About this Indonesian Independent Day vlog:
I’ve been waiting all year to visit Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the most underrated countries in the world. I timed my visit so that my first Indonesia travel vlog would be Indonesian Independence Day, aka Hari Kemerdekaan. In this Jakarta vlog, I headed to two spots in the Indonesian capital: Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) and Monas Square.
While in TMII, I was able to see some traditional competitions that occur on Hari Kemerdekaan. Both children and adults played these games. The games in this Indonesia travel vlog include:
- Kelereng Pakai Sendok
- Cantol Caping
- Makan Kerupuk
- Panjat Pinang
The people I met were extremely friendly and fun! I’m looking forward to traveling around Indonesia for the next two months and getting many more travel vlogs!
About Hari Kemerdekaan:
Indonesian Independence Day, or Hari Kemerdekaan, is celebrated on August 17th to honor Indonesia's independence from Dutch colonial rule in 1945. This national holiday is filled with vibrant festivities, traditional games, and patriotic ceremonies nationwide, symbolizing the nation's pride and unity. A key highlight is the Upacara Bendera, a flag-raising ceremony led by the President at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. This moment echoes the spirit of the 1945 Proclamation of Independence by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta. Communities engage in traditional competitions like Panjat Pinang (pole climbing) and balap karung (sack races), which children and families love. These games are entertaining and reflect the collective struggle for freedom. Indonesian Independence Day also honors the nation's heroes, with events dedicated to remembering their sacrifices in the fight against colonialism.

Salah satu acara penting adalah Upacara Bendera yang diadakan di Istana Merdeka Jakarta dan dipimpin oleh Presiden Indonesia.

Permainan ini tidak hanya menghibur tetapi juga mencerminkan perjuangan kolektif untuk meraih kemerdekaan.
