For the last couple weeks, I had some excursions. For the lectures, for the fun, and for the official meeting. So, in short, I was going around.
It was really nice, of course. From walking in the forest, digging soils, hiking, sliding in the salt mine (underground), to riding big boat along the coast. For photo freak like me, it is indeed collecting pictures time.
So many things to tell that makes me difficult to begin. So I just skip this part. Hahaha.
So, what's new?
World Cup has begun. Are you in football fever? I am not. My World Cup fever was when I was in High School and when I was in Jogja. Remember, joining the neighbors to see the game at night in big screen on the corner of the alley? And it's even not the game that I liked, just simply admiring the gorgeous players..hahaha. I know.
Well, I guess that's all for today.
Oh, wait. I have good thing to tell you. Last Tuesday, there was an international party for TIF and Sufonama students. It was in the old Botanical Garden, near Zentrum. In the invitation it was said that we were suggested to wear our traditional clothes.
Okay then. We did (I mean my Indonesian friend and I). First, I was thinking of wearing batik, but then she persuaded me to wear my Peacock dance costumes. She would wear her Bali dance costumes. And you can imagine how hectic wearing such costumes which were full of accessories. We wore the clothes in the toilet in the cafe of Botanical Garden. With many people passing by to go to the toilet, wondering what we did, even went back out - thinking they came to the wrong room, we had to explain what happened and pleased them to come to the toilet. Some were amazed and praising our beautiful clothes, some just giving weird looks. Two other Indonesian friends helped us, otherwise it was impossible to wear the clothes.
When we got out from the toilet, we became the beautiful princess (we wished). Some people in the cafe took our pictures and even posed together..hehe.
So, that's not the real fun. The surprise was, other people in the party didn't w
ear traditional clothes. They were just wearing casual t-shirts and jins, or skirt or blouse.Good.
So, we're like lost circus member...hehe. But they liked our costumes and took a lot of pictures. And we were indeed beautiful (just nod, don't deny).
Good thing, in the next two hours, some other people came, colleagues from Nepal and Philippines. They wore traditional clothes, so, we were safe. Oh, happy day.
