Sometimes getting off the beaten path takes only a five-minute taxi ride. Our fixer on Lombok, Mr Ragil, took us to his village outside Mataram. Apparently, the way to celebrate independence day in Indonesia is to have a whopping children’s parade. We were given the best seats in the house, a box full of candy and glorious photo opportunities. I also got to dance with the Village headman and the local military commander. I totally upstaged them.
The afternoon sun was very kind to our camera, so feel free to click through this nice gallery.
