Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan!

Last year, I wrote a post about how I love the street decorations for Independence Day. This year, I decided to get some for myself!! I've always wanted to buy some to use in a (vague, undetermined) future classroom when I'm teaching Bahasa Indonesia, and so with Cass in tow (for moral support - it turns out she's the best at bargaining by a long shot) I took an angkot to a spot on the side of a road where I'd seen them for sale. End result: ten flagy things and one proper Indonesian flag. I then thought I would put one on my balcony, rather than let them just sit in a bag for the forseable future, but got a bit excited. Now both my housemates have them on their balconies as well!!
