Melbourne Street Festival (Kartini's Day) 2012

Kartini's day is a day where Indonesia celebrate the birth day of Kartini, Indonesia's emancipation heroine. The celebration is held every 21st of April.

In Melbourne, Kartini's day is celebrated in a different manner like in Indonesia. 29 April 2012 was hold Indonesia Street Festival. The event was held in Queen Victoria market, Melbourne.

How to understand a culture in an quick way? By a culinary experience.

Stands sell foods like sate, Empek-empek and beverages like Teh Tarik.

Visitors seems very exited with sate by the Indonesia Moslem Community Victoria, lots of people queue to get their order.

There were also other fellow southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and Singapore presenting Nasi Lemak and Chicken Rice.


Theres also a live performance on stage. When I first arrived, the sound mixer was playing Mulan Jameela :p
When somebody does a performance, he sang an english pop song.

When I was walking around, I saw a advertisement of Indonesia Satay Festival for couple of weeks ahead.

Well, you just wait for the coverage from me. :)
