Had a family function yesterday at "Taman Mini Indonesia Indah". It was fun because it's been a long time I'm not spend time with my big family. This time I gathered with my dad's family. We had chit chat, lunch together, singing and dancing. The unique part was we sing with Flores language and dance of Flores traditional dance. My dad was born and originally come from Flores, and Flores is an area which is part of East Nusa Tenggara. Although if you ask, I don't have any idea what kind of language they use. I just don't get it.. :p
One of the famous dance from Flores is "War Dance", although there's also some others province have the same kind of dance. But every province - Including Flores - have their own difference. From the weapon, costume and music. There's also another dance performed, but I don't know what it's name. My listtle sister perform the dance along with another cousins.
Me and my little sister took picture at the entrance
