forts and houses that some of the richest people in the world used to call home. Today, I explore with Mr. Rey and we check out some of the old Dutch ruins.

Hallo Nick.. 👋 I like all your video in KZbin. Because, i see your video very exotic and I interested for watching😊 I hope one day, i can meet you 🤝 And Tell a story about history Molluca.

[@tomlandry2681]

VOC - The world's first multinational company. Bankrupt, due to corruption.

[@leefloresca7014]

Yes, I think so, it must be preserved for tourism & educational purposes for the next generations to come. History is interesting if people appreciate the essence of it.

[@darwatisuyono6026]

Banyak sekali kejutan di pulau ini, saya yakin banyak orang yg tertarik untuk mengunjunginya Benar apa kata Nick k Harusnya pemerintah ikut marenofasinya Dan bisa menggambarkan Atau memperagakan bagaimana kehidupan 200 tahun yang lalu Pasti banyak yg ingin mengetahui kehidupan 200 tahun yang lalu

[@nonameusereight]

Nick, saya kembali melihat video lama anda "how Indonesia became Indonesia" Sekarang anda sedikit paham bagaimana negara luar begitu terobsesi dengan Indonesia. 350 tahun dijajah Belanda tidak sebanding dengan 3 tahun dijajah Jepang yang begitu menyakitkan. Semoga anda menikmati indah dan kayanya Indonesia. Selamat berpetualang di negeri kami yg indah. Dan semoga anda selalu bertemu dengan orang-orang baik kemanapun anda pergi.

[@agusahadi6273]

Terima ksh utk bang Rey yg sdh baik membantu Nick,,, smg wisata di banda neira terus berkembang...aamiin

Always cool your video, about history dutch and VOC...

[@lapissurabayaekonomissiaha3150]

the rich people on Banda Islands are Perkenier...so the big house was their houses..they call it perkenir house.they own the perek(nutmeg plantation). every Perek has their own slaves. so the big house of Mr. schelling also one of the perkenier. if you go to Ay Island for example Perek Welvafen you can see the picture of One big Perek where the Perkenier live in big house in big land covered with big high wall and also the slaves rooms and the place where they used to dry the nutmeg during rainning season...i love the history and nature there...thank you for the videos...🙏

Love the way you explored Historical places in Banda. And the last minute was funny when you feelt awkward to go to the wedding that you dnt even know the people🤣🤣. Well, Thats a part of Indonesian culture. You dnt have to know the person to attend the wedding... hope you had great time in Banda. Hope you bring the good memory from there with you.

[@NickKTravel]

thank you!

[@giannishen]

That rich man's home is so big, it's a pity those paintings weren't taken away or collected! The historic buildings aren't well maintained either, and I'm sad for that! VOC (founded in 1602 and declared bankrupt in 1798), the Netherlands colonized not only Indonesia, but also Taiwan after Indonesia! After Indonesia, Taiwan was also colonized for 38 years. The difference is that the buildings and forts at that time are still well preserved in Taiwan. Some of them have become national monuments and popular tourist attractions in downtown Tainan! This episode is very informative and historical, thank you for taking us on a tour and explaining it in detail! The wedding at the end was the highlight, you did a real great job! 👍😄👏

[@NickKTravel]

interesting, I've been to Tainan a couple times actually. That was way before I knew about the VOC though lol

[@giannishen]

I didn't expect that a lot of rich people in Banda Neira, it can be seen from the buildings of their magnificent and modern houses.

Renovating that house and make an exhibition is a great idea but 1. where to find the money? 2. are there enough tourists there who'd want to visit it? 3. who would do it?? Also, "fill the rooms with stuff like it used to be"... where would they find those objects, except by making replicas? Furniture decays a lot faster than walls.
