Not gonna lie, I think I've never seen any Indonesian documentation (on national television) of their own tribe this clear and transparent about the non-mainstream culture. Thank you and good job Sonny for taking over this documentation for the people of Indonesia and the world. I hope Indonesian tv is seeing your vid and spread it on news. Edit: so a lot of people misunderstanding something i said here. Firstly, the main point is not about the bugis tribe, but all the non-mainstream tribe on Indonesia. Secondly, it's not about sonny making tv show in Indonesia, but newscasting channel spreading sonny series so indonesian people can watch and know a few more thing about their own tribe.
Even we indonesian haven't got the chance to experience our very diverse culture like you did. I hope someday I can explore many parts of indonesia, and the cultures.
Facts. Bugis people are legendary warriors since millenia ago. They're known for their strength and bravery. Also they're experts of swimming, diving, ship building, and navigation. They were born to conquer the seas
We don’t deserve Sonny. His passion, and his kindness when doing this is unmatchable. I’ve been watching this Indonesian series made by him and his team and I can’t be more grateful that you share our Indonesian culture to the reat of the world. Thank you Sonny!
That showed Islam right there, tolerance, not forcing their beliefs with violence. They have their teaching, and they spread it, teach it to people. But whether people can 100% follow it or not. It's their own Personal and God relation. Not for Moslem or other people to judge. Nice food and culture documentary as always. Really the best ever food review show🔥🔥🔥
nah; not in europe. if he would have come across any food like that in europe he would have talked plenty of shhyyt. he can stay in asian, he's been officially kicked out of the race.
@@marshareemullings2461 That's what I'm concerned about. Sonny is the best food reviewer ever and he is trying to judge the people whom he dines with. Not a good strategy. I want to see sonny in the past who tries anything and reviews without any bias.
I once read about Bissu in the Bugis Tribe society. Sadly in recent years, Bissu is always get discrimination and because of that their existence is slowly disappear. I thought their tradition is extinct completely because my Bugis friends rarely talking about them, maybe because they live in the city and not exposed to the ancient tradition. This video proved me wrong, you meet a very special person Sonny. Very excited to see your next adventure
the exist nowadays, but their number is low. im from Bone there was one living in our traditional house as a keeper and practicing traditional bugis ceremonial. she passed away year a go and havent heard that her student has taken her role. they exist the 5 of them
@@victoriousmale1430 so great to hear that. Saya kira sudah punah, sejarah suku Bugis merupakan salah satu sejarah lokal favorit saya selain sejarah suku minang, dayak, dan jawa walaupun saya sendiri kurang mendalaminya, mungkin kalau sudah lulus kuliah saya akan mempelajarinya lebih lanjut. Makasih mas sudah sharing.
At minute 8:30......This is what makes Sonny deserving of an award. I will forever be his fan for his sacrifice in diving deep into unkown cultures. As an Indonesian, I had no idea these things are still around amazing lol
My grandma often talks about these people, even cooks their cuisines for Idul Adha which I know of through my aunt. I am happy I get to see this Bugis village here. Thank you, Sonny
I am from Johor Malaysia, had mix blood of Malay, Bugis and Chinese. I'm so happy looking at my roots culture and tradition. Hoping to experience the culture one day 🙏🏻
At around 10 minutes in, he's trying the fish surrounded by the local women. It's really great seeing their reactions. You can tell these are a lovely people full of humor and warmth.
Yes, it must be confusing for foreigners and fellow Muslims abroad. I am Indonesian, Sundanese, and Muslim. I am often confused about many things that are practiced even by my group. But I keep it to myself and vice versa. Instead of blowing up the differences, we emphasize what we have in common. Of course, I know about the Bugis people, but this is my first time hearing about the Bisu. Their food is mouth-watering for me. We have this dish with almost the same process as the eel soup, except we use catfish and slightly different spices. Yummy.
no it is not confusing for Muslims abroad. having 3rd gendered people is very very common in Pakistan. it is not unique to Indonesia only. we have gender X in Pakistan.
