The 65th Indonesian independents is celebrated in Los Angeles, USA. I was really glad that I have the opportunity to participate in this festivities. It is an incredible feelings to know that I came from such a rich and deep culture. You can go to the link I have posted by clicking on the comment link below. You can see the short version of this 12 hours long of celebration. Although I must warn you that the narrator uses the Indonesian language. I am sure however you can look for the english version from Youtube.

I am taking lesson to play the gamelan and is it to my surprise that I really-really enjoying it. I joined a musician group call the "Paguyuban Karawitan Ngesti Budoyo." I am so glad that I did. I becamme more familiar with the music of my ancestors.

This girl is only 12 years old. It is really amazing at how she moves and dance imitating a bird. There are so much diversity and deep are the cultural aspect of the Indonesian people that I can say , I am proud to be born in the country that has so much wealth in mores and traditions.
