i actually have so much respect for the tour guide at the Batak museum - he doesn't come across as an expert or an authority figure on those objects, but he's so clearly got such a passion and a deep interest in learning and teaching about the culture and history of the tribe and i think that's wonderful. As a Scot myself, the preservation of such things is such an important thing to cultural my identity... i remember being so excited in primary school when I learned to count to ten in Gaelic. So when the guide explained the Batak alphabet is being taught in their schools, it warmed my heart a little :) he really came across as a cool guy who's eager to teach about what's on their display edit: the lady you bought the bracelet from was so fun! what an attractive soul!!!
@@lifespeedsup1101 yes, of course bali is beautiful, He means that most tourist only know bali, but actually there's a lot of beautiful places in Indonesia besides bali,
The womans laugh near the end who has the shop, her laugh and energy is second to none. Just such a contagiously happy person. Couldn't stop smiling watching her laugh and just love life 💙
40 minutes and 40 seconds ago, I knew nothing about the Batak People. Fascinating history and culture, friendly welcoming people too. The guy in the museum was so knowledgeable and the wifie in the shop made me laugh, 15,000 Euro, think she fancied yur man haha! Longest video ever, without a mention of Coke Zero haha! Nice one Dale, thanks mate.
Love this series, you made me miss Samosir, I was born in there but the Last time I visit Samosir was 15 years ago. shout out to the museum guide, for only IDR 5000 he explained everything and answer all of your borderline ridiculous questions, considering IDR 5000 can't even buy 1 Coke. - S.

In indonesia.. first they will be asking you.. “are married..? are you single.? why are you alone..?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 else.. “why are you alone.? why you are not married.? what ever your answer they will be curious about your private.. privacy fr you but not for them.. *based on my story too but they just think too simple.. it’s just good to be possitive.. and it’s totally you.. Thanks for visit my country.. my great grand mother’s land Dale.. love you from Surabaya.. Gbu 🙏
Yeah, she is a sweet and kind woman, i was there back in December 2020, i was looking some souvenirs, enter some shops which sell souvenir a little bit pricey, then i found her, offering souvenir with a discount price, have a chit chat and ask her family name since i am also a Batak.
I'm as a local people in there is so proud of you. Beside you are so friendly, you also appreciate others culture. Can't wait you for coming again to this wonderful place
Man, i like how you state your opinion. You just being honest instead of being nice to pleasure others. You are right that the area around Danau Toba should have more tourist. Therefore, we have a lot to do to make Toba became more tourist friendly, especially our mindset and infrastructures.
Iy cuk kalau 5rb mah kurang , 20rb nih bagusnya soalnya udh pakai b Inggris yg d mengerti sama bang Dale Philip , trs d jelasin dengan rinci , museum nya juga lumayan gede , tapi murah kali ya untuk 5rb
It makes me laugh when you speak to the people, you put on a voice changing how you say the words. My brother does that aswell. You’re soo lucky to travel.
I have watched every single of your videos in Medan. It brings back the memories I have when I was there. Now I live in Leicester, UK and it is really happy to see you explored the city, it feels like I am coming back home :) I have never even visited some places you went to. I appreciate it mate, hope you had a great time in Medan mate.
If's funny how I am (Indonesian) enjoying your Scottish accent while I am in lockdown in Edinburgh, missing all conversations with locals due to this pandemic. Stay safe, Dale.
Hi Dale, Can't believe I just discovered your channel and couldn't stop watching all your videos. My family is from Sumatra (Bukittinggi & Padang if you ever have the chance to explore) but I spent most of my life in the US. This video is definitely making me put Samosir on my travel bucket list. Awesome job showing the culture & 'off the beaten path' destinations, keep up the videos and stay safe!
The guy showing you around the museum seemed very pleased to see you as a customer. 😊👍 Very interesting history. I'm certain these past and current tribes around the world know more about the human brain & mind, than the modern day technology world.