@@everythinggoes2969 yes I know it is confusing for a lot of people but they were generalizing in their comment. I was just saying that it is not as unique for Muslims as people think. Gender X societies exist in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia etc. And also Iran pays for your transition operations etc
Hello I'm from bugis tribe 🥰🙏 Fyi: bissu,calalai,calabai cant married Only female and male can I have a bissu, calalai, and calabai family. We respect them for religious matters, it depends on each one because we can't force them because in Islam forcing someone is not allowed, for that sin is borne by each of them even though we have given advice Before Islam came, Bugis people were not Hindus or Buddhists, but Bugis people used to be followers of the Aninism religion Bugis are the largest tribe in South Sulawesi The number of Bugis in Indonesia is more than 6 million Bugis can also be found in Malaysia, even though the original land of the Bugis remains in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. the name bugis comes from to ugi taken from the name of king lasitumpugi so we are followers of king lasitumpugi Bugis name: In english : Buginese In indonesia : Bugis In Bugis : To ugi / To ogi To : person Ogi /ugi : bugis
Ok, so this episode was sooooooooooo weird and I'm all for it!!! Not only did I get educated about different elements within a religion, different names for genders and how they associate themselves, but the food looks so YUMMY! 😋🤤 I absolutely LOVED this episode! 🖤🖤🖤 Edited to add that when I mentioned the episode was weird, I'm in NO way, shape, form or fashion, saying that the people, their religion, the way they label and see themselves, or the food are weird. I was just stating that it's weird because it's mostly things I've never seen or heard of before. 🖤
Our ancestor's pure belief and tradition was supposed to be animism just like the people that live in pacific islands While the traditions and ideas in indonesia right now are already mixed and imported from india (especially hinduism).. This is still just sulawesi.. You will be more shocked to see the traditions that against islam in java, sumatera. Especially javanese and sundanese people.. There many many of them who still being strong believer for the traditional beliefs even though they are moslems or christians
I’m recovering from surgery and I’ve been binging this show (both channels) for over a month now! I’m 5 days post-op and I only watched Sonny through the whole surgery experience. Pre-op, post-op and now home. I truly can’t explain how much of a part this show is to my daily life! It’s opened my eyes so much! I’ve wasted so much food but seeing what other cultures eat has made me be less picky if my greens aren’t perfect and I even ate some soft fat (not the hard part but I’ll get there) of a steak the other day! It was delicious! So THANK YOU BEFRS TEAM! You’re editors are superb and Sonny makes me laugh ALL THE TIME!!! Keep it up please don’t stop! As soon as we’re financially recovered from my surgery I’m going to become a patron!
Your story is so relatable.This show got me through my rough days of my surgery in February.now I'm hooked.i know how you feeling. Like my husband told me just look forward things will get better.😊. Thanks to this show it made me felt good like I'm traveling while at home.
Sonny says, quote "I came here to seek understanding about a culture very different from my own but the reality is sometimes culture is messy, it's layered and it's confusing, as I leave this place all I know for certain there is no other quite like it". I wish more people can understand what he means. That, “this difference makes this world more beautiful than ever.”
@@strongperson359 The actual name (was) To Ugi referring to our first King who unified Bugis ethnic, his name was La Sattump(UGI) and as a Bugis myself I'm not quite sure who gave us the name Bugis LoL, one of the source it's the British in Singapore/Malay peninsula at the time call us Boogie man because lot of our ancestors was pirates in Malay peninsula
Great job Sonny. This episode really went beyond the food. You've really done a great job lately of exploring the cultures beyond just the food. I understand your time is very limited and it is just a snapshot, but it is very pleasurable to watch and learn. Obviously, the food is the primary story and gateway to the interaction, but I really appreciate you going beyond that. Thank you for the enjoyment and learning.
i watched you 5 years ago when your channel was fairly new and was like 20k views in a month. hats off to you sir, you blew your channel to success. what a dedication.
One of the main reasons I like this channel is they cover a lot of info in a relatively short video. I’m not overly fond of 1 hour videos or even 30 minute ones. Just give me enough entertainment so that I can stay focused for 20 mins max and I’m happy
Thank you for sharing the culture of the Bugis tribe, as additional information, bissu in several other Bugis areas have disappeared, so it's quite difficult to find or find them now, and all the food you eat from breakfast to the goat's head cooked in curry is the food I ate since I was little, it makes me miss my hometown. I really enjoy every video you make, keep it up sonny and team 🤘 A peace 🤘
Well if you're a muslim, of course you shouldn't meet them. What they're doing is Shirk and will certainly enter you to hell-fire. And they are certainly doing black magic which is also haram and kufur.
Most of those indonesiand foods are also available in the Island of Mindanao (Philippines) islam of mindanao and Indonesia along with both ethnic tribes share a common influence. Love your show ever since you started here in Philippines.
