🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

  • In Indonesia, the left hand is traditionally perceived as the hand used to clean oneself after going to the toilet. When shaking hands, offering a gift, giving or receiving something, eating, pointing or touching someone, among other things, it is considered proper etiquette to only use the right hand.

  • Seriously. I tried google info about the Torajan people in my mother tongue (swedish) and english. Sonny has covered more about their culture, (more specific: their cermonies around the funeral) in this video than you can find from digging in google in english. It's in one way sad that there isn't more written about their unique culture (in languages I understand), but also that is a testament of what this channel and the team from time to time produces; short educational videos on the HIGHEST level. Even though not in an academic sense but still very admirable and makes a social anthropologist like myself very happy.

They will take care of them as if they're still alive, consider this as a limbo phase for them. When the funeral begin, that's when the person officially declared dead and on the process of passing through the afterlife. The buffalos got slaughtered as a ride for the deceased one in afterlife. The more higher the person's social status and prestige when still alive,the more buffalos needed to get slaughtered. The whole family will take the burden of purchasing the buffalos, it's their duty. If they have insufficient fund, the buffalo owners will give them lifetime loan. This is why there's a phrasing from Torajan "We are already on debt when we are still inside the womb". So if someone wants to marry a torajan, that person have to embrace the debt culture aswell.

This ceremony was taken in Toraja tribe village (Sulawesi Island) in which all of them are Cristian, so they do eat pigs etc. Indonesia is very huge country with a lot of Islands/traditions /local languages/ cultures for each region. Even though majority are muslim, but not all of them are muslim.

Got a couple tears out of me, but this was a real fascinating look into the lives of a people so far divorced from what seems normal to me personally, and I really appreciated it. I lived in Jakarta for a year or so before Corona annd tried to get out of town as much as possible, and I'd never even heard of these people, much less learned how they see death, so thanks for opening my eyes.

Usually, when I ask non-Indonesians about our country, they only know Bali or Jakarta, if the person is Muslim, they will say "Indonesia is a Muslim country", etc. I loved it when people from other countries learned something new and have the curiosity to know more about our culture! Especially their reaction and opinion after learning about it always excite me, both positive and negative. Can't wait to see more Indonesian series! As always, enjoy Indonesia!

  • The "long bean" you are holding in 6:52 is not a bean. It is a long pepper, the cousin of Piper ningrum that we commonly known as pepper (black & white pepper). It is known in Indonesian as cabe jamu, or cabe Jawa, also called as lada (which is also how 🌶 and white &black pepper is called) It has some spice kickin it. And we had exported it since ancient times, along with pepper, nutmeg, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. Reaching Rome and China.