I'm a bataknese and I find your name coincidentally pretty funny in Batak because "*Dale*" (pronounciated like Duh-lay) is the term used for Bataknese descendants who are unfamiliar with Batak tradition (mostly those who are raised in cities), while here you are a non-native Bataknese actually learning our culture! Props to you man from Indonesia! 🇮🇩
fyi you don't need to add nese in batak because is batak already describe an ethnic group, its a common misconception for people to say bataknese. javanese, balinese etc were added nese because java and bali is a place first, the people who inhabit the place are called place+nese. we're more like minang and dayak, theyre not minangnese or dayaknese, just minang and dayak.
The museum guide make me remember about my father, because when my father try to explain about my family's culture (minang), it's look like that guy when he try to explain about batak culture. They're so wonderful I think, because all of them knowledge about they culture.
Hi dale, i just found your channel, how lovely to see you had some fun in north sumatera. i live in medan, and been to samosir quite often, but watching you just scrolling down the island make me feel like having some new experience. there's not so many tourist want to have such a real experience like you've done. what a honest and lovely vlog, and dale you are such a good type of man. thanks for coming, hope you come and visit indonesia especially north sumatera once again. im hoping for this channel to get more attention. Horas✊🏻
27:00. This moving statue is a legendary statue from batak just like what the museum man said about the moving statue that in the past they use someone's spirit to move the statue. This statue has a story, actually in the past there was a king and his beloved son, the king truly love his son but sadly his son die in the war and after know that his son die he lives in depression and someone from the kingdom called 'datu' said that what if we made a statue and put your son's soul in to the statue so the king will not be sad again. They used to play the music in the past every night and the son's soul will get in the statue. What you see over there is the original one. Believe it or not batak people is full of mystic, even in the past they were cannibal. Sorry for my bad English hopefully foreigners from outside who has no idea what the hell is that understand the legendary story behind that statue.
Good items and information in the museum, the guide knew his stuff. Coke Zero must have stopped production 😂 There’s a chance for Irn Bru yet. Stay safe.
Thanks @Dale Philip . Samosir looks amazing! Breathtaking! The highlight of the video was your convo with the lady vendor; she was indulgent, knowledgeable and funny. It's admirable how Indonesians preserve their culture by making it an integral part of their education. It's interesting to know Scotland is doing the same. Perhaps someday you can educate us about your Gaelic customs and traditions as well?
There is no Tiger in Samosir island but on Sumatra forest far from lake Toba ,so that place really save for tourism ,ang the government of Indonesia soon make the like Toba same like Bali island,its gonna be wonderful place 👌;)
Lake toba is very very beautifuuul,,,,,and worth visiting tourists.WowWw...the price is very affordable, And The People are friendly And Kind ,Lets travel To lake Toba. God Bless-

I binged watching your vlog about Indonesia and I immediately subscribe you because you visit anti mainstream destination and one of dangerous place in Indonesia, Medan. You're legend, you deserves more subs. Indonesia isn't only about Java Island, there are so many things outside Java that need to explore and show the world. It's worth for visiting and never regrets, I always wanted to go to outside Java! Fascinating!
Classic footage and excellent riding and commentating ,I went to lake toba in late 70s. amazing I'd love to learn more. Never loose the culture.if you could film less evasive, that would be cool Batak is gold
Hello dale, thank you for coming to Indonesian and than in the Samosir island and i want to say thank you so very very much for promotional Batak culture to in the world.... 💝 God bless you dale
I went here, stayed on tuktuk. Wish i had got a scooter and explored like this! Amazing video, now i want to go back so much!! Anyone fancy a Sumatran roadtrip 2021!?
hello dale. I'm from Batak land. thank you for your visit to our country, have a nice day. God bless you. if you have time come to our area in Tarutung for a tour, the city of Spiritual tourism.
Thank you for coming to Lake Toba and making a video documentation about Lake Toba to introduce Lake Toba to the world. I hope with this video tourists around the world can come to Lake Toba. for those who watch this video come to Lake Toba, your eyes will be spoiled by the view of Lake Toba which is very beautiful.
I love your videos about Medan, last time i was there was 2014. I miss Medan because my father's family is Bataknese, now i live in Sidoarjo, East Java. I hope you explore more of Indonesian culture. I hope you understand what i write, sorry my english is bad, Cheers Dale!
