Merdeka*! Let's Squat!

*Merdeka = Free in Indonesian

Well, the last social event that we had was Indonesian night organized by our CEEDer Ferry. He prepared some Indonesian meals which I unfortunately didn't take picture of; he invited everyone to come to the AIESEC house at 6:30pm and voila!, three hours later the food's finally ready.

Why Indonesian night? The 17th of August is the independence day of Indonesia, and apparently we have no less than three Indonesians in town for the summer. Of course the celebration's still going to happen! The original plan (according to him) is for us to play some games that people in Indonesia usually do during independence day after eating some Indonesian food, and then followed by watching Gie, an Indonesian movie about the reformation period in 1966.

Of course given that we only started eating at 9, we had to scratch the movie. The game was still in the agenda though, albeit we only managed to do one type, but it was so much fun! Want proves? We got pictures!

The idea is to hang a pen with string around your hip, and the goal of the game is to insert the pen to an empty bottle right underneath you by squatting and only moving your hip. If everyone start at the same time, whoever insert the pen inside the bottle first wins the game. Confused? If you see the pictures it makes sense:









The night was finally over after some dancing action...



...and a reminder that we are all best friends in the LC:
