Reog Ponorogo
Saturday, 27 December 2008Madiun, Indonesia
This Saturday began with a so-called Arisan event, which is a family gathering.
Later in the evening, when Arisan was over, a few of us drove the short trip to Ponorogo, where a week-long festival to mark the Javanese New Year was held. There was a big market and an amusement park, but more interesting was the Reog Ponorogo show. Entrance ticket was only Rp 3000 (30 cents US).
