Chinese New Year, Ancol, Jakarta - Dragon Boats

[EN] I was hoping to see dragon boat race just like the one they have in Singapore, but this was the first time Ancol held such event, so I shouldn’t have expected it to be like the one in Singapore. But it has to start some time, and there is always no better time than now.

They had to make it a fun event first, so they invited some celebrities (one of them is Nycta Gina – see next post). They seem to be sponsored by TransTV. The celebrities were sitted at the front of the boats supposedly handling the drum.

[ID] Saya berharap untuk melihat balapan perahu naga seperti yang di Singapura, tetapi ini adalah pertama kali Ancol mengadakan acara ini, jadi saya mestinya tidak berharap akan melihat race yang seperti di Singapura. Tetapi memang harus dimulai dan untuk memulai tidak ada waktu yang lebih baik daripada sekarang.

Acara tersebut perlu dibuat fun lebih dahulu, jadi mereka mendatangkan selebriti (salah satunya adalah Nycta Gina – lihat post berikut ini). Sepertinya mereka disponsori oleh TransTV. Selebriti-selebriti tersebut duduk dibagian depan perahu naga untuk berpura-pura menabuh genderang.
