    Medan is the mexico of Sumatra, because there are so many criminals such as gangsters, thieves (even fences, electricity poles, water channel covers) they steal everything, and one more there are many hidden drug villages. Be careful there at night, that's why Medan is called the most dangerous city in Indonesia

    The lady who said “be careful “ means to you to take care of your self or look after yourself. It doesn’t really meant you have to be careful because the area is dangerous. In Indonesia we always say “hati-hati” when someone leave us, when you translate it into English is be careful.

    The "danger" & "edge" are all apart of this great human experience. This is true unbiased media, and giving a 100% transparent view into the windows of the lives of others around the world. A POV many of us will never see! These locals live with these "dangers" their whole lives. Continue doing what you do man, its awesome! But, obviously, dont do anything YOU dont want to do or feel comfortable with. Aside from that, thank you for sharing these experiences with us and I cannot wait to see your channel pop off as you deserve! I've watched so many travel channels and you're easily the most personable & relatable. And you delve the deepest into these communities, even agaisnt your own safety at times, just to get the real scoop on things & the content you get from it is nothing short of revolutionary! Sorry for the long spill, but TL:DR - just keep on keepin' on!

    The first time I gave money to a bunch of kids (5 or 6 of them) another 30-40 turned up out of nowhere....I had to hold my hands over my pockets as their hands where everywhere...then they just scattered......a police car turned up......saved me from losing my wallet, my phone, etc... things can go bad really quick, and no one will be on your side in those backstreets. Content is good but don't carry everything on you e.g., leave credit card back at hotel etc. so at least you have access to money if you lose your wallet. Personally, I would not have drunk from a bottle that I did not see opened.....I have spent too much time in Asia and therefore are too cautious...lol

    Actually, this city is the most multicultural city in Indonesia, but unfortunately crime in this city is quite high. Actually, if someone asks you for money, don't always take it seriously, it's better to just leave. If you want to experience riding a train in Indonesia, you should be able to ride while you are still on the island of Java, because taking the train is easier on the island of Java.