Indonesian are filipino austronesian bloodline we sailed to there islands not the other way around that why we share austronesian language as a filipino i can understand Javanese language
@@jareedmareed6711 i can understand it by broken words but i cant even understand ilocano or visaya or rhe other filipino austronesian languages only tagalog Indonesian are austronesian people we sailed 3000 years ago there not the other way around when an Indonesian take DNA it shows. Filipino 50 percent and thai and cambodian might be from the cham people get a life
@@alochoa7057 I guess the javanese words you know are of the sanskrit. archeological proves show Java has been the centre power in the archipelago. Never heard of any from Mindanau.
woah.. i never knew that the traditional buginese acknowledge 5 gender in their culture... and i lived just 5 hours from the place for 23 years... never thought that a foreigner will be the one that told me about my own culture... THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE CONTENT SONNY
The term "boogeyman" is actually from the word "Bugis man". They were pirates who would raid Dutch vessels at night during colonial times. They'd wear all black, smear coal all over their face, and raid Dutch vessels at night. Dutch parents started telling their misbehaving kids "you better behave or the bugi man will get you". Then when the Dutch settled in New Amsterdam (New York now) it became "boogeyman".
Way more educational than I was expecting! Thanks for the info on an ancient culture I had no idea was so relevant to todays western society. Well done and tastefully handled. Cheers
What do you mean by relevant to today's Western society? Other than their concept of gender which has been ingrained as part of their culture. While the West only started to adopt this concept which wasn't part of their culture.
@@PokeTwilight The point is that transgender people have always exist and exist in every culture...Native Americans called them Two Spirit. The difference is only how much or how little each culture represses them and forces them to adhere to gender binaries. The west traditionally would literally kill people for being transgender. Now it's becoming more accepting and certain people have a huge problem with that (like you, probably). This tribe is a good example of what happens when you let people just be who are they. Nobody is forcing someone in this tribe to be a man who dresses like a woman if they don't want to, and vice versa.
Before the colonization of the world, many cultures recognized multi genders and the were deemed special. After religion took over is when we were forced to believe it was a bad thing. Thank you Sonny for showing this
@@mernkanthri3941 if being proper forest people makes the Indonesians better humans than that itself is OK rather than following anything that is detrimental to their beautiful way of life.
I love that your show is mostly about the people and their culture. Not just food. Keep it up Sonny! Such a unique thing yal are doing. Hope your diarrhea heals lol
sounds painful tho.. i only got ecoli once and i was broken for months.. he probably has been chuggin probiotics for years tho... that and rest only thing to help me. got like persistent inflammation thing, .. sure the continued expore wont help him, but if it ever normalized, i am sure his gut would be pretty strong!
Being a son of a Bugis Father and Javanese mom is the best thing ever for me, enjoying the multi-cultural food in any big event is something that i've always waiting for.
Sonny is a legend😂 bro! I bet he can’t wait to run out of the room to wash his face after spit rubbing healing on his face, but he managed to sit there with a “straight” face for the respect
It's not just u.. as a singaporean muslim i'm also confuse.. But my hat's to u for trying to understand and always respect different culture..👍👍👍 #aPeace
Absolutely your best side shown here. How you’ve grown since I first started watching you in your first videos all those years ago to now, you should hold yourself high in how respectful, intuitive, entertaining, not ignorant and passionate. Best video yet.
Sonny…..I have to know…..Did the Bisu cure you? Once again, thank you for taking us on this most amazing journey and sharing the traditions, religion, the local food(s), and the people, of this part of Indonesia that I didn’t even know existed. ❤
I wanted to ask too! But saw your comment before I went to comment myself. I wanted to comment: but did your diarrhea get cured?? 🤷♀️ So I decided to react to your comment. Though I might still comment myself. That way maybe he has more of a chance to see it. We people need to know! Lol
@@Melon_Cloud ……Right?!? Inquiring minds definitely NEED to know! I wish Sonny would’ve touched upon the reasoning for the saliva on the eyebrows a bit more. ☺️
Of course it didnt cure. This type of "magical healers" are common in south asia/south east asia. They " treat " all sorts of Diseases and but what cures is time, endurance, clean and careful living+eating for few days.
