Hello, fellas! It's me again. It's been so long, doesn't it? Well, at first I don't know any ideas about what topic I wanna share about, but now I know, and I'll tell you a little about this. It's all about an annually event called Wonderful Indonesia. What is that? 👀

Well, as we know, Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia. Also the world's biggest island country located between Indian and Pacific Ocean which has more than 17.000 islands. Indonesia become a home to hundreds of ethnic groups speaking many different languages. It's known for many famous tourists destinations, for example Bali island, Komodo island, Borobudur temple, and many more.

If you have a plan to visit any tropical country in Asia, make sure you come to Indonesia too, because Indonesia was once mentioned in a brand new film that won many nominations in Oscar called "La La Land". Actually it's not just being mentioned but they described that Indonesia is like heaven on the Earth. It is! I'll guarantee, Indonesia won't disappoint you.

So, back to the event. Wonderful Indonesia is an event where held by Indonesians. What we do? We are introducing our cultures to residents of Russia, many cultures as we could from Sabang (Aceh) to Merauke (Papua). We appreciate that many residents of Russia would like to know new cultures. From what I see from previous events, there were a lot of audience from different ages. I'm very happy to know that there are still people who appreciate cultures from different countries, especially young people.

Usually there are performances like traditional dances, traditional songs, or films about beautiful islands in Indonesia. Also there are exhibitions that displays pictures of islands, many souvenirs from different tribes in Indonesia, and last but not least, exhibitions that displays any different Indonesian foods.

A traditional dance from Borneo called "Tari Dayak". (Sorry for the uncomfortable angle tho)

Wonderful Indonesia 2017 was held on 28th April 2017 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Every year WI (Wonderful Indonesia) will take place on different cities. For example, WI 2016 took place on Volgograd. Maybe next WI will be in Sochi. Or not hahaha (actually I don't really know, there aren't news about that, yet). Of course it was a great experience, it was fun and it was a success for WI. The audience was happy, they are really interested in all about Indonesia. Some of them have a plan to visit Indonesia, another asked us some questions like "how much for a ticket from here to Indonesia?", "how many hours from here to Indonesia by an airplane?" or something like that.



I am so happy and so proud for our team, we did it! We nailed the event! Thanks to all people who participated, you really did a great job, guys! Thanks to the audience, for coming to the event, we appreciated you. It's all our job to introduce our motherland to others. The honor is ours. Thank you so much!

So for you my friends all over the world, who recently live, study, or work in foreign country, don't forget to keep your nationalism up! Show them who you are, where you come from (in a good ways of course!), love your motherland! Because we all are brothers and sisters, we are one, even though we are live in different cultures and traditions.

I think that's all I want to say, thank you for reading my blog. Sorry if this is not as perfect as you expected but I'm still trying. Have a nice day for all of you and thank you very much! 💙
PS. I have a link for you to watch Wonderful Indonesia 2017. I'll put it here. 💕