It's a little bit fun when that lady speak english but the college student don't😂 in Indonesia, we have learned english since elementary school. Even some schools put english subject when still kindergarten
Just to clarify.... at 37:13 The seller said Horas meaning as Welcome. But it was not completely true. Horas is Batak Greeting, means, May God Blessing Us with His Grace, if you shake hand with others and you said, Horas, and they must be reply also with Horas, If you will say goodbye to anyone and you wave your hand and say, Horas. It means, May you always get luck, may you get healthy, May you get wealthy. And see you again in positive situations. It is the same meaning of 'Shalom' greeting in Jews traditions.
Wow this is crazy, my dad is batak with the last name Samosir and my mum is from manado. I lived in Indonesia for the first 7 years of my life but have been abroad ever since. Only now have I been introduced to deep batak culture through your visit to the traditional home. My last name is Pakpahan btw 😂 (gaket mas itu bilang surname gua) Keep going with your Adventures Dale!
Sou apaixonada pela Indonesia .vi esse video por acaso pela tv e levei um susto porque a casa .que voce mostrou eu ja estive num sonho .me lembro dos objetos .das pequenas lojinhas .tudo muito estranho.me lembrei na hora .e o povo animado .conheco .por sonhos
The fruit is called markisa. It's sweet and lil bit sour. Batak' s traditional house is similar with my tribe Toraja house. But Batak is in North Sumatra and Toraja tribe is in South Sulawesi. Their cultures looks similar too. Dale, you should paid him more than 5K because he gave you so many information and so patient to explain everything hehe..
Nice video. I've ever come to this museum but I haven't make any entrance there. What I like from this video is, I can learn what my ancestors did in the past, in the other (foreigner) perspective.
Hi Dale, I'm one of your subscriber. I'm Indonesian from South Sumatera, But now I'm living in Italy. very nice to watched your trip to North sumatera. I watched all of them. When u come back again to Indonesia u can have trip to west sumatera also very nice. They have some nice island, nice beaches, and great food that very famous in Indonesia they called RENDANG Think u must try it😊. Other suggestion, u can have trip to south sumatera(where I was growing up there) In south Sumatra they have a lot of waterfall even they said one of city(Lahat) they called thousand waterfall and u can see quite a lot magalite on some villages And ofcoure very good food also. Other suggestion u can have trip to Java Island, lombok, sulawesi Island,and there are still many nice places in Indonesia u must visit it😁😁😁 Anyway, as Indonesian I'm very happy to know that tourist like u very interesting with Indonesia. Thank u very much for visited our country.
and that student come from Java which it should be more educated, yeah I feel embarrassed since I'm from Java as well, hopefully, they realized if English is very important
Its so fucking embarassing lmao, if yourw in college and cant speak english, you should probably consider to drop out because you just wasting time and oxygen lmaooo
english isn't that important. look japanese, korea, chinese. they can't speak english but have many tourist.no need to be embrassed. do not feel inferior to other language
@@barry.b.bensonjr english isn't that important. look japanese, korea, chinese. they can't speak english but have many tourist. no need to be embrassed. do not feel inferior to other language
@@10klikeanonimbalikwxc14 I think English is important, as it becomes the international language on this planet (we can't deny the fact tho), making communication way easier. Imagine if we can't understand what others say would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? When we travel abroad and we cannot have even a single basic conversation with others, isn't that frustrating for you? (yes you may have a translator or kind of that, but it will be freer if we are the ones who talk directly to them, it is also wasting time tho). As an additional point, our vision could be enhanced massively since there are tons of English literature and articles. However, it would be great if we can also bring our language to the international level (like anime in Japanese, Korean in Korean entertainment, etc.), so I think both local and international language does important. And about your tourist point. Language is not the only indicator for tourists to decide to go there, there are lots others (safeness, immigration things like visa, infrastructure, access, quality of tourism sector in the area, etc.). But I agree with your point that we should not feel inferior to use, or even just understand them, since the point of language is to communicate, not as a pride or else
Thanks dale for coming to my country, i hope you come back again and you take a lot of your friends, and come to bandung i will show you best places in here
Inilah yg membuat pengalaman adalah guru yg terbaik, penjual wanita yg faseh bahasa Inggris karna udah biasa melayani bule menggunakan bahasa Inggris, kalau mahasiswa dilingkungan mereka tidak menggunakan bahasa Inggris
Dale, that fruit is probably "Markisa". They also make bottled juice from it (can be bought in many supermarkets). Local tourists consider it as "beverage souvenirs" from Medan. . Those students are member of environmental and adventure activity club. And that scarf is their "club identity". . In Indonesia (specially in urban area) using helmet is mandatory when you ride motorcycle. You can get ticket if police see you riding without helmet. . Anyway you can use Google Translate (and also its Text to Speech feature) to speak with Indonesians, it's quite good. . Awesome video as always Dale. Enjoy the journey. Keep up the good work.
