Lets go play Dad
Food Festival with Kite Parade at the backgroundA village festival. What would it possibly be? Traditional dance? Children play traditional games? Some old ladies sit down and make batik? Or village’s authentic recipe? Well, probably we would find it at the "real" village. But in Sanur, one of the magnificent beach in the world, I may say village festival is a modern event with a mixture of eastern culture and western taste. Held for the third time, Sanur Village Festival 2008 took place at Segara beach Sanur from August 6th to 10th 2008. There’s plenty of interesting itinerary to be joined including Food Festival (Yumm.. yumm!), Cycling Tour, Fine Art Exhibition, Photo Contest, Kite and Wind Surfing Parade, Surfing Competition, Golf Tournament, Jukung (Traditional Boat) Parade, Coral Plantation, Mass Yoga, and Jazz & Cultural Shows. From those choices, what interest me the most is Food Festival. As the event joined by 23 well known restaurants around Sanur which provide their famous menus with half price (including the 5 star hotels chef's menu!). Yummmm..
Looking for a perfect saturday afternoon’s lunch, I came with my friends on 11 am. There were so many choices. Russian, Indian, Italian, Japanese, even Padang food, you name it they have it. Finally I
Plenty of choices
23 restaurants on food festival choose Fish and Chip from my favorite Irish restaurant in Sanur, Cat and Fiddle. That afternoon, there were many peoples using Rugby outfit, came to the food festival. We were confused to see them, as we thought the Olympic is held at Beijing isn't it? 😉 We've just realized that they are Rugby teams who just joined Rugby Match on the other part of the festival.
Finished our lunch, we went to the next itinerary, Kite and Wind Surfing Parade. The group contestants came from different ages. Each group consisted of 5 to 15 participants who brought gigantic kites to the Parade. It was exciting watching them. They brought funny merchandise such as clothes with same color, flags, even traditional music instrument such as Gamelan and Gong to keep their spirit strong. There were different classes of kites, such as fish kite, long tailed kite and also freestyle kite. The highest kite with longest flying period is the winner.

Hi Lorin I enjoyed your report on the Sanur village festival. I currently live in Sanur and visited the festival a few times. I also enjoyed the food and particularly liked the kites - especially at night. You should return for the Sanur International Kite Festival next year. This year's festival (held in July) was amazing. Keep up the good work - your photos are terrific. Kym