Sonny and the team, you are the goat! Thankyou for making these kind of videos thats not only focusing just on the food, but the culture and history too. Big big respect from me
I love watching Sonny's food show because it's educational, informative and inspiring this Man respectfully ask the people about their culture, religion and way of life before cooking and breaking bread wit them, keep up the beautiful World travels and keep bringing culture awareness n people together, Fly safe Bro',
The word Boogeyman already invented before the west meet us, but yes the British once called Bugis tribe as a Boogeyman because of our notorious reputation as a pirates in Malay peninsula's water
In Islam there are only two gender classifications, women and men, but in Bugis, I don't know if it really exists, because I'm also a Bugis, but I don't know this but maybe that's true because maybe the bugis there are still original bugis so there are differences. Ohhh one more thing MALUNRA means tasty.
Two thumbs up to Sonny and the crew... thank you for taking me to places that are new to my knowledge that they exist because most of the time I hear only about Bali or Jakarta. And this time about the 5 gender community... stay safe and I hope that you will be healed by that ritual...😊
Of course if you talk about cooking organs, Indonesia is the champion. We used a lot of spices, not cooking it blandly like in china or other countries.
Love watching your videos Sonny, not only because of the food journey you take us through but the exposure you give us to into the lives and culture of so many people
This was amazing how you introduced a culture with these unique gender experiences and traditions and that you in such a beautiful soft way stood for treating people inclusively and supportively in the proper humanistic approach. Well done sir. Asking about how he felt and perceived the use of that name toward him, and his preference otherwise, was poignant. You have a great show.
There are 1,340 regional ethnic groups in the country according to the 2010 BPS census. There are 718 regional languages. As expected by the founding fathers of the Indonesian nation. Unity in Diversity (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) (various ethnic groups, one Indonesian nation) with the motto of prioritizing Indonesian, mastering foreign languages, preserving regional languages. It can be said that Indonesian is a new language that is taught to all Indonesian people and has become the national language of instruction for regional tribes. Therefore, if there are foreign tourists to Indonesia, few people master English or other foreign languages. because each region mastered the local language and Indonesian. In contrast to China which has one language, namely Mandarin British and American which uses English, Germany which has German, Saudi Arabia which uses Arabic. therefore it is quite easy to master foreign languages of other countries. while we prioritize Indonesian and their respective regions sometimes learn other regional languages such as the Javanese tribe which has 3 regional languages, namely Ngoko, Krama, and Krama Inggil. each region of Java has quite no differences in language.
This episode was very refreshing. As a cisgender male who is often confused as a woman in my day to day life, I would like to extend my appreciation to your special guests at the end of the episode. It's not easy to be labeled and misidentified on a daily basis, and it takes a next-level determination to continue to pick yourself up and fight against not only the ignorance of others, but the festering self-loathing within. To be in a community where you are treated as a "normal" person is only a pipedream for some, but it seems that in this aspect, the Bugis tribe is far more advanced than our own modern societies. Perhaps one day, everyone - despite their outward appearance - can be treated with dignity and respect like you did for your dinner guests
Hello Sony and to the whole team!! I just want to congratulate you all !! What an excellent job everyone , I still remember all those videos you made before you even got a 500k subscribers, I am the one of those first subscriber of this chanel , and I am so happy that you all made it this far!! ❤️God bless and more success you all deserved it .
Sonny, I enjoy so much learning more about my own country from you. Our social science teachers never taught us about this tribe in Indonesia that acknowledges 5 genders...
Sonny, you are a kind, open-minded, and respectful individual. You are showing sides even Indonesians don't know about, I hope Indonesia can be as open-minded as you are in the future.
Man, this brings back fond memories of past adventures.....and indeed, the people are fascinating and one can't learn everything in a day...I spend weeks and still find the life fascinating....

Obviously, the food is the primary story and gateway to the interaction, but I really appreciate you going beyond that.
Thank you for the enjoyment and learning.
i watched you 5 years ago when your channel was fairly new and was like 20k views in a month. hats off to you sir, you blew your channel to success. what a dedication.
My man Sonny has endured the squirts for literal years now just as a by-product of giving us our entertainment. What a guy!
One of the main reasons I like this channel is they cover a lot of info in a relatively short video. I’m not overly fond of 1 hour videos or even 30 minute ones. Just give me enough entertainment so that I can stay focused for 20 mins max and I’m happy
My fav part is the saliva from the smokiest mouth onto Sonny's eyebrow for his diarrhea healing! 🤣😂
Thank you for sharing the culture of the Bugis tribe, as additional information, bissu in several other Bugis areas have disappeared, so it's quite difficult to find or find them now, and all the food you eat from breakfast to the goat's head cooked in curry is the food I ate since I was little, it makes me miss my hometown. I really enjoy every video you make, keep it up sonny and team 🤘 A peace 🤘
Well if you're a muslim, of course you shouldn't meet them. What they're doing is Shirk and will certainly enter you to hell-fire. And they are certainly doing black magic which is also haram and kufur.
