Alun-Alun means a city square. This particular square has been filled with man powered carts COVERED in LED lights and outfitted with sound systems.
tandem bikes also zoomed around the square.
Since this happens every night the square is not closed off to traffic. As we are peddling around we have to weave in between motorbikes, and cars and hope that our rusty breaks don't give out.
We are a huge hit. Fresh on our Bahasa Indonesian we screamed HATI-HATI (watch out!) and SAYA DARI AMERIKA (I am from America) at any on who got too close or stepped in our way.
The center of the square is empty except for two huge Banyan trees. According to history if you make an wish and are able to walk blindfolded between the trees with out running into one or anyone then your wish will come true.
All around the trees are vendor with bubble, glow sticks, and wands.
We all immediately turned into 5 year olds and pranced around with wands pretending to be harry potter.
Shout out to the Eastern Shore!
Even our teachers enjoyed themselves!
