Indonesia National day

#nationalday Every year, on August 17th, the spirit of independence surges in the hearts of every Indonesian citizen. The historic moments of the proclamation of Indonesian independence are commemorated by all Indonesian people, from Sabang to Merauke. The celebration of the Republic of Indonesia's Independence Day is not just a ceremonial event and speeches. This event is a symbol of respect for the struggle of the heroes who died fighting for independence. The red and white flag-raising ceremony is the peak of the moment, reminding us all of the price that must be paid to achieve independence. Various levels of society participate in this ceremony. The uniqueness of the August 17th celebration also lies in the diversity of places where it is held. Not only in ordinary ceremonial fields, but also in unique places such as mountains, beaches, rivers, and even under the sea. The natural beauty of Indonesia is a stunning backdrop, emphasizing that independence is the right of every citizen, wherever they are. In schools, offices, or even homes, independence ceremonies are a place to foster a sense of love for the homeland. Not infrequently, people deliberately seek out a new atmosphere, inviting everyone to reflect on the meaning of independence in other environments. Activities such as mountain climbing, diving under the sea, or holding a ceremony in the middle of a mangrove forest, provide a different experience to this celebration. The commemoration of August 17 is a momentum to remember the long struggle of the Indonesian people in seizing independence from the grip of the colonizers. However, more than that, this celebration is a creative and unique expression of the Indonesian people. All of this does not reduce the meaning of the celebration of Independence Day, which frees them all to freely express themselves, on the anniversary of this country's independence.#nationalday #indonesia 📍Address:

Komodo National Park

Visiting Komodo was one of the best travel adventures I could ask for! We chose to explore it with Le Pirate and spent 5 days on a boat cruising around crystal lagoons. The nature of Komodo is truly unique and spectacular and so it the wildlife. We were lucky to swim with manta rays, see Komodo dragons and see thousands of bats flying from the mangroves into the sky at sunset. One of the highlights was also sleeping on Le Pirate island which is home to a wonderful coral reef. Komodo is definitely the highlight of our trip around Indonesia! #komodo #indonesia
