Indonesia is mostly safe for Australians, don't worry. There's a very popular Australian in Surabaya, He lived since childhood in Java and he appears to feel more comfortable living in Java. His name is Dave and has a channel called "Londo Kampung". Apparently, his Javanese language is even a bit more fluent than his English.
Yeah absolutely! Indonesia was great to me, never had any issues and all I had was respect from everyone. I got ripped off a couple of times, but that’s like anywhere 😌
Love this video. Out of the all the places ive travelled, Indonesians are one of the most warmest and kindest people i have ever met. Cant wait to go back. Keep up the the great vlogs 👍
Many media, whether from abroad or domestically, like to exaggerate the situation. In fact, Indonesia is one of the safest countries, as long as we can take care of ourselves and don't trust other people too much. Indeed, many Indonesian people are friendly and kind, but there are also many who pretend and cheat. At least not as much as in other countries... as long as we can find out the direction of their conversation, then we are safe.

13:01 they are soldiers, they are the best soldiers with a rank equivalent to captain in the Indonesian army, like an australian army, Captains are normally second-in-command of a sub-unit of up to 120 soldiers. They are key players in the planning and decision-making process within tactical level units, with responsibility for operations on the ground as well as equipment maintenance, logistical support and manpower.
Nope, the one on the left holding a rifle in his hands is prajurit kepala (Chief Private), while the one on the right without sun glasses have a rank of 2nd class Sergeant.

Mr. Marco - good morning to you, Dennis is going crazy right now -10:30 am Thur. leaving for Cebu in 4 days. Packing frenzy and weight checks for the last big bag and totes. Mom ( my wife ) is always trying to shove some last item in my bag, hand carry or in my light jacket. My lawn mowers are making their last cut, will blow out the sprinkler system and make one last leaf pick up in two weeks. Very nice little story today, - surprising that so many folks do not know a little English - whether folks want to accept it or not, English is the universal language of the world.
Good morning Dennis my friend! Ahh I bet you are excited, I am thinking about going to Cebu in a couple of months to vlog before I head to America. It is one of the places I missed out on but really wanted to see. Yep! I’ll always appreciate having English as my language, however, I wish I was more smart and could learn languages, but I do struggle with it to be honest

Indonesia is a safe country, as long as you can adapt your culture and follow local guidelines, because Indonesia has a different culture from westerners, especially European and American culture. For example, you cannot drink alcohol in public places, you cannot do anything related to sex in public places

Indonesia is the only country that became independent by expelling the invaders. There were 3 countries that once colonized Indonesia, namely the Netherlands, England, Japan.
Don't listen to those crazy politicians who want us to fight each other. They always don't learn, our ancestors had a good history with each other in the past. We welcome everyone in Indonesia with love 😊🙏

I tried googling as to when the Australian government put Jakarta on their Do Not Travel list, but there are varying periods as to when that happened. I mean, 1997 and a couple of years after that yes, as the whole of Indonesia was pretty sketchy right after Suharto was deposed. And 2002 during the Bali bombings I suppose. But in the 90s I knew of Aussies and Americans who were living comfortably there. And now of course Jakarta is actually safer than even some major cities in the United States.
@@marcoroams Ahh, almost completely forgot those spate of suicide bombings in the early to mid 2000s. That’s cause it is not in the nature of Indonesians to die by self inflicted explosions of shrapnel, so it almost escaped my mind of those events.
Indeed, fraud will not disappear in various countries, bro... so I suggest you have a local person you can trust to help you in your various activities.

I live in Jakarta myself but I rarely go to Monas (Central Monument) 😂 Jakarta is a city of traffic jam and I'm too lazy to drive my car or ride my bike to go there, using public transportation is also a no for me because of the heat 😂 So thank you so much for this video, I really enjoyed it!

if you have any brain cells left, just think carefully, why would a military willingly put their sensitive information into a Fair Show? Or better yet, what kind of backward intelligence agency send their spy OPENLY into a Fair Show and somehow expect some sensitive information from a PUBLIC space? This paranoia of spy is too childish and come from watching too much movies. If anything, most military leak came from military personel themselves or insider which OBVIOUSLY would not be an Aussie or Bule, that's how most espionage works. You can't just send a spy that's look WAY too different than the locals.
Indonesia is the country with the most friendly and generous. They are indifferent because they don't speak Indonesian, but in many situations they will ask you to take a photo to be close to them.😉

