Anklung Night

Huh, so I did not do a post on this. Just found that out as I was looking through my blog, looking for the right post to upload these pictures to. Anyways, we are doing it now, even if this was waaaaay back in the day. Before I became a teacher but after dinosaurs. It is not that overdue.

This was the venue.

 

There were many puppets there.

 You know it was a good tourist attraction because it had a gift shop.

Look at how cool that gift shop is! It must be an awesome place to visit.

A trash can.

In Indonesia, soccer balls grow in trees.

Soon these soccer balls will be ready for harvest.

Something. I don't know.

So peaceful looking. Like something on the cover of a self meditation book.

A hut. The hanging things are anklungs.

Some type of music-y thing. I think.

Yeah, still not sure.

Ah, so it was a music-y thingy. My powers of intuition never fail me.

Always gotta take pictures of bamboo.

AHH! What is that!?

Oh, it is a ram. Hello there ram.

This did not look like it belonged on the cover of a self meditation book.

Oooh, I can't wait for soccer ball season.

Decorative coconuts.

The MCs. They MCed it up.

The stage.

Hey modern drum set, what are you doing here. This is for traditional instruments. Get with it.

The puppet show was pretty intense and violent. (No, I'm not kidding)

The cavalry had arrived!

They even brought flags. How professional.

The path has been cleared for the VIP.

Looking cool. Like a boss.

Everyone to your positions!

And now, entertainment for the VIP.

Dancing. . .

More Dancing. . . 

More Dancing. . . (hey, making captions is harder than you think, ok?)

Straight chillin'. Like a boss.

They are doing. . . ummm, something.

Time to leave, like a boss.

Gettin' outta here. Like a boss.

Peacock dance. Some one should tell them that female peacocks don't look so colorful.

Stop trying. We all know you are female.

Your lack of Y chromosome is still obvious.

Time to bust out the anklungs.

Release the toddler!

Too much totes presh.

So adorable he does not have to stay in formation.

Anklungs ablaze.

Look at how adorable he is!

Yeah, he is adorable all right.

Anklung orchestra. They were admittedly awesome and even played Bohemian Rhapsody.