Sonny is natural......always a pleasure watching him.
Most of those indonesiand foods are also available in the Island of Mindanao (Philippines) islam of mindanao and Indonesia along with both ethnic tribes share a common influence. Love your show ever since you started here in Philippines.
Are you muslim from Mindanao?
Indonesian are filipino austronesian bloodline we sailed to there islands not the other way around that why we share austronesian language as a filipino i can understand Javanese language
@@alochoa7057 you are exagerating. even the neighbouring tribe could not completely understand Javanese.
@@jareedmareed6711 i can understand it by broken words but i cant even understand ilocano or visaya or rhe other filipino austronesian languages only tagalog Indonesian are austronesian people we sailed 3000 years ago there not the other way around when an Indonesian take DNA it shows. Filipino 50 percent and thai and cambodian might be from the cham people get a life
@@alochoa7057 I guess the javanese words you know are of the sanskrit. archeological proves show Java has been the centre power in the archipelago. Never heard of any from Mindanau.
Sonny does it again! Thank you for showing us a culture most of us have never heard about.
woah.. i never knew that the traditional buginese acknowledge 5 gender in their culture... and i lived just 5 hours from the place for 23 years... never thought that a foreigner will be the one that told me about my own culture... THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE CONTENT SONNY
The term "boogeyman" is actually from the word "Bugis man". They were pirates who would raid Dutch vessels at night during colonial times. They'd wear all black, smear coal all over their face, and raid Dutch vessels at night. Dutch parents started telling their misbehaving kids "you better behave or the bugi man will get you". Then when the Dutch settled in New Amsterdam (New York now) it became "boogeyman".
Boogeyman or boogeywoman?!
Way more educational than I was expecting! Thanks for the info on an ancient culture I had no idea was so relevant to todays western society. Well done and tastefully handled. Cheers
Yep, it's almost like western culture is regressing to these weird, paganistic gender beliefs...
What do you mean by relevant to today's Western society? Other than their concept of gender which has been ingrained as part of their culture. While the West only started to adopt this concept which wasn't part of their culture.
@@PokeTwilight The point is that transgender people have always exist and exist in every culture...Native Americans called them Two Spirit. The difference is only how much or how little each culture represses them and forces them to adhere to gender binaries. The west traditionally would literally kill people for being transgender. Now it's becoming more accepting and certain people have a huge problem with that (like you, probably). This tribe is a good example of what happens when you let people just be who are they. Nobody is forcing someone in this tribe to be a man who dresses like a woman if they don't want to, and vice versa.
Thanks A Lot Sonny
For Exploring Our Buginese Culture and Food
Before the colonization of the world, many cultures recognized multi genders and the were deemed special. After religion took over is when we were forced to believe it was a bad thing. Thank you Sonny for showing this
A society mentored by trains, too funny
As Indonesian i never know this tradition but now i know and more like woah my country really really rich with tradition and tolerance so yeah 👍
No problem sometime we dont even know our urban village head
its start from sumatra island to java and now sulawesi.. i think next video some tribe in maluku island or borneo
Indonesia is really beautiful and tolerant. I really wish the people maintain this harmony and be happy and peaceful. Namaste from India.
Indonesians are not proper muslims. They are like forest people. Please follow islam like described in Quaran.
@@mernkanthri3941 if being proper forest people makes the Indonesians better humans than that itself is OK rather than following anything that is detrimental to their beautiful way of life.
I love that your show is mostly about the people and their culture. Not just food. Keep it up Sonny! Such a unique thing yal are doing. Hope your diarrhea heals lol
Sonny has a iron stomach as it is with this new blessing he will be UNSTOPPABLE!!
Brilliant episode. As a regular traveller to Indonesia, this was so educational. Thank you Sonny and team!
OMG!!!! LoL!!!!! The look on the lady's face as she watched Sonny talk about, flip over and eat the box fish is hilarious!!! LoL!!!!!
Sonny: "I've been shitting my guts out for the past several years."
