LAKE TOBA: Indonesia's BIGGEST Lake 🇮🇩

In this video, we are heading to Lake Toba, Indonesia's biggest lake. This is easily one of the most recommended places that you guys had so I had to come to see it. And it did not disappoint, Laka Toba is absolutely beautiful... and HUGE. To get to Toba, I ended up just renting my homestay's scooter. I thought I would have to take a bus, but I'm glad I didn't because this allowed me to stop and check out all the cool things that I see along the way. And in this video, I stop a lot. After a long 5-plus hour scooter ride, I finally make it to my hotel....

    6:22 the man who works at the parking lot isn't employed by the restaurant, it's almost always just a local guy who decided to make you pay to park your vehicles there in exchange for some security (making sure nothing gets stolen). They also help visitors park their vehicles if it ever gets busy and parking becomes difficult. It's common practice all over Indonesia

    Sumatera is huge. For comparison, we compare Sumatra with Spain, where the area of ​​Sumatra is 473.481 km2 and Spain is 505.990 km2. North Sumatra (72.981 km2) is approximately the same area as the state of South Carolina (77.982 km2) in the United States. The footage of the luxurious house is the Simalungun Regent's house. The regent is not the same as the village head. Indonesia consists of 38 Provinces, and the leader is a Governor. Under Province are Regencies and Cities. There are 416 Regencies in Indonesia, the leader of which is a Regent. There are 98 Cities in Indonesia and the leader is a Mayor. Under the Regencies and Cities is the District. There are a total of 7,274 Districts in Indonesia, the leader of which is a District head. Under the District are Villages (Desa/Rural) and Sub-District (Kelurahan/Urban). In total there are 74,961 villages and 8,506 sub-districts in Indonesia, the leader of which is a village head. See how luxurious the Simalungun Regent's house is compared to the people's houses. That is Indonesia where the gap between the rich and the poor is quite wide. Btw, the farm workers who harvest the carrots are Nias people and come from Nias Island. Nias Island is an island in the west of North Sumatra. If you have the time and opportunity, you can explore Nias Island, because of its beautiful sea, nature, and culture. Nias is the Bali of North Sumatra.
