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 in the back seat. 😀

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

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.
 Mengunjungi Desa Saya

Bulan lalu, saya dan keluarga pergi ke Banyumas yang berlokasi di Jawa Tengah, Indonesia.
Kami mengendarai mobil. Saya menikmati perjalanan sepanjang hari meskipun butuh 2 hari
untuk sampai ke sana. Kami menyenangkan, kakak saya membuat lelucon sepanjang hari. Ayah
saya menceritakan beberapa kisah dalam perjalanan. Ibuku tidur di kursi belakang.

Hari pertama saya di desa saya, saya mengunjungi saudara dan teman saya. Kami disambut
dengan kebahagiaan. Ketika saya melihat orang tua saya, mereka menangis karena mereka
tampak bahagia bertemu dengan keluarga mereka. Keesokan harinya, saya, saudara lelaki saya,
sepupu dan keponakan saya pergi ke tempat yang populer di Purwokerto. Itu disebut
"Baturaden". Itu adalah tempat favorit di Purwokerto. Kami menikmati makanan khas lokal
sebagai kuliner. Saya puas dan begitu pula mereka. Selanjutnya, saya mengambil foto dengan
musisi musik tradisional.

Adikku, sepupu dan keponakanku menikmati pemandangan bersama pengunjung lain. Mereka
mengambil foto dengan gaya mereka seperti yang saya lakukan. Di malam hari, kami kembali ke
rumah. Dan melakukan kegiatan pribadi lainnya, seperti bercakap-cakap, menceritakan kisah dan
membuat lelucon.

Lusa, sepupu saya mengadakan upacara untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Tuhan karena
memberkati putra mereka. Itu disebut "Nazar". Ketika orang tua memiliki janji untuk sesuatu dan
itu terwujud. Mereka harus membuat upacara tradisional. Saya menyaksikan upacara tradisional
itu dan mengambil foto mereka.

Untuk pertunjukan terakhir, kami dihibur oleh "Ebeg". Itu seni tradisional. Pemain menari
melalui musik tradisional dan mereka ditangani oleh roh. Menakutkan, tapi menyenangkan dan
menghibur.

Waktu berjalan sangat cepat karena hari berikutnya adalah hari terakhir kami di desa. Jadi saya
mengambil foto terakhir untuk membawanya pulang. Mereka adalah keluarga saya dan masih
keluarga sampai napas terakhir di dunia ini. Akhirnya, kami harus pulang dan membawa
pengalaman cinta dari keluarga. Yap ... itu bagian tersulit.
