After that , we made our yel – yel together. We walked until Merdeka street and then back to Bali Field. There are many students who followed the parade.

After parade , we went to our booth and watch the opening ceremony. Our city mayor is came too! After the opening ceremony we watched calung and benjang performance. Calung is a traditional music instrument from west java. Benjang is a physical exercise from west java. Its like a wrestling but benjang is accompanied with traditional music.

After that , we watched Dangdut Orchestra from ITB and degung. Degung is a traditional music ansamble.after that we watched MK3 performances! MK3 is a classical music extracurricular from 3 Senior high school. They performed 3 song. I’m sorry I didn’t know the tittle of the songs L.after MK3 performances , we watched Pencak silat demonstration from elementary school students.

Finally we watched a drama from Tiloe’s Theatre. T’sT is an Extracurricular too! They always make great performances on stage. I really love it. Matswapati have traditional food festival too! The slogan is “You are What you Eat”. The food festival sell many traditional foods like Lotek , cilok , Cassava chips , and many more.

At 18.00 we watched KV3 and Barsena performances. I love barsena’s voice and …… he looks so handsome ! At the end  we sang along with Glenn Fredly !

I asked one of the committee. Her name is Felia prima Wefiani. She is a decoration committee. She said Matswapati Culture Festival  was very successful! She said that Matswapati will be the unforgettable memory in her life. She likes Glenn Fredly and Barsena performances. And Actually she took a picture with a special person /ups.

I Visit a school too! It’s Indonesia – Netherland. I can play with snow there. At Paris , I visit Eiffel Tower , Louvre , Arc de triumph and many more ! the temperature at Paris wasn’t so cold. So I just wear jacket. We traveled by luxury coach. The trip from Netherlands to Paris Spent 7 hours , and from Brussels to Netherlands spend 3 Hours. We always stopped at rest area every  2 hours.  At Brussels , I visited Grand Palace , and Manekkin Piss Chocolate Shop. It’s the best Choco shop at Brussels . I bought some Belgian waffle too! Its different from Indonesian waffle. They use whip cream , fresh fruit , caramel , jam , and manekkin piss gummy candy.

My second unforgettable memories is when I went to Japan. I went there for a student exchange. I visisted japan with 18 friends. In Japan , I live at a big dormitory. It’s a spooky dormitory but I enjoy to stay there. I stayed at japan for 8 days. Me and my friends studied at two school , Osaka Bunka Kokusai Gakkou ( Japanese language school) and Toyonaka Junior High School. We visited Japan old city , Kyoto. Kyoto is a beautiful city. The building was old and many temple there. We went to Kyoto by subway. Toyonaka School is far from our dorm. So we must use subway and monorail.