Hi I'm from Indonesia, i see your Channel RUclips about Indonesia (north Sumatera) and so fun with your travelling in here. Maybe you can visit north Sumatera again specially in Tarutung city. Tarutung city is a small city but it's the beautiful city and have many tourism place. Thank you! Sorry my English is bad :( Have fun traveling...
dale thanks for uploading we love ur content so much, happy to see this video is longer than the last. i saw u posted on ur instagram story about that person complaining about ur videos being too long but we love when they are long. more to watch!! we speculate where do u live or are you always travelling?
I've just seen far more of the island and learnt far more about the Batak culture than during the week or so i stayed there in 2002 and never ventured beyond my accomadation by the water,exceot for the nearby bars and restaurants. What an idiot way to spend a week in such a place

Just to clarify....
at 37:13 The seller said Horas meaning as Welcome.
But it was not completely true.
Horas is Batak Greeting, means, May God Blessing Us with His Grace, if you shake hand with others and you said, Horas, and they must be reply also with Horas,
If you will say goodbye to anyone and you wave your hand and say, Horas.
It means,
May you always get luck, may you get healthy, May you get wealthy. And see you again in positive situations.
It is the same meaning of 'Shalom' greeting in Jews traditions.
Thank u, horas 🙏
Don't forget to come to Indonesia again
Wow this is crazy, my dad is batak with the last name Samosir and my mum is from manado. I lived in Indonesia for the first 7 years of my life but have been abroad ever since. Only now have I been introduced to deep batak culture through your visit to the traditional home. My last name is Pakpahan btw 😂 (gaket mas itu bilang surname gua)
Keep going with your Adventures Dale!
I don't know how I stumbled upon your video, but I really enjoyed it!! Thanks for sharing your cool travels!
Thanks very much. Many more videos like this one coming soon. :)
Just found your channel yesterday and yet im addicted now watching your 1 hour vids! Keep humble mate youre so cool💪🏼 much love from medan mate here😆
Sou apaixonada pela Indonesia .vi esse video por acaso pela tv e levei um susto porque a casa .que voce mostrou eu ja estive num sonho .me lembro dos objetos .das pequenas lojinhas .tudo muito estranho.me lembrei na hora .e o povo animado .conheco .por sonhos
Thanks for remind me back of a good memories there! 🙌🏻
The fruit is called markisa. It's sweet and lil bit sour. Batak' s traditional house is similar with my tribe Toraja house. But Batak is in North Sumatra and Toraja tribe is in South Sulawesi. Their cultures looks similar too. Dale, you should paid him more than 5K because he gave you so many information and so patient to explain everything hehe..
YESS I'M FROM MEDAN, AND I HAVE THOUSAND TIME GO TO SAMOSIR
indonesians are very friendly ppl especially in the rural areas.
Nice video. I've ever come to this museum but I haven't make any entrance there. What I like from this video is, I can learn what my ancestors did in the past, in the other (foreigner) perspective.
You should visit the museum one day!
@@Dale_Philip Have you ever visited Pangururan, a small town located at another side of Samosir island?
The Tombstone Museum can be fun if you know Ventriloquism, you really freak people out .
