    Sumatran Coffee is the most well known coffee from Indonesia in the western world, however it's not the "Best" we have, it's the quirkiest.
    due to the natural processing it often described to be heavy, woody, and earthy. and the coffee you get from the traditional sellers would't be the best example to enjoy it just because "it would not be palatable for westerners". and it's not just sumatra, across Indonesia traditionally we don't enjoy coffee with all the modern coffee fuss. we roasted the beans almost to a charcoal, and we adds sugar (in jogja, people literally add wood charcoal lol).
    anyway, if you wanna experience all the subtlety of Indonesian coffess, try modern or upscale coffee places. and try beans below
    - washed/semi washed(just for fun) Aceh gayo
    - washed Bali Kintamani
    - washed Kerinci
    - washed Ijen
    - washed Wamena
    to the extreme: Natural/honey/black honey Aceh Gayo

    U dont agree because its not ur beliefs. But its good to learn 😊
    Muslims are generally very hospitable people and generous.
    As another note Ramadan is not about food. Its been greatly emphasized even in Australia with the lakemba ramadan markets and in liverpool. But the idea of ramadan is to connect back to God and reset, re learn ur religion and to have a good connection to it 😊 i hope that helps. Fasting helps u too focus on what God has asked of you. And not be distracted by worldlt things. I hope thats helpful.

      Agree. and the Sharia Law applies on Muslim only, while for non Muslim just need to adjust with it just like what she did.
      about going out aftr 11 PM at night, it's OK for girls too as long as she goes with her father or husband or brother or cusson. it's for their safety, beside no girl goes out alone after 11 there because their parents especially mom will not allowed her. for bule i think it doesn't apply either, of course bule girl can go anywhere she wants as long as still in the rules, not doing bad things according to Sharia law. actually the rules made for women's good, safety, and dignity.

    Such great idea to visit the city of syariah ACEH ...
    Actually no big different with others city in indonesia...only straight law and regulation base on islam syariah law ...
    Very simple way is just follow the rules or law ..
    Nothing is huge or scarry thing,just being to understand what is it..
    Simple simple law like any moslem country ... No bikini open dressed no rude manners like other culture no drunk or any alcohol ...the rest is normal life ..nothing to be worried or and scare of ..
    But aware the manner and dress or any attitude ...
    Like when you visit malaysia or singapore ..same with straight rule and regulation ...as long as we do care and obey ...nothing to be worries ...
    Event you made mistaken and in unpurposes...they still has undesttanding tolerance for mistaken because you are just visitor ot just normal tourist who has own background and religion ...we still do have understanding or tolerance as long as not happening (again) for the second time ...
    We always welcome
    We still has lovely smile ..warm and love to connected ..like typical indonesian people.
    So nothing to be worries or scarred ...
    To be honest .. i love this city ..there is some benefit when we implement some straight law...

    welcome to Indonesia sister.
    In Islamic teachings there is a term "prevention is better than cure".
    The evil sources of destruction in society are alcohol, gambling, fornication, interest,
    and all of this is prohibited [Haram] in Islamic teachings, the policy behind this prohibition is to maintain peace and tranquility in society.
    And as far as I know, this punishment applies only to Muslims, not to non-Muslims who live there [unless they do it in public], because if you do it in your own private place it's not a problem.
    Like if someone is homosexual, as long as they don't act in public and don't campaign [show] their ideology, it doesn't matter [so it's their own privacy].
    So enjoy your trip!!!

      You know what's not haram in islamic teachings tho ? Marrying children - having sex slaves - beating ur wife if she doesn't listen to u - drinking camel piss - drinking liquids full of flies - not washing ur hands before eating. So much for harm prevention. Truth is Sharia law is a 7th century law for people from the 7th century and it has no right to be applied on ppl of the 21st century. We have way more knowledge now than ppl of 7th century and we should make our own laws based on maximizing happiness of freedom. Sharia law only works on people who believe their lives are meaningless and the real life is after they die. That's why they give up all their joy because they've been indoctrinated to believe it's not worth living.

