Hot air balloon
Hello,
Early in the morning, at 6:00 am, we went to the backyard of the Old Parliament Building. Today is the last day of the balloon spectacular to celebrate the Canberra Festival 2011.
However, the weather is not good, so there isn't any balloon flying today.
We can see the air force team prepared the hot air balloon. It is not easy to prepare the hot air balloon. It needs a lot of efforts!
We can go inside the balloon!
We also enjoyed the beautiful rose garden and the musical performance

Dragon boat racing
Hi,
Do you know that the National Gallery of Australia is facing back the Lake Burley Griffin? When Trinh, Phuong and I were drawing in the garden of the National Gallery of Australia, my mom told me that she heard people cheered, so she run half of the lake. She saw dragon boat racing on the other side of the lake! It was almost over, but she still could catch some pictures.
There are 20 paddlers in pairs, 1 drummer or caller, and 1 sweep (a steerer) at the rear of the boat.
The drummer leads the paddlers throughout a race using the rhythmic drum beat to indicate the frequency and synchronicity of all the paddlers' strokes.
The start and finish place
When the race is over, the crew takes the drum and the dragon off the boat.
Go... go... paddlers! Go .... go .... dragon boat!

Chinese New Year
Hello,
In the beginning of February, Tante Ririn, Andra and me had a chance to see a dragon dance in front of the Chinese stores in Dickson. It was very short, but very interesting. It was so colorful, but the music was too loud for me.
Hey, I took all the pictures by myself. My mom taught me how to take a picture using her pocket camera. Mommy, you almost forgot to upload the pictures! The Chinese new year has already left!!!

Floriade 3
Hello,
This afternoon we went to Floriade again. Actually, this was the first time Budhe Iwu and Tante Alfa had time to visit Floriade. We watched Indonesian dance and song performance on a stage at Floriade.
The first performance was Sajojo dance from Papua, followed by a folk song from Papua. The rythm was so funky! I like it!
The second performance was Nuansaku dance. It was created by I Gede Aria and it was performed the first time at Floriade 2010! The dance was about the beautiful flowers at Floriade. The music was so unique. It was a mix between Balinese and Javanese. Cool!
The third was a medley of ten folk songs from west to east of Indonesia. They called it Indonesia mini. They sang Sinanggar Tulo, Soleram, Kicir-kicir, Gambang Suling, Paris Barantai ... and Yamko Rambe Yamko. Cool!
The forth was Cendrawasih dance. The three dancers here were mothers! One of them is Mbak Ririn, Budhe Iwu's oldest daughter. It was about Cendrawasih, the beautiful paradise bird from Papua. Beautiful!
The fifth was Rancak dance from Sumatra. It was about pencak silat, a traditional Indonesian martial art. Cool!
The Indonesian dance and song performance were splendid! After watching the performance, we took pictures of flowers again.
It was raining when we were about to go home. We had to wait until the rain stopped. Finally, the weather was nice again. We saw black swans were swimming in the lake. "Mommy, I want you to take a picture of me and that swans!"
On the way home, we saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. "Mommy, look! Beautiful rainbow! ROYGBIV!"
I really had a good time today! I love the sandwich that my mom made for me. I also like fish and chips that we had at O'Connor. I love the flowers at Floriade and I like the performance! Alhamdulillah. Thank you, Budhe!
