One Thing Aceh Doesn’t Have (But everywhere else in Indonesia does)



Today we are picking up where we left off in the last video. After eating some delicious Mie Ayam, I headed to the coast to check out the mosque that miraculously survived the tsunami in 2004.

Before we get going though I had to grab some bananas at a fruit market on the side of the road. I love Indonesia for this, fresh fruit all over the place, and for cheap, only a dollar fifty for a huge bunch of bananas.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go inside Rahmatullah mosque, but I was able to see the room full of pictures after the tsunami and I was able to get up close to the window and see the inside.

I then drove to the beach, a very empty and quiet beach, to enjoy a coconut. I went down the beach to see if there was any action anywhere and I finally found a spot with a few more people and a lady grilling up some delicious fish.

It was there that I met a man who spoke fluent Japanese. びくっりした！

I then went to the PLTD Apung 1. It’s a tourist attraction and a former active-duty electric generator ship, stranded on dry land in Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. The 2,600-ton vessel had been in the sea when the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami occurred, with the tsunami carrying her 2 to 3 kilometers inland.

I then finish up the video by explaining a little bit about what you don’t see in Aceh but you do in all other places in Indonesia. And that is monuments and anything related to the Indonesian independence. I explain in the video why…

    You should try coconuts water mixed with cold beer Nick. It worked for my colleagues from Lithuania when they was here.

    Hello nick… later u must bring local if u want to see inside the mosque, because locals can ask for permission to imam or head of the village there (that u wont be meet them or recognized them, and the locals dont recognized what ur purpose, coz their english not good understanding ) .. As far as I know, you can enter to see inside the mosque because you are a non-Muslim who is not hostile to Islam, provided that you dress decently and wash your feet before entering there.

    Seperti nya pemerintah daerah Aceh harus lebih meperhatikan lagi tentang fasilitas dan sarana bangunan sejarah untuk para turis dan juga para wisatawan dlm negeri. Agar kejadian yg ada bisa tersampaikan dgn baik dan ke selamatan pengujung juga lebih baik
    Terima kasih nick sudah hadir di kota ku😊

    Most mosques open their doors for people to come inside and have a look … of course it’s the Islamic way to try get people interested and convert .. why doesn’t aceh allow people Inside the mosque?
