Anzac day 2015

It's ANZAC Day today here in Australia, where they remember those who have fallen before them in the battlefield, especially in Gallipolli. This day is not only celebrated here in Australia, but also in New Zealand, Turkey (Gallipolli), and many other countries around the world. 

It makes me think about Indonesia's Independence Day. It's a very special day for me, and for other Indonesians, as we remember our national heroes and the struggle our founding fathers went through to declare the independence of our country.

It's a very exciting day, and I've been looking towards that day year after year. This year, I'm excited already for August 17! I've been thinking of ways I can participate in celebrating our 70th Independence Day :)

I love my country. It's not perfect - quite far from it. But every year, as the Independence Day is once again celebrated, a new hope rises. A new spirit that will help us go the extra mile in serving out beloved country; another milestone achieved.

But while it's still 4 months away, I've started to build the momentum towards it today by enjoying a homemade traditional snack, fried banana! SO GOOD! Who knows such simple snack can take you right back home?

Indonesia, oh how I can't wait to see you again in 8 months.

Treat me with your beautiful landscape?

And happy Anzac day to those who are remembering :)

Cheers!
