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

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.

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. Cheers from the province of South Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Indonesia 🇮🇩🍻🇦🇺

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... Save travel to you all...

Westerners (and non-Muslims in general) need not worry about Sharia law in Aceh. It applies only to Muslims. Non-Muslims are subject to the same laws as everyone else, including paying taxes. They may also face fines for violating certain regulations, but they cannot be sentenced to punishments specific to Sharia law.

In Aceh there were many church burnings because of the implementation of Sharia law, that's why nature spontaneously punished Aceh with an earthquake and tsunami, and the United States came to send medical aid.

@@josieliftsthings Thank you for the nice video. I wanted to answer regarding "Assalamu aleikum": Most scholars of Islam are of the opinion that as a Muslim you can respond with "Wa aleikum salam" = answer to Assalamu aleikum. But as a Muslim you should greet obvious non-Muslims normally, respectfully with nice words but not with Assalamu aleikum. There is nothing wrong when non-Muslims greet Muslims with Assalmu Aleikum. Greetings from Austria and thank you for the nice video and for the nice impressions of Indonesia.

In Indonesia, when people say milk, mostly it refers to condense milk, not just a full cream milk like you have at Wollies or Coles. Thats why your coffee got sweet.

I live in Borneo part of Indonesia and one of my teacher is Acehnese. He said he's very happy to live in my province because he can freely go to cinemas to watch movie both foreign and Indonesian of any genres. He said in Aceh there's no any cinemas because the locals said it's satanic demonic or too western. My point is bigots exist in all religion, Christian Islam Hindu etc, but no worries I believe good people exist in all religion☪️✝️☦️🕉️✡️☸️☯️

Thank you for visting in Aceh Indonesia. As an Australian born and Indonesian descent person. Indonesia is welcome to all tourist though majority is Islam practise religion. Indonesian people are very hospitality people, no matter what background you are. FUN FACT: Aceh, if you dont know about our anicent history in Indonesia was the first blueprint on bringing Islam to Indonesia mainly in Sumatra and Jawa provinsi. Teaching many Islamic scholars and thus having today (contemporary Indonesia) majority as Islamic faith in the world. Aceh provinsi is important in Indonesia because its what spread the Islamic religion everywhere in Indonesia. ❤

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 KZread, 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

I've lived in aceh as a Catholic for almost two decades. Back then I can practice my faith without no problem. We have our own church and sunday school. Pork and alcohol is also available even though only on special regulated stores. Ironically now I'm a Mulim I now don't have the chance to visit aceh again

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.

Compare to boxing game you get hit on your face and body. It hurt also.. why nobody complain those thing. Two humans fight each other. Very barbaric😢

The funniest sh*t about Sharia law in Aceh is common people got punished by flogging for petty things like dating in public places but when politicians commit corruption like Irwandi Yusuf (former GAM rebel officer & then became Aceh governor) he doesn't get flogged or similarly heavy punishment 😂

When you visit any country that practice Islam, in month of Ramadan you can buy food at the supermarket or restaurant but as to respect the local you can eat at the hotel but not in public.. also the time for Iftar depends on each country time to call for prayers.. different country , different time.. 😊❤ love from 🇧🇳

huaa i miss aceh.. i am from jakartan.. during tsunami i work for some international ngo and stationed in aceh for 7 month.. the only indonesian on my team, work as a translator, and help the children in view village.. most people in aceh are nice and friendly.. as a muslim i have a chance to do prayer in their masjid raya, but i made some mistake.. in jakarta usually when we take wudhu (water to cleanse part of body before pray) we usually took of our saroong and wear short pants, to avoid our saroong got wet.. but while i do that there, everyone staring at me.. hahaha.. but i imediately explain that i am from jakarta and didnt know that.. they understand and will ease at us a little bit if we are not from there.. wonderful experience, friendly people and amazing food in aceh..

Traveled there with my chinese indonesian friend. He was very nervous in the begining till we sit in the coffee shop. I spotted simething and signed him to check. A table next to ours, there were a couple of guys. One of them wore tshirt with logo and writing "Xhamster"! He silently shout "What a heck!" He felt beteayed by sharia law.

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...

I think in the coffe shop women are allowed to enter there, it's just not many women like coffe in that kind of place. Women here usually looking for aesthetic places when drinking or eating out so often times you only see guys in there.

Exactly like you said. Those actions (like gambling, drinking alcohol, etc.) by cultures are originally prohibited, and for good reason. Aceh people just make it real, not only concept. We Indonesians accept it. Oh, I also supported if they have sharia law in economy, like prohibiting interest in bank system, or interest in credit system. That would be very helpful.

Not all Muslims respond to "assalamualaikum" greetings from non-Muslims. If there are people who don't reply to your greeting, please no have to feel strange or offended, most non-Muslims in Indonesia already understand this so they (non-Muslims) sometimes didn't say "assalamualaikum" and prefer to just say "good morning/afternoon/night".
