|  | This festival is awesome and considered one of the biggest festival in Europe and also held annually. Art, campaign, music, food are blended together. There were African singers, dutch artists, moldavian band, Spanish band and even Arabic singers on the day I went to. Yes, there are different flavors on the stage from reggae, rap, pop, etc or even traditional music (see the Indian dancers on the photo below), I also happened to see exciting performance from Moldavian Band, Dutch performers, Afrikaans singer, Spanish band and many more on a single day
Regarding art, most of them seemingly come from Africa but the food is quite varied since I was able to choose from Dutch food (kroket, frikadel, frits), Indonesian food (nasi en bakmi ), Thai food, Sate specialty shop, Thai food or even Ethiopian food.
At last, I do enjoy it. Thanks to Lukas and Anne for organizing this couchsurfing gathering and thanks to my new friends I met there

| | the photos here portray my activities with some friends to see this 'thanksgiving day' for the fishermen in Cilincing, North Jakarta. The main event was when they released the offering to sea. At the same time the boat crew tried to wash their boat with the sea water (and at the same time I immediately tried to secure my camera heheheh)
I never expected to see wild ducks (belibis) there, too bad the polution and environment problem lessen their habitat. I met those ducks near a Hindu Temple near the seashore.
I just wish that more and more people become aware of the enviromental problems in Jakarta (as many people do the same thing)
So, enjoy the pics |
