67 years ago Indonesia finally got independent.
And five years ago I celebrated the Independence Day with my school, my teachers, my classmates and my hostfamily in Karawang, Indonesia.
It was amazing to join their traditions during that day!
In school was no teaching and no homework (at least I didn't get some homework!), the students were playing some games with the teachers, even the principal joined these games. I actually didn't really understood these games. At that time I was just a few days in Indonesia and I couldn't yet speak Indonesian.
After school I went out with my hostfather and my hostbrother. They took me to some places in Karawang with more "games"... It was really funny watching these games..
Here are some pictures:
Some men trying to climb to the top of this "thing".
They are trying to get the flag and the presents on top.

It doesn't work if you do it alone!
Team Work needed!!
They really need to take a shower after that game :P
Getting closer!
Finally after nearly one and a half hour watching!!
Afterwards we went to see another game... I don't know what it was about, we didn't watched it that long because it was close to dinner time and we were quite hungry ;)
Once again Happy Independence Day to all the Indonesians all over the world!
I can't wait to visit Indonesia again!