Mr. Marco - good morning to you, Dennis is going crazy right now -10:30 am Thur. leaving for Cebu in 4 days. Packing frenzy and weight checks
for the last big bag and totes. Mom ( my wife ) is always trying to shove some last item in my bag, hand carry or in my light jacket. My lawn mowers are
making their last cut, will blow out the sprinkler system and make one last leaf pick up in two weeks. Very nice little story today, - surprising that so many
folks do not know a little English - whether folks want to accept it or not, English is the universal language of the world.
Good morning Dennis my friend!
Ahh I bet you are excited, I am thinking about going to Cebu in a couple of months to vlog before I head to America.
It is one of the places I missed out on but really wanted to see.
Yep! I’ll always appreciate having English as my language, however, I wish I was more smart and could learn languages, but I do struggle with it to be honest
Even if Indonesia and Australia go to war, Indonesia will definitely have great difficulties because Australia has many strong allies who can help it
Indesia kmi
Km b gsa indo esia tdk akan pernah takut akan peperangan yang trjadi karna perang kmi smakan dgan pisabillah /jihad di jlan ALLAH, kmi bngsa /rakyat indonesia siap membela bangsa dan negara kami indo esia, siapapun di belakan negara australia, negara kami 34 propinsi sama dgan jumlah 34 negara , bangsa indonesia akan bersatu jadi janban coba2, mengaggu kedaulatan negara kami,trma ksih semoga anda mengetahuinya.
Indonesia is a safe country, as long as you can adapt your culture and follow local guidelines, because Indonesia has a different culture from westerners, especially European and American culture. For example, you cannot drink alcohol in public places, you cannot do anything related to sex in public places
Besides Bali…
Welcome to Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏🏻.
Happy enjoy.
Did you go to several other cities/destinations in Java/Indonesia? If yes, I'll be on the lookout for upcoming vlogs....(the Navy/Marines was in early October...so hopefully you did explore various other places in Java/Indonesia)🙂
Yup! I have many Indonesian vlogs coming up’ 5 more
That quick change of the subject from throwing the deep fried banana to the bin to a handshake got me !! 🤣

@@marcoroams"gapapa?" == "is it okay?"
most of the time its okay to sit there and just "look at the menu" while eating your food*, especially you bought your food at the food tenant that is next to the chairs. it will make their shops look "crowded" which implies that most Indonesians believe more customers will come. Most of the time they just want to know what they can do to help you.
*not applicable to bigger vendor but most likely they'll tell you before entering their resto/coffee shop
18:55 you guessed it right but you said 4 options, only 25% detective
Indonesia save for everyone, but don't make trouble 😊

Bro your travels inspire me! I will be in Australia sometime next year. Still planning it out in terms of best times to visit and where to go. 2025 trip. I will be flying into Sydney and would love if you could give me some good insight into nightlife but also daytime ventures. I would prefer to go off the beaten path and the less tourist side , drink in a local bar, hit up a music festival, stay with some Australian families a few nights if possible. I have many other interests but wanted your opinion. Thanks bro for any info
Thanks man 100%
If you need info on Australia message me on Instagram 🙏🏽
Good vlog, thanks, I am an australian university alumni

Indonesia is the only country that became independent by expelling the invaders. There were 3 countries that once colonized Indonesia, namely the Netherlands, England, Japan.
Portug, Netherlands, Britania n Japan Imperial

