World Dance Day (International Dance Day) has been celebrated on April 29 every year. Honestly, I just found out about it this year. Mainly because a friend was performing for this event. World Dance Day has been celebrated on April 29 through promotion by the International Dance Council, an umbrella organization within UNESCO.
So this year, my friends and I travelled all the way from Yogyakarta to Solo to support a friend who not only danced but also choreographed the dance in honour of representing Malaysia. The event in Indonesia was held at Institut Seni Indonesia, Solo.
By the time we arrived in Solo, it was raining heavily.
Performance by 'Waria' (transvestites)
Nathan (circled) was dragged on stage to dance with the transvestites. Hehe.
Peformance by high school students from Bandung.
This dance was called 'Freedom'
Last but not least, performance by my friend.
Wanted to post more pictures but this was the best shot for his performance.
Something unexpected happened on the way back from Solo to Yogyakarta. Our car died in the middle of the road at 4.00am. So there we were, 5 girls & 2 guys trying our best to push the car and trying to start the car. There wasn't any problem with the battery, water level and the oil tank was still full.
So why didn't the car start?
We were pretty much stranded in the wee hours of the morning with no mechanic to contact. We finally got hold of the owner of the car rental and he told us that the car had a GPS tracking system and its was switched off or something like that. So the car died because it was switched off. Ehh?
In the end we waited for 4 hours till the owner came with another car for us and deal with the car that wouldn't start. What a day....