Also Sonny: "I've been drinking booze like a fish for the last several years."
i did not expect to be read like this on a calm wednesday evening
sounds painful tho.. i only got ecoli once and i was broken for months..
he probably has been chuggin probiotics for years tho... that and rest only thing to help me. got like persistent inflammation thing, .. sure the continued expore wont help him, but if it ever normalized, i am sure his gut would be pretty strong!
Being a son of a Bugis Father and Javanese mom is the best thing ever for me, enjoying the multi-cultural food in any big event is something that i've always waiting for.
Sonny is a legend😂 bro! I bet he can’t wait to run out of the room to wash his face after spit rubbing healing on his face, but he managed to sit there with a “straight” face for the respect
terima kasih Kaka Sonny sudah berkunjung di negara Saya Indonesia.
Terima kasih telah berkunjung dikampung kami
Bugis Segeri 🙏🙏🙏
It's not just u.. as a singaporean muslim i'm also confuse.. But my hat's to u for trying to understand and always respect different culture..👍👍👍 #aPeace
Yes Bugis people have a big presence in Singapore since the old era.
@noah you mean boy in thumbnail
hey sonny did you just called the bishu a "He"?
cAnCelEd
Absolutely your best side shown here. How you’ve grown since I first started watching you in your first videos all those years ago to now, you should hold yourself high in how respectful, intuitive, entertaining, not ignorant and passionate. Best video yet.
My family originated from Bugis! Tho most of my families no longer able to speak Bugis but I know some people who do! -from Selangor Malaysia
Sonny…..I have to know…..Did the Bisu cure you? Once again, thank you for taking us on this most amazing journey and sharing the traditions, religion, the local food(s), and the people, of this part of Indonesia that I didn’t even know existed. ❤
I wanted to ask too! But saw your comment before I went to comment myself. I wanted to comment: but did your diarrhea get cured?? 🤷♀️
So I decided to react to your comment. Though I might still comment myself. That way maybe he has more of a chance to see it. We people need to know! Lol
@@Melon_Cloud ……Right?!? Inquiring minds definitely NEED to know! I wish Sonny would’ve touched upon the reasoning for the saliva on the eyebrows a bit more. ☺️
@@Melon_Cloud Sonny needs the Bisu to cure his fear of eating cucumber lol
Of course it didnt cure. This type of "magical healers" are common in south asia/south east asia. They " treat " all sorts of Diseases and but what cures is time, endurance, clean and careful living+eating for few days.
Sonny needs to take a daily probiotic to fix his diarrhea.
Sonny and the team, you are the goat! Thankyou for making these kind of videos thats not only focusing just on the food, but the culture and history too. Big big respect from me
You're doing much better than geography books. Terima kasih
Thanks Sonny bring this beautiful videos
I was living in bugis tribe and this video bring a beautiful memories
I love watching Sonny's food show because it's educational, informative and inspiring this Man respectfully ask the people about their culture, religion and way of life before cooking and breaking bread wit them, keep up the beautiful World travels and keep bringing culture awareness n people together, Fly safe Bro',
Best facial expression award goes to box fish lady
Legend says the boogeyman term is from bugis tribe, they are notorious sailor and pirate from the middle age.
The word Boogeyman already invented before the west meet us, but yes the British once called Bugis tribe as a Boogeyman because of our notorious reputation as a pirates in Malay peninsula's water
heyy guyss... Sonny can sit "jongkok"... , another great video, thanks bro 😎
In Islam there are only two gender classifications, women and men, but in Bugis, I don't know if it really exists, because I'm also a Bugis, but I don't know this but maybe that's true because maybe the bugis there are still original bugis so there are differences. Ohhh one more thing MALUNRA means tasty.
Two thumbs up to Sonny and the crew... thank you for taking me to places that are new to my knowledge that they exist because most of the time I hear only about Bali or Jakarta. And this time about the 5 gender community... stay safe and I hope that you will be healed by that ritual...😊
I've read about different cultures recognizing different genders but hadn't seen such an awesome and personal video like this!!
Of course if you talk about cooking organs, Indonesia is the champion. We used a lot of spices, not cooking it blandly like in china or other countries.
12:49 I don't think that's a lady Sonny... 😂😂😂
Love watching your videos Sonny, not only because of the food journey you take us through but the exposure you give us to into the lives and culture of so many people
Good job Sonny, thank you for introducing bugis people to the world 😊
This was amazing how you introduced a culture with these unique gender experiences and traditions and that you in such a beautiful soft way stood for treating people inclusively and supportively in the proper humanistic approach. Well done sir. Asking about how he felt and perceived the use of that name toward him, and his preference otherwise, was poignant. You have a great show.
