We were invited to be a part of Banyuwangi Ethno Carnival (mentioned in the Thanksgiving 2014 post) again this year- but while last year we were VIP observers, this year we got dressed up as Traditional Gandrung dancers and walked down the runway and danced in the parade. I guess we’ve really gotten used to being in the spotlight here because we had a lot of fun leading a bunch of Scandinavian and German business students down the red carpet in front of a couple thousand spectators! (At least we knew what we were getting into, those poor things had no idea!)
Of course Craig ended up in on the front page of the newspaper entertainment section. And I got to meet my favorite celebrity singers from Banyuwangi: Suliyana and Wandra! We also got some time backstage to talk to them about stopping by our IGLOW-IBRO youth camp to talk to the kids!
It was a long day and pretty tiring, but it was fun to get dressed up and act famous for a day. Enjoy the photos!
