Wow Chai, what a blessing man. Not only are you a top travel vlogger and gentleman but also a great son. That's inspiring how she went back to her roots after 60 years 😯 I'm almost 40 and I haven't been back to my place of birth in the Middle East since we left when I was a baby due to war and economic instability, and even now too dangerous there. Maybe one day I'll visit even if it's in another 20 years. Anyway, I really look up to you man, I mean that. I always look forward to your content. We need more pure souls like you on this Earth 🌎 Big love from California 🙏🏻
Welcome to Indonesia.... In the past, Indonesian families were almost always large families. They can have up to a dozen children. ...(for example, my mom has 11 siblings) even though they are economically unable to survive. That's why many parents give/allow their children to be adopted by economically more well-off families who need children. They hope their child will live a better life.
My Opa (grand uncle) and his wife also do that whenever they visit Indonesia, revisit and reminisce where they live when they were just little kid... They lived in Bandung city- Indonesia until their teenage years, before revolution war happened and they were chased away by the Japanese and revolutionary soldier to go back to The Netherlands. Now they are in their 90's just too old and too sickly to do long journey to Indonesia. I wish they are happy and healthy back in The Netherland. The funny thing that I always remember about them is that they always cry in every occation and they really like to kiss us on the cheek and hug us like there is no tomorrow 😂😂, and as a kid by the time, it makes me always wonder if The Netherlands is always very touchy and cry babies 😂😂😂, my Grandma also likes to cry alot, and my reference about Netherlands is just them, My Grandma and My Granduncle... 😂😂😂 Now I know that its the memory that make them that way always crying, always kissing, and always hugging. I think my Granduncle always feel that he lived too far from his homecountry (Indonesia) so everytime he came back, he made sure that he made the best of it, the memory of childhood.. 😂😂
@@chocolatecookie8571 his Dad (My Greatgrand Dad) was A Belijvers (like Marten Paes's Grandmother) married to a local Mojang from Subang. But he died in the prison, torchured by the TKR until he fell ill and perrished. My Granduncle has different fate, he chose to go back to Netherlands (well he actually got no choice between that or death). My Grandmother were allowed to stay in Indonesia because her second husband was a TKR General, and she was willing to abandoned all her Netherland identity, and convert to Islam. Her life was a rollercoaster, she was a true warrior...
@@iskotayo1Even those of Chinese descent will always feel like they belong to the Indonesian homeland. Even though the Chinese nation has a very strong culture and heritage.There are also many Chinese descendants who were forced to leave Indonesia in the past. But yes, that is the history of the Indonesian nation, what is important is that since the beginning of independence, the Indonesian constitution has always had the principle of equality regardless of race, religion or roots. Although it is not perfect and sometimes there is friction between races and religions until now. The land is magical and the people are too relaxed
@@amazingnewworld7973 Well yeah Indonesia was mold throughout numerous tragic events, and I'm sorry about what happened to the Chinese back in the days. But from what I see now in Indonesia, chinese descends has blends more to the society and the society embrace them and understand them more than before. In my understanding youtube really helps us to know each others habits and culture, something that cannot be achieved before...
Selamat datang kembali ke INDONESIA,saya merasa ikut terharu, sangat emosional.jangan khawatir dan merasa sendiri kami disini semua rakyat INDONESIA ada bersamamu chai beserta ibumu,sayangi dia setulus hatimu.hanya kamulah satu-satunya yang ia miliki ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇮🇩
This journey back to her roots is heartwarming-your care for your mom makes it even more meaningful! Wishing you both a wonderful time exploring Java and my home, Bali!
This is such a heart warming story of your mum and you in Java, and touching at the same time. I can see your mum’s face is lighted with happiness. May God make it easy for you guys to find your relatives in Indonesia. I wish you guys all the best.
i really enjoy your Indonesia video's . Would be good to watch you do another Indonesian series. The people there are just soo lovely. Salam dari Perth Western Australia temanku :)
Your face resembles an Indonesian soccer player of Dutch descent, like Jordy Amat and also similar to Sandy Walsh, of course you and your mother have Indonesian faces.❤
You totally wrong, they not have dutch blood, but yeah majority indonesian player is have dutch blood Jordi Amat is Spanish-North Sulawesi Sandy Walsh is Ireland, Belgium, and Surabaya
Excellent start to the search and will be an amazing experience for you both as it unfolds. It really is something very special doing this with your mum and I too can feel those emotions. It is real raw stuff and brilliant that you can share it with us. Very sad visiting that orphanage and your mum handled that very well. Looking forward to meeting up with the brother and hopefully grandma as it unfolds. Good luck with getting a DNA as that will likely be vital in verification one way or the other. Great work Chai. 🤩
Thanks, it’s definitely emotional for us both. It feels good to be sharing this journey and hopefully were able to find our family ❤️ stay champ Steven 🏆 always a pleasure
6:30 - 7:10 Betapa beruntungnya kita yg dibesarkan oleh keluarga dan orang tua kandung, diluar sana banyak sekali anak² yg 'terbuang' dari keluarga kandungnya, walaupun mungkin dengan berbagai sebab dan alasan,sehat²lah kalian orang2 baik yg peduli atas kehidupan anak2 tersebut. Dan semoga dari anak2 itu akan lahir generasi yg lebih baik dan lebih maju
@volcomsmg2241 sama bro,walau dalam materi dari kecil gw sering kekurangan tapi Alhamdulillah tercukupi kasih sayang ortu,dan sayangnya belum sempat bisa berbakti lebih lagi bokap udah meninggal duluan sekarang tinggal nyokap

Oh you got me tears in my eyes! Your mother seems so beautifully good 😍 Can see where you got it from ❤️ wonderful to watch, can't wait for more 😍🌹 Thank you 💕
So heartwarming to see such lovely friendly people. I visited and backpacked through different parts of Indonesia twice before. I am South African of Malay descent. Our forefathers were brought here by the Dutch as slaves and political prisoners for apposing the occupation some 350 plus years ago. I am retired and may visit Lombok soon if I don't go China in May 2025 as my recent travels were about exploring the Silk Road.
You're such a great guy & truly a good son. Not only you do volg as goir passion but also include in your volg gour help for your mum & you include to find your roots here in Indonesia. Like most Indonesian we love music & most Indonesian can sing well & so too your msma Lulu. She's got s great voice & her rendition of Bengawan Solo can make most babies fall asleep. So soothing. Take care Chai of yourself & your family. Wish you sll the very best.

Newly in Feb 2024 we have meet my grandpa sister the age almost 104 years old, but still remember and have a book about our family roots
Wow, I just watched the other video a few days ago, I hadn't looked at the date of the video and was thinking I'll have to wait a year to see your Mom come over.......so very happy to see you reunited :) Those photo's you took with the school children was an absolutely beautiful and happy thing to watch.
This is the kind of journey many Indische in Netherlands would willing to die for. Revisiting the hometown where they born and grow up before moving to Netherlands. Just like my Oom planned to do now, revisiting his born place Tjilacap, and then go to Purwokerto, Semarang, and finally revisit every bit of places he used to stay in Surabaya troughout his teenage years while showing his 'Belanda totok' wife the places he remembered include the harbours where his father used to work on Indonesian shipping maaschapjt untill they move to Netherlands in 1970's.

Now they are in their 90's just too old and too sickly to do long journey to Indonesia. I wish they are happy and healthy back in The Netherland.