    Hi Marco, Thank you for this great video. I live in the city of Medan, and I'm happy for you to explore our city by yourself. I want to explain some of the things that happened in your video. 1. The woman in the blue shirt says "Be careful", she is reminding and praying for you to be safe during your exploration trip, considering the high level of violence in this city, she sincerely prays for you, who are obviously tourists, to stay safe. 2. The street you are exploring, actually you entered the wrong alley, and it leads to residents' housing, that's why it looks empty, because residents are doing their activities at that time. 3. The man and couple riding the motorbike are as you said, he reminded you about your personal belongings, Medan city has quite a high rate of pickpocketing, robbery, mugging, there are people who do this in groups, that's why he reminded you to be careful, even during the day , these elements took action, you know. 4. The street where you meet children with umbrellas, and the same children you give money to, is a dead/closed street because of the construction/repair of the railroad tracks. When you meet children like that, if you are moved to give them money, you should give it a small amount, for example 5 thousand rupiah, because if you give it with that amount, the person who received the money won't even give it to the other children. (FYI when you want to give the money he claims to be their "chief", and he deserves to be appreciated -this kind of things happened here, Medan also called "town of thousand chiefs"-) and this bad problem extends to children too, because they feel it is a common thing to do. 5. The lady that you gave 20K notes, she was joking to you, she don't really mean to have those notes, in Medan if we meet friends, partners, family, we always say "share your money/baleninlah menaing “treat us", this is kind of joke to express we are thankful you have been successful, same like the man who asked for the cigarette, some asked for money, some asked for cigars, some asked for food/drinks. They don't really mean it to take your money away. 6. The green vegetable that is being chopped into pieces, which you said is shaped like a avocado, and the texture of an apple is Chayote vegetable, and it is very common in Indonesia. The fried food is called Bakwan, and it is made from a mixture of cabbage, carrots and flour and other spices and deep fried those. 7. At the café where you were offered the drink, when someone showed you the surfing video, he was telling you where he came from, namely Nias Island, and that is an area where surfing tournaments are often held, if you like surfing, this could be your next destination. Nias Island directly faces the Indian Ocean, so the waves are very good for surfing. 8. The elder Lady who gave you the drink felt happy with your presence, so she served the drink for you, this is the culture in Indonesia, when someone visits and they are happy with your presence, you will be given food and drink, that's why she doesn't want to accepted your intention to pay for your drink, and everyone there said "it's free for you". This is Indonesia buddy, that’s why I said earlier, the lady you gave 20K did not have any intention to take your money away. I hope you understand what I’m trying to explain here buddy. 9. When you take the motorbike rickshaw (Bentor), the price he gave may be a little more expensive, that's actually the usual situation in the city of Medan (maybe the same thing happens in other staes as well), You should bargain with the driver until the price is mutually agreed upon, but because you don't know this, the price is IDR 30k (USD 2), probably 5k more expensive than it should be. but I appreciate that you don't mind that. Thank you for supporting this type of transportation, which has fewer and fewer users these days, due to the Online Transportation. 10. The drink you bought from the hawker, believe me he didn't deliberately raise the price for tourists like you. If you buy at Indomaret/Alfamart at that train station you will also get the same price, bro. He gave the right price for you bro. you even exceeded IDR 1K for that man. Thank you for your kindness. 11. Train tickets that you want to buy but can't, this is most likely due to a misunderstanding between you and the ticket officer. I didn't see you give up your ID in the video. because she asked for your identity, just before you handed over the IDR 10K to her. but I don't know for sure, because it's not taped in the video, because it immediately cuts off and she returns your money. Trains in the city of Medan, because they are still public transportation that connects between cities, are not yet daily transportation like in big cities in general, so they are still very tight, like boarding a plane. Your data is really needed even to buy a train ticket which is only 10 minutes away, and even for IDR 5K train fare. Forgive our city, where people are not yet fully able and understand how to communicate in English, but Indonesia is improving towards globalization. Hope you are not disappointed with Medan City. My sincere advice for your next trip wherever you go in Indonesia, is that you can use Google Translate to communicate with local people, and almost from Sabang to Merauke, Indonesian people are friendly and easy to smile, but still be careful, because there are lots of unscrupulous people. Irresponsible individuals are also roaming around. If you have the intention to communicate further, we can exchange social media, bro, reach me anytime, ask me anything if you or your other friends want to go on an excursion around Medan, North Sumatra and several other areas. I will be happy to help you buddy. none other than for the progress of tourism in our area, because currently there are many solo tourists who need friends to communicate with, at least look for the right information before coming to this area. @effendywaruwu

    I think the tiket that you wanted to buy was an intercity train ticket from Medan to Deli Serdang (Bandar Khalifah Station) and the standard procedure is for you to show your ID or Passport when buying the ticket..and perhaps because of the language barrier, the process became hard where you were even asked to go upstairs? (to her boss? Who may be able to better communicate with you?)...Did you try to use google translate with her?...As you well have noticed by now the Indonesians' command of English outside of Bali have significantly deteriorated..😢. ..

    That building at the beginning was not exactly just a hotel. It was more like a brothel. Closed during Covid I think. I wouldn’t say that it’s in the best part of town, but I don’t think that any part of Medan is exactly dangerous- during day time anyway. Medan in my opinion is an unpleasant charmless place. I actually dislike it quite a lot. But you can walk around the poorest parts of town and you are very unlikely to be robbed - at least during the day. There is a lot of petty gangsterism and extortion/ protection rackets and policing seems inadequate/ not particularly effective.. I could go on.. but basically not something for the average tourist to be over concerned about.

    I doubt it really, they were all fighting too hard for the money to feel generous unless they were friends. Years ago in our resort there were 7 or 8 kids around me, I offered the oldest boy money if he would share - big yes - I gave a 100 pesos which surprised them all, off they ran. I kind of think my money got shared at least a little bit, my group of kids were friends.

    Been following your videos for a while, just don’t understand why you keep giving money to the people. You can help them by purchasing things from them but giving them money and causing chaos to the people????

    Okay mate. Not a fortune teller and never knew there would be chaos. But as you saw in the video, I did not cut in a specified scene where I stopped to give money, it was literally part of a video where I filmed for something like 5 minutes non stop, I show what happens where it happens. I give money on and off camera… I don’t know what else you want me to say 🤷🏽 Thank you for watching