    Hey, just wanted to say that I appreciate your honesty. Sometimes people tend to shy away from expressing their opinions but glad that you’re not one of them. I’m glad that you’ve told the locals that you don’t believe in anything, it’s a lesson for them that not everyone who’s not Muslim is automatically a Christian 😁 I’m also happy to hear things that you don’t agree with.
    In general, provinces in Indonesia have less autonomy than states in Australia, but the province of Aceh is an exception as it’s considered a special region so they have their own bylaws. One thing to be aware of is that these bylaws are usually results of political maneuvering. Politicians might propose a bylaw to make themselves look pious and thus boosting their political careers.
    The curfew for women was actually put in order during the time of a female mayor in Banda Aceh, while one who wanted to lift it was a male governor. This doesn’t actually point out to anything for them as individuals, it’s just politics. As in other places around the world, religions are potent when used as political tools.

Teaching many Islamic scholars and thus having today (contemporary Indonesia) majority as Islamic faith in the world.

    Hey Jossie, this is a great piece of content from you. It’s my first time here. I am Malaysian and have been to Jakarta several times. There isn’t much difference between these two countries in terms of culture and people. Probably because most of us believe in the same things. I like Indonesia the same way I love my country. Anything from there always gets my interest, such as their content on CZcams, the music, the ustads. Everything is easy to adapt and embrace, except for the food. Haha… Indonesian food is mostly dry (as far as my experience goes), but Malaysian food is mostly gravy. I really want to taste the coffee. I am a coffee lover. The law that prevents you from going outside late at night is basically to protect you from any harm. Even though the place is ruled under Sharia Law, we never know if there is a psychopath out there preying on victims

    10:20 I wouldn't be so sure he's being nice asking if you have baby or are married. It is illegal for unmarried couples to stay together in Aceh. The punishment is public flogging and jail. You need to be more careful about the answers you give out.

      In fact, in practice, Aceh's sharia law are not that rigid. They are tourist and we respect them. If you look in detail, many Acehnese couple also dating and walking in public spaces and still don't marry, as long as they don't doin skinship excessively in public places.❤

    FYI, Christian people and other Non-Muslim people in Aceh can CHOOSE the punishment for their crime. And many of them choose Sharia Law. You know why? Because they don't want to waste their time many years in the prison! This is true. And if it is about caning, Singapore also have it. Even Singapore have death punishment for criminals. But no one talk about it...

    Beautiful video to watch, so glad you were able to build and experience many connections. Though you had some pros and cons I do believe there are some misconceptions or misunderstandings that you may have had which is totally acceptable seeing that there may be some language barriers. Many countries that impose sharia law usually only enforce it to its citizens and not tourists/ non-Muslims within reasoning. I applaud you for trying to respect all the rules and just fully embracing the culture/ beliefs. Thank you for your honest and non-biased opinion I hope you get to enjoy many more trips, you just gained a follower as I would love to follow along with your journey! Peace from Canada 😊

    What people don`t know about `Syaria Law` in Acehnese Province, is a mix rule between Indonesian Law.
    I will gives you an example, If someone do `Fornification`, the original punishment in Islam for a Fornification you will get `mass-stoned` untill death. But here in Acehnese Province of Indonesia, you only get lashes with a small bambo in public. (Before you gets lashes, you wear a thick body protector).
    I was real Acehnese from my anchestor, in my Village in West Acehnese (Nagan Raya), what people testimonies about getting this punishment is : `The bamboo lashes is not that hurt, but the shame is unberable...`.
    So, That`s why... Syaria Law is really depended on the leader take place, when this Syaria Law were implemented.
    Acehnese Province, is just like a another common Indonesian province,. Nothing to worried about it...

    No disrespect but you made a lot of assumptions in this video. No one made you fast, you could’ve gotten food the night before and reheated it if nothing’s open. I don’t believe you visited with the best intentions. You went to a small town and dragged it the whole time even though everyone there was nice and welcoming.
