Hi Mylot. I'm so sorry for not post this as soon as I can, I know some of the user would like to have this story come quickly. Yesterday on August 17, 2013, that was an Indonesia's Independence Celebration day. I was so exited to come at the night before because usually there are flag ceremony held for all citizen at Merdeka area. every city has this area consist of wide field and have a flagpole that will rise the flag there. But there was a rain come since 4.30 am I woke up and I think the ceremony will be held delayed. as expected it still rain until 8.00 am. We already arrived and government who held this ceremony started even if the ground still wet. But, That our today's proud, why afraid of muddy, isn't it? I guess only my city that got rain yesterday and I hope in many regions on Indonesia had a sunny day to held their flag ceremony (the photo I put is on Java). The only reason why I always come to flag ceremony is to see flag raised and heard a governor's speech. In our place because the ceremony held right after the rain stopped, the weather feels cool and windy. because there was a common happened if the weather feels too hot some of ceremony participant got fainted. After the ceremony, I found a place to eat with my wife and we will go around the city to find any interesting contest held by sub district. I will share about the contest at another post guys. have a nice day

Yes, celebrations like this are usually held in rain or shine. Some parts of it will be held indoors. I hope you and your wife had a good time listening to speeches and watching the contests.
