Ancient boat building is very much alive in Indonesia and the Philippines. I have seen one built without using any nails. They used joints and dowels. Simply! Amazing!
@@joesangle Yup, that's right. The knowledge is passed on verbally. Recently, our archaelogist unearthed an ancient ship. A "Balangay". It's a warship/trader. Although, it was submerged in water and mud. It survived. Ancient malays knew what wood to use and how to preserve it. It is now displayed in our National Museaum. Indonesia, Philippines and Brunei share a common heritage. I think you noticed it by now. I find it quite amazing that we are able to preserve our heritage. Thanks for your time and i wish you luck on your travels👍😁🇵🇭
İ'm Rafika from south Sulawesi. thank you for the content, I really appreciate the way you introduce Indonesia, especially South Sulawesi to foreign countries, I hope you are always healthy and safe, can't wait to see other amazing content from you

I would encourage you to continue to document your adventures as you have a natural ease with the local peoples and and they with you which allows us viewers a window into their unique lives, traditions and skills. Excellent video and I really hope you produce some more feature length pieces like this one. EXCELLENT work and safe travels.
Thank You Nathan. There are 7 more episodes of 'Joe's Angle' currently being edited for publication. Subscribers are automatically notified when they are published, so be sure to subscribe. The next episode is soon to be published entitled "Nutmeg, the Nut that Changed the World" which includes the story of some of the bloodiest events in history.
Thank you for your comment, Daniela! We are currently finishing the follow up to the ‘Bugis’ episode: ‘Nutmeg - the nut that changed the world’ filmed in the Banda Islands. And we will soon publish a trailer for the series that includes material from the Naga and Apatani Head Hunter Tribes in NE India; the tsunami aftermath in the Andaman Islands, Bay of Bengal; the Tea Plantations of Assam; the island of Majuli in the Brahmaputra River; the Imraguen Tribe in Mauritania where the Sahara meets the Atlantic; and even a Cracker Cowboy adventure in SE Florida. Stay tuned!
The Bugis people really impressed me with their ship building skills. Hope you managed to reach Tanjung Bira beach too as a reward for the long journey. Btw they also have the longest written saga/myth in the world - Sureq Galigo.
Rafiq, Great comment.. I have been to Sulawesi on two different occasions and I did get to Bira both times. I have footage of a couple who were finishing the construction of their Prahu in the harbor at Bira which will likely be published as a short video. Also, I was educated about La Galigo by Dr Darmawan Anwar. And, my dear friend Rhoda Grauer produced an award winning program about Bugis culture called 'The Last Bissu'
@@J0sephMJac0bs gogos is a specialty of South Sulawesi, so it might be difficult to find online. Lemper is different, but super yummy, kind of like a onigiri but grilled. Holland Bakery makes nice lemper.
These phinisi yacht with mitsubishi engine were quite popular for charter before the pandemic as they are cheaper and rustic, hopefully the condition will improve...
No, it's not a rifle!😅 That is Alessandro Ruiu, our Italian guide, holding a tripod. The area is totally safe and the people are extremely friendly… if a little shy.
Very safe area. Even if someone is carrying a gun on the beach, it is certain that it is a fish gun (speargun) that is used when diving. And 4.5mm caliber air rifles are also legal in Indonesia. Usually used by farmers to hunt pests or animals that are consumed
Joe's Angle - Travel and Fishing Adventures 1 second ago Mohammed, not yet, but I have maintained friendships with some of the series' subjects and there are discussions about doing just that
the south east asian, up north to south thailand, build boat outside in, shell first, frame or braces later, thus resulting in natural curves and perfect symmetry.