Those are ballistic sunglasses. Standard military approved Oakley probably. Bro, you got the better deal 😂
Haha I looked like a bloody idiot
Don't listen to those crazy politicians who want us to fight each other. They always don't learn, our ancestors had a good history with each other in the past. We welcome everyone in Indonesia with love 😊🙏
💯 Australia and Indonesia are good!
I just remember when I was a kid I was always told once you leave Bali it is extremely dangerous …. I had nothing but respect from everyone
@@marcoroams as indonesian i can't understand why australian politic is sometime in a bad term with indonesia, since a kid what i know about australia is how clean it is and sydney also has a lot of kangoroo, our news usually about malaysia claiming indonesian culture, palestine conflic , us politic etc. but never about australia
@@chocho6766 it is because of things like your strict laws, the Bali bombing, the Jakarta terrorists attacks and the Schapelle Corby case (which I know has nothing to do with 99.99% of the everyday Indonesia.
I love you all ❤️
aa The Ganja Queen!@@marcoroams
Welcome to INDONESIAN my friend..i hope you enjoy in INDONESIAN 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇩
Thank you my friend I loved it 😍
As if you got them to stick a logo on their military vehicle, they all looked so clean and new, somebody is gonna get 200 push ups which the boss finds out, luv how cheeky you are
😂😂😂I couldn’t believe it either
I love how the video ends at 19:45
Nice video ❤❤
i've talk a lot, why u just show me only when i put that stickers on *ROTFL🤣🤣 btw i've been waited this video for a long time, nice bro enjoy your next trip👍
Hahaha what that you?
Yeah buddy I filmed like 1 hour there and had to cut it all down
I tried googling as to when the Australian government put Jakarta on their Do Not Travel list, but there are varying periods as to when that happened. I mean, 1997 and a couple of years after that yes, as the whole of Indonesia was pretty sketchy right after Suharto was deposed. And 2002 during the Bali bombings I suppose. But in the 90s I knew of Aussies and Americans who were living comfortably there. And now of course Jakarta is actually safer than even some major cities in the United States.
Yeah super safe.
They put out warning where the Marriott hotel terrorist attack happened in 2003
@@marcoroams Ahh, almost completely forgot those spate of suicide bombings in the early to mid 2000s. That’s cause it is not in the nature of Indonesians to die by self inflicted explosions of shrapnel, so it almost escaped my mind of those events.
Indeed, fraud will not disappear in various countries, bro... so I suggest you have a local person you can trust to help you in your various activities.
That soldier in desert camo at 7:26 wears a US Navy SEALs insignia.
They are all gathered there for a military parade I've seen it a couple days ago it doesn't look like that everyday
13:30 hahaha I didn’t expect they allow that 😂
the military vehicles your seeing at the time are the vehicles that were going to be used to celebrate the 78th anniversary for the TNI-AD
I love your content my guy! Just curious as a fellow Australian what made you start doing this content and is it easy to do? I wouldn’t mind joining in on this type of stuff.
Mate I just got over how Australia became! A beer is $9, I’m sitting here having a $1 schooner I can do as I like, I can live well and help others out. It’s just the best life.
Yeah you have good and bad days like anything but it’s what I want to do 😎
I live in Jakarta myself but I rarely go to Monas (Central Monument) 😂 Jakarta is a city of traffic jam and I'm too lazy to drive my car or ride my bike to go there, using public transportation is also a no for me because of the heat 😂
So thank you so much for this video, I really enjoyed it!
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😁

Indonesian people and military are very friendly😅
Had to pause the video. You said you used to ride those boats for surf life saving?? Were you out doing rescue like Bondi beach? ❤

I felt lucky to test an HK G36 on mid 2000s Indonesian's National Armed Forces Day. Forgot what year was that but these guys were cool.
They are all such good and friendly guys
@@marcoroams sorry for some shyness. We're miles away from Anglo-linguistic-family.. but naturally we guys are chill, free spirited fellas. Have safe journeys, mate, and Jesus Bless!
0:11 that's kind of outdated. The last time Terrorism happen is in 2016. Now we more afraid of Pollution, traffic Jam and Rush our in the Metro system 😂
Lol I agree!
That's a common problem everywhere in the world even in Europe, Japan, or USA. Don't exaggerate
Mantap bang

gua masih heran dengan sebagian orang2 yang selalu minta foto dengan orang asing terutama bule
"apa maksudnya dan untuk apa, apa faedah nya foto sama bule, menurut gua itu norak dan memalukan"????
btw your vids are great! me my self is indonesian!
Special.
he is a foreign intelligence officer, the army should not be too friendly and should be suspected
Yep 🫡
if you have any brain cells left, just think carefully, why would a military willingly put their sensitive information into a Fair Show? Or better yet, what kind of backward intelligence agency send their spy OPENLY into a Fair Show and somehow expect some sensitive information from a PUBLIC space? This paranoia of spy is too childish and come from watching too much movies. If anything, most military leak came from military personel themselves or insider which OBVIOUSLY would not be an Aussie or Bule, that's how most espionage works. You can't just send a spy that's look WAY too different than the locals.
Welcome marco I love Indonesia from Russia🇷🇺💞🇮🇩
Indonesia is the country with the most friendly and generous. They are indifferent because they don't speak Indonesian, but in many situations they will ask you to take a photo to be close to them.😉
Some of the military people are wearing their Army Beret Wrong
They are all real... indonesia known as one of the strongest military in the world....top 15
I knew it!