He was making fun of them so relax
@@vinnygill3666cry more
"what we're going to eat today?"
"eel"
"Ah, an appetizer before the feast?"
"No" *takes out a comically large eel*
9:34 love the face of lady looking at Suuny like a dinosaur.
You're not the only one confusing. Add me into it 😅. Seeing this episode, it taught me one of our culture that has not been published anywhere.
It's actually published, there's a book about that actually
There are 1,340 regional ethnic groups in the country according to the 2010 BPS census. There are 718 regional languages. As expected by the founding fathers of the Indonesian nation. Unity in Diversity (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) (various ethnic groups, one Indonesian nation) with the motto of prioritizing Indonesian, mastering foreign languages, preserving regional languages.
It can be said that Indonesian is a new language that is taught to all Indonesian people and has become the national language of instruction for regional tribes.
Therefore, if there are foreign tourists to Indonesia, few people master English or other foreign languages. because each region mastered the local language and Indonesian. In contrast to China which has one language, namely Mandarin British and American which uses English, Germany which has German, Saudi Arabia which uses Arabic. therefore it is quite easy to master foreign languages of other countries. while we prioritize Indonesian and their respective regions sometimes learn other regional languages such as the Javanese tribe which has 3 regional languages, namely Ngoko, Krama, and Krama Inggil. each region of Java has quite no differences in language.
The Bisu & Bugis ways are so genuine and peaceful. It’s beautiful how they are very accepting of their own people no Mayer how they are born.
This episode was very refreshing. As a cisgender male who is often confused as a woman in my day to day life, I would like to extend my appreciation to your special guests at the end of the episode. It's not easy to be labeled and misidentified on a daily basis, and it takes a next-level determination to continue to pick yourself up and fight against not only the ignorance of others, but the festering self-loathing within. To be in a community where you are treated as a "normal" person is only a pipedream for some, but it seems that in this aspect, the Bugis tribe is far more advanced than our own modern societies. Perhaps one day, everyone - despite their outward appearance - can be treated with dignity and respect like you did for your dinner guests
dude gonna need to heal himself real soon if he's smoking 3 packs a day 🤣
Well he's not dying yet so i guess that counts ?
Once more, this leaves us wanting to learn more about the culture. Great job Sonny & team!
I just watched Chainsaw man, that lamb head coming up from the soup... Lol.
“Just spit on your thumb and rub it on my eyebrows.” 🤣🤣
The most diverse country🇮🇩❤
Hello Sony and to the whole team!! I just want to congratulate you all !! What an excellent job everyone , I still remember all those videos you made before you even got a 500k subscribers, I am the one of those first subscriber of this chanel , and I am so happy that you all made it this far!! ❤️God bless and more success you all deserved it .
"let me heal you while i rip a cig" haha these guys are badass i love it
"How heavy metal is that??" is really hit me
Now you see how friendly most Muslims are? Don't believe everything you see about Muslims painted in a bad image. Islam is peace and love
But they are pulling down the name of Jesus. The one that hates name Jesus
Thank you for visiting our country 🇮🇩😍
Thank you Mr Sonny for visiting Maddo Village. let's go barru 💪💪
Sonny, I enjoy so much learning more about my own country from you. Our social science teachers never taught us about this tribe in Indonesia that acknowledges 5 genders...
That seasoning is 🔥… Food looks spectacular and yummy 🤤
Sonny, you are a kind, open-minded, and respectful individual. You are showing sides even Indonesians don't know about, I hope Indonesia can be as open-minded as you are in the future.
Thank you for sharing your travels and stories. Interesting slices of life, Sir. I am gravitating towards your Asian stories.
Dari semua kue di indonesia saya paling suka kue kue bugis😍
The team that put together this video is hilarious. I love the sound effects, editing...so funny!
I always love seeing all the comments from people of the country he's in. Feels like we're not so far away
I will simply say, you guys on BEFRS are the real GOAT.
Thank you sonny for your five year sacrifice not all heroes wear capes ...
Sonny, you are leaps and bounds ahead of other travel channels. I've learned so much from your travels. Thank you so much.
Man, this brings back fond memories of past adventures.....and indeed, the people are fascinating and one can't learn everything in a day...I spend weeks and still find the life fascinating....
The boogeyman that name come from them infamous ruthless pirates
