Visiting My Village

Last month, I and my family went to Banyumas which was located in Central Java,
Indonesia. We drove a car. I enjoyed the journey all day long although it took 2 days
to get there. We were fun, my brother made some jokes all day. My father told us
some stories on the way. My mother slept on the back seat.

My first day in my village, I visited my siblings and friends. We are welcomed

by happiness. When I saw my parents, they cried because they looked so happy to
meet up their families. The next day, I, my brother, my cousin and my nephew went
to a popular place in Purwokerto. It was called “Baturaden”. That was a favorite spot
in Purwokerto. We enjoyed local specialty food as culinary. I was satisfied and so
were they. Next, I took a photo with traditional music musicians.

My brother, my cousin and my nephew enjoy the view with other visitors.
They took a photo with their style like I did. In the evening, we were back home. And
did other private activities, such as made a conversation, told the story and made a
joke.

The day after tomorrow, my cousin had a ceremony to say thanks to God for
blessing their son. It was called “Nazar”. When the parents had a promise for
something and it was realized. They had to make a traditional ceremony. I watched
that traditional ceremony and took their photograph.

For the last show, we were entertained by “Ebeg”. It was traditional art. The
player danced through the traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It
was scary, but it was fun and entertain.

Time run so fast because the next day was our last day in the village. So I took
the last photo to bring it home. They were my family and still family until the last
breath in this world.

Finally, we had to go home and brought a love experience from family.

Yaps… that was the hardest part.
