印尼旅遊安全指南-雅加達

 我發現在各大旅遊平台討論區上，大家很在乎並常常在討論分享的是關於旅遊時的安全。

在正式進入花式介紹印尼美食及生活之前，我先來講講在印尼碰到的偷搶問題吧！

印尼這次我去了兩個地方，一個是峇里島，一個是雅加達，所以我會就這兩個地區做介紹。

這一次的旅程，我一共在雅加達待了3週，峇里島待了8天。

雅加達的治安問題

如果要比較雅跟峇的治安的話，幾乎不用經過思索就可以回答，答案是雅加達比較差一點。其他我沒去的地方我就不清楚，所以在這裡不做討論。

在各地旅行，幾個避免被搶的重點

一、請打扮得像當地人

到當地可以先觀察別人都是怎麼穿著的，這在出發前其實不太能做功課，如果衣服都已經準備好了的話，這也很難在當地做即時的調整。

二、不要背後背包

不過「背包」是一個很好著手的項目，雖然「背包客」的概念很流行，但是一般旅遊極度不建議帶

後背包。因為相對的，背後背包很容易讓你被認為是「觀光客」。不只容易被搶劫，買東西可能還會被開出比較高的價格。

雖然後背包很能裝、很方便，可以給予很好的安全感，但是也容易讓你成為被偷竊的對象。

換個角度想，如果你把全部的行李都背在身上，不就增加了你東西不見的風險了嗎？

況且，我認為後背包很容易很重，因為什麼東西都想要往裡面塞。如果去人潮密集的地方，你勢必會要把背包背在前面，這樣子的行為對腰部也會造成很大的負擔。整體而言會讓體力消耗得更快，但玩的會不夠盡興。

如果你是喜好拍照的人就更不用說了，你要拍照的時候，常常會做出一個舉動，就是把包包放到旁邊的地上。但在一個人專心幫你拍照，你要看天空、看遠方、擺Pose的時候哪能好好的顧好背包呢？

這時候你會想問我，那水呢？我想喝水怎麼辦？我習慣包包裡面放一瓶水呀！好問題。在印尼我認為買水是一件很容易的事情，「裝水」反而相對是一件困難的事。就算你背再大罐的水，總是會有喝完的時候吧。喝完了也是要再買新的，罐子本身也有重量。我個人會建議「直接在路上買水吧！」，一瓶水不過是十幾塊錢，要是因為被偷了別的東西，不就因小失大了。一罐1500ml的水在當地的便利商店買只要6000rp，折合台幣12元，喝完罐子就可以扔了。如果是兩個人一起行動的話，買一瓶一起喝是一個不錯的選擇。

三、斜背包是好選擇

不知道你會不會覺得背斜背包肩膀會太痠不舒服？那可能是你的斜背包太大了。你的背包只要帶重要的東西就好了！

重要的東西包括哪些？護照、錢包、手機、太陽眼鏡。

你的斜背包可以貼身背，走在大街上一手可以抓住背帶。拍照的時候，就把你的背包掛在攝影師的脖子上就好了。簡單輕鬆。

要如何挑選斜背包？除了前面所說不要過大之外，背帶及扣環也可以注意一下。盡量選擇不會太容易被剪掉，不容易崩開的材質。如果你的背包是上千上萬塊，掉了會心疼的人，就請自行斟酌囉～

我這次選擇的是NET紅標特價的時候買的不到百元的斜背包（非業配），掉了完全不會心疼ＸＤＤＤ不過材質本上也不到特別好，所以沒有推薦大家都去買。

四、請不要邊走路邊滑手機

我這次是沒有遇到背包被搶的問題，但手機被搶卻是親眼所見！！！！

一到印尼就聽朋友分享之前手機被搶的故事，豈料某一天吃完晚餐的時候，另一個朋友一邊處理公務，一邊吃飽準備開車，結果登登登⋯⋯手機就被搶了。還好他反應機靈，之前就知道這樣的事情，所以馬上就搶回來了。真是好險呀～

講述一下被搶的環境。印尼很容易塞車，到處都在塞車的程度。那時候是吃飯尖峰時間，我們吃的算是路邊的小店。搶匪我們推測應該是在附近一直騎摩托車繞圈的慣犯，專門鎖定剛吃飽一邊走路一邊滑手機的人。如果被搶，以當時的車況，一定追不回來，連是誰搶的可能都無法曉得。找回手機的機會微乎其微。基本上如果有保險的話，只能去取得報案單申請理賠而已。

手機不見事小，但是你的重要資料、訂房資訊、聯絡人、業務資料、照片、google maps都不能用，超級麻煩的。

再來講解一下走路滑手機的手勢。如果你是習慣用大拇指打字的人就需要特別注意了，因為對方經過你的時候，從背後一抽基本上你是抓不住的。朋友之所以能搶回來，是因為他滑手機的時候手一上一下扣住了，一把才能扯回來。

