Indonesia will celebrate Indonesia's independence day on August 17, 2022. It will be 77th anniversary. Indonesia was colonized by three countries. They were the Dutch, England, and Japan. On August 17, 1945, the founding fathers proclaimed Independence Day after a long battle with the Dutch and Japanese.
To celebrate Independence Day, there will be some competition. Every community should decorate their neighbourhood with colourful flags and creativity. The most common thing is creating a gate.
This evening, we worked together to make a gate from bamboo. We painted the gate with red and white colors.
Creating a gate is not a big deal for men here. The most important thing is that we can get together. We socialize in working together. We also have some coffee and a small snack.
Most men work and go home in the evening. That is why we make the gate in the evening. On the day, all the men work, and we rarely meet in the day. The moment is very important for us to get closer as a small community.
Though, a few of the men did not do anything, their presence was appreciated. We liked joking, so getting along together was fun. We laughed and told "woman" stories in their workplace. The stories were just for fun.
We started working at 7.30 and finished at 12.00 at midnight. Because it was Saturday night, some of the men would not go to work the next morning, so we could stay up.
We did not buy the bamboo. We cut it from the garden of our village. The gate will be decorated with some lighting tomorrow. This evening, we just finished a half of the project. We would continue the next evening to put on the lighting and flags.
On August 17, there will be some kids competition in the morning. Kids like to participate fun games like running, dancing, singing, and sack race. The local government will provide little presents for the kids who participate in the games.
The tradition to welcome Independence day has been practiced for long time. Everyone will be happy on the Indonesian anniversary. Thanks for reading.