LOL
Dale knows how to spend his money....you are funny and the happy man Dale... I laughed a lot watching your video
Yes dale good vid and the longer the better for me keep em coming
Hi Dale, I'm one of your subscriber. I'm Indonesian from South Sumatera, But now I'm living in Italy. very nice to watched your trip to North sumatera. I watched all of them.
When u come back again to Indonesia u can have trip to west sumatera also very nice. They have some nice island, nice beaches, and great food that very famous in Indonesia they called RENDANG Think u must try it😊.
Other suggestion, u can have trip to south sumatera(where I was growing up there)
In south Sumatra they have a lot of waterfall even they said one of city(Lahat) they called thousand waterfall and u can see quite a lot magalite on some villages And ofcoure very good food also.
Other suggestion u can have trip to Java Island, lombok, sulawesi Island,and there are still many nice places in Indonesia u must visit it😁😁😁
Anyway, as Indonesian I'm very happy to know that tourist like u very interesting with Indonesia.
Thank u very much for visited our country.
Loving the vids Dale, glad I found your channel mate!
It was a nice conversation with shopkeeper lady and the guide. ❤❤❤
as usual, liked and commented before watch
The tour guide of the museum might consider to create youtube channel to impart the knowledge with more deep dive of Batak Culture!
The vendor lady is more fluent in english than the orange college students. Im having the secondhand embarassment as an Indonesian
and that student come from Java which it should be more educated, yeah I feel embarrassed since I'm from Java as well, hopefully, they realized if English is very important
Its so fucking embarassing lmao, if yourw in college and cant speak english, you should probably consider to drop out because you just wasting time and oxygen lmaooo
english isn't that important. look japanese, korea, chinese. they can't speak english but have many tourist.no need to be embrassed. do not feel inferior to other language
@@barry.b.bensonjr english isn't that important. look japanese, korea, chinese. they can't speak english but have many tourist. no need to be embrassed. do not feel inferior to other language
@@10klikeanonimbalikwxc14 I think English is important, as it becomes the international language on this planet (we can't deny the fact tho), making communication way easier. Imagine if we can't understand what others say would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? When we travel abroad and we cannot have even a single basic conversation with others, isn't that frustrating for you? (yes you may have a translator or kind of that, but it will be freer if we are the ones who talk directly to them, it is also wasting time tho). As an additional point, our vision could be enhanced massively since there are tons of English literature and articles. However, it would be great if we can also bring our language to the international level (like anime in Japanese, Korean in Korean entertainment, etc.), so I think both local and international language does important. And about your tourist point. Language is not the only indicator for tourists to decide to go there, there are lots others (safeness, immigration things like visa, infrastructure, access, quality of tourism sector in the area, etc.). But I agree with your point that we should not feel inferior to use, or even just understand them, since the point of language is to communicate, not as a pride or else
Thanks dale for coming to my country, i hope you come back again and you take a lot of your friends, and come to bandung i will show you best places in here
Thanks for coming into my home . Bataks love You
Your videos are so addictive.Sunday,perfect day to enjoy tourism vlogs😍

if you travel by motorcycle don't forget to remove the lock of the motorcycle.
prone to theft
Inilah yg membuat pengalaman adalah guru yg terbaik, penjual wanita yg faseh bahasa Inggris karna udah biasa melayani bule menggunakan bahasa Inggris, kalau mahasiswa dilingkungan mereka tidak menggunakan bahasa Inggris
Dale, that fruit is probably "Markisa". They also make bottled juice from it (can be bought in many supermarkets). Local tourists consider it as "beverage souvenirs" from Medan.
.
Those students are member of environmental and adventure activity club. And that scarf is their "club identity".
.
In Indonesia (specially in urban area) using helmet is mandatory when you ride motorcycle. You can get ticket if police see you riding without helmet.
.
Anyway you can use Google Translate (and also its Text to Speech feature) to speak with Indonesians, it's quite good.
.
Awesome video as always Dale. Enjoy the journey. Keep up the good work.
Thanks my friend 😊👍
