Anyway, to the point. So this father in law, they have this cleaner name Cuing. So i heard that there is coming Indonesian's independent party and near Jakarta is this little village, just local's village, but they have party of course because independent, so Cuing offered to take me there. So of course i had to take opportunity.
So next day me and Cuing are heading that village with motorbike. When we arrived there, i was straight away surrounded with villager's and everyone was some reason to talk me "mister, mister" they yell all together. I knew already from my previous trips from Asia that this is common but really, Indonesia is number one on that, you feel like movie star there... And people taking pictures of you all the time. But didn't bother me :)
Anyway, there was many kind of competitions, mostly for children, but first was this:
So thing is that top of that pole is small gift's that you have to try to climb and reach them, to get them as a price. But this pole is oiled, so it's not easy, boys were trying to climb on each others shoulders to get higher but every time that looked too easy this guy was making it harder by throwing bucket of water to them, so soon boys were really muddy and slippery, so it was harder and harder. In the end they didn't catch prices but they had fun :)
And all this was really in small village, i was only white people there, shining middle of brown people :D
But yes, next competition was this:
Trying to get coins that were in coconut, hanging on the string, without hands, using just teeth. And coconut was also covered with chocolate sauce so it was messy but tasty :)
That was so fun that also little older were trying it:
Didn't try any of those but next competition was something i tried.
Mission: catch a fish from the pool.
Equipment: just bare hands.
Level: muddy :D
So people were really happy that white man wanted to try that also, but to be honest, that last picture is fake, i didn't get any fish on muddy water, but i really enjoyed that, they just wanted to take picture of me as i would catch the fish.
Of course locals were really good at that, they got more fishes that i probably could get with dynamite and trawler :D
After that i was visiting on Chung's family, we were eating there and they offered me change clothes because my clothes was muddy, and they said i could take nap after dinner when they wash my dirty clothes, soooo friendly :)
After nap we were going to see little boys football match. But some reason scoreboard was match between "Brazil vs German" which ended "German" winning 2-0.
| me and kids watching football game :) |
And of course there was also commentator and little boys were screaming players "names" from famous players :)
Second game was Belgium vs Perancis which ended 2-1. Belgium win.
After that we went back Chung's family, eating again, and i was playing with Chung's kids Hello kitty-game and they were showing me their circus skills:

After that went back to Jakarta, but that was really nice day with really nice people, this was beginning of my 3 months trip after half year working in Finland, couldn't have better start again to my trip, and straight away reminded me WHY i love to travel in Asia and meet these wonderful people there <3
But that's it this time, tell you later where i went and what did i do after that....