在親眼目睹這件事情之後，只要人走靠近馬路，我們都會互相提醒「把手機收進包包裡，手抓好背帶」，在人行道上也是。千萬要特別注意了！

五、找當地人帶你

雖然不是這次發生的事情，但有聽說有朋友獨身一人住飯店。從飯店走出來的時候就被盯上了，一轉彎就被要錢的故事。

你從哪裡出發、身邊有沒有會講印尼文的當地人，我認為多多少少可能還是會有一點影響。

如果可以的話，找當地人帶你一起行動、對附近的人友善，如果你遭遇困難的時候才會有人幫你。

雅加達的排華問題

很多人都知道印尼有好幾次的排華事件，尤其是1998年最為嚴重。現在印尼還會排華嗎？

我個人並沒有特別感覺到印尼人排斥的情緒。吃飯、逛街、按摩、搭車大家都是很友善的，不需要特別在意。

如果是生活在當地或是在當地做生意，那就有可能被特別看待。純粹旅遊的話，只要錢到位什麼都好談ＸＤ

另外，我觀察印尼的社會階級分層還是很明顯的。先遑論印尼人與華人，在印尼人裡面就有分成從鄉下來的，接受過高等教育的等等，他們彼此就有著上下關係。我認為只要對人友善，不要有「瞧不起」別人的態度，把謝謝掛在嘴上是我們可以做到的事情。

「謝謝」的印尼文「Terima kasih」，可以說「蛤蠣馬尬夕」，或是簡短說「馬尬夕」。

I noticed that on various travel platforms, people are very concerned and often discuss safety while traveling.

Before I get into introducing Indonesian food and lifestyle, let me talk about the theft problems I encountered in Indonesia!

I have been to two places in Indonesia, Bali and Jakarta, so I will introduce these two regions. I stayed in Jakarta for three weeks and in Bali for eight days during this trip.

Safety issues in Jakarta

If we compare the safety of Jakarta with Bali, the answer is almost immediate that Jakarta is a bit worse. I'm not sure about other places I haven't been to, so I won't discuss them here.

Tips for avoiding being robbed while traveling

1. Dress like a local

You can observe how locals dress before you go there. It's difficult to make real-time adjustments if you have already prepared your clothes before departure.

2. Don't carry a backpack on your back

Although the concept of "backpackers" is popular, it is not recommended to carry a backpack on your back for safety reasons, especially since it can make you easily identified as a "tourist." It is also not recommended because it increases the risk of theft.

In addition, backpacks are heavy and can be a burden on your waist if you carry them in front of you, which can cause you to tire more quickly. If you are in a crowded place, you will need to hold the backpack in front of you, which can be inconvenient.

3. Crossbody bags are a good choice

Your crossbody bag can be worn close to your body, and you can grab the strap with one hand while walking on the street. When taking photos, you can hang your bag around the photographer's neck.

When choosing a crossbody bag, pay attention to the material of the strap and buckle, and choose a material that is not easy to cut or break.

4. Don't use your phone while walking

I didn't encounter any problems with my backpack being stolen this time, but I did witness my phone being stolen!!!

As soon as I arrived in Indonesia, a friend shared a story about their phone being stolen before. Little did I know that one day, when we finished dinner, another friend was dealing with work matters and getting ready to drive while eating, when suddenly...their phone was stolen. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and knew about these types of incidents beforehand, so they were able to snatch it back. It was really lucky!

Let me describe the environment where the theft happened. Indonesia is notorious for its heavy traffic. At that time, it was peak dinner hour, and we were eating at a roadside stall. We speculated that the thief was a habitual offender riding a motorcycle around the area, specifically targeting people who were walking and using their phones after eating. If your phone was stolen, given the condition of the roads, it would be impossible to catch up with the thief, and you wouldn't even know who stole it. The chances of getting your phone back were slim. Basically, if you had insurance, you could only file a police report and apply for compensation.

Losing your phone is one thing, but losing your important data, booking information, contacts, business data, photos, and Google Maps is a huge inconvenience.

Now let me explain the gesture of walking and using your phone. If you're someone who's used to typing with your thumb, you need to be especially careful, because when the thief passes by you from behind and pulls on your phone, you basically can't hold on to it. The reason why my friend was able to retrieve their phone was because they had their hand on the phone and were able to pull it back.

After witnessing this incident firsthand, whenever we walk near the road, we remind each other to "put your phone in your bag and hold onto the strap," even on the sidewalk. Be especially careful!

5. Find a local to guide you

Although it didn't happen this time, I heard that a friend lived alone in a hotel. As soon as they walked out of the hotel, they were being watched and were asked for money as soon as they turned a corner.

Where you start from and whether you have locals who speak Indonesian around you may have some impact.

If possible, find locals to accompany you and be friendly to nearby people. Only then will someone help you if you encounter difficulties.

Anti-Chinese sentiment in Jakarta

Many people know that there have been several anti-Chinese incidents in Indonesia, especially the most serious one in 1998. Is there still anti-Chinese sentiment in Indonesia now?

I personally did not feel any anti-Chinese sentiment from Indonesians. People were friendly while eating, shopping, getting massages, and taking transportation.

If you live or do business in Indonesia, you may be treated differently. For purely tourist purposes, as long as the money is right, everything is negotiable.

In addition, I observed that there is still a clear social hierarchy in Indonesia. Regardless of the Chinese-Indonesian relationship, there are hierarchies among Indonesians, such as those who come from rural areas and those who have received higher education.

I believe that as long as we are friendly and do not have a condescending attitude towards others, saying "thank you" in Indonesian ("Terima kasih") and being grateful can make a difference.
