Indonesia Independence Day
>> Aug 18, 2014
Every
17th August -like yesterday- we celebrate our independence day. The
day usually filled with festive and celebrations. About a week before, the
preparation is already seen. People hoist flags on their
homes along with red-and-white decoration placed throughout the city.

Among many fun contests, panjat
pinang is a very attractive to see game. Several men try to climb oily poles,
to reach attached prizes above.

Hi Lina,
What a happy day you had! The pole climbers must have been fun to watch. Thanks for making Blue Monday special by sharing.
Have a Beautiful Blue Monday!
excellent photo of the pole-climbers... I have never heard of this event!!
So interesting seeing how others celebrate special occasions. Much different in Texas.
Great post. Special day.
