Sunday Morning at the Kencana Park

Enjoying the shade of a tree

My husband and I planned to have chicken porridge for breakfast at the usual place, but we ran out of it. Then we went to the Kencana Park (Bogor, West Java, Indonesia) as usually many food sellers can be seen there during weekend. After eating our breakfast, we’re interested to come near the center of the park –lots of people gathered, made me curious.

The viewers were laughing to watch funny puppets and MC

Modern Jaipong dance- very talented girl!

It turned out that there was a show of various Bogor Sundanese traditional cultures. I spent more than two hours to watch interesting performance of wayang (puppet show), dancers, martial art and traditional music.

Rampak Gendang

Sundanese Pencak Silat - a kind of local martial art. Seems gentle but powerful movements.

 The Kencana Park in my city isn’t a huge park, but it’s wide enough for Bogor people to conduct various activities there. That morning, besides the show of local artists, at least I noticed three other groups were also in the park: skate boarders, photographers and husky-dog lovers.  Some parents with their children were playing plastic ball in the grass field while others just sitting on the grass. We left the place after the show finished. What a nice Sunday morning.  

Some pretty girls were playing kecapi and singing Sundanese songs

Blue were seen here and there, I can link this post to Blue Monday
