On Education Day, many students performed dances, and a few took part in poetry and speech contests. The focus was not on education in a way understandable by western educators, but the strength of the school community was certainly observable, as well as the students' enthusiasm for performance!
Here I am with some 7th graders who choreographed their own traditional dance and looked amazing in their intricate costumes.
And here I am, half posing - half hiding, with some of my colleagues. 
Taking photos is very popular in Indonesia (particularly when a 'bule' (foreigner) is around). I haven't yet acquired the taste for it, but I am looking to upgrade from my $70 hot-pink point-and-shoot from Walmart, so perhaps it's only a matter of time.
