Karsiyaka Children Festival

One year ago, my school was chosen to be delegation of Indonesia in Karsiyaka Children Festival in Turkey .Our school was showing traditional dance and music there are 5 dance,  5 music, 20 dancer, 10 musician and 5 committee from Indonesia. To get to the city of Karsiyaka we must have a 16 hours trip and transit 2 times in Singapore and Istanbul then we go by a local airplane to Karsiyaka. After we arrived at Karsiyaka we go to one of their local Senior High School and meet our host family. My host family has 2 children named Sela 15 years old and Enes 13 years old and they are so kind and care to me.

                Our second day in Karsiyaka we was visit my host family school, it’s not far from my host family house. the school was big and clean there are 3 floor building and it already has class for kindergarten, elementary and junior high school, we was spending a week in Karsiyaka to show traditional dance and music from Indonesia with delegation from another country. But from many delegation only India and Indonesia which is delegation from Asia and the rest is from Europe.

                After a week in Karsiyaka we was leaving for a trip to Istanbul. We leave Karsiyaka at 5 am and then we go to Istanbul at 8 am and then we spent 3 days in Istanbul before we go back to Indonesia. It was unforgettable journey because i can meet many people from another country and have a new experience!
