CELEBRATING GALUNGAN DAY IN MIAMI USA

CELEBRATING GALUNGAN DAY IN MIAMI USA


Galungan is an important festival in Bali, celebrated by Hindus. It symbolizes the battle between good (Dharma) and evil (Adharma). Galungan is a time to honor ancestors and uphold moral values. During the festival, special Balinese dishes are prepared, prayers are offered, and homes are decorated with penjor, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Galungan fosters social bonding and emphasizes the importance of traditions and values in daily life.

As Balinese children living abroad, we celebrate the Galungan festival in the city of Miami, United States. Despite being far from our homeland, we continue to uphold our traditions and culture by commemorating this meaningful celebration. As overseas children, we feel it is crucial to preserve our traditions and celebrate Galungan with enthusiasm. Together, we collaborate to prepare all the necessary items for the celebration. We go shopping to buy ingredients for Balinese dishes, such as lawar, babi kecap, sate lilit, and various other delicious delicacies. These traditional Balinese foods have distinctive flavors and are an integral part of Galungan celebrations.
 
Additionally, we purchase ceremonial items, including flowers, incense, and fresh fruits, for the prayer rituals. We also work together to create event decorations, such as crafting small penjor (decorative bamboo poles) and weaving coconut palm fronds that we personally gather in front of our homes. The process of creating these decorations not only strengthens our bond as a community but also adds warmth and beauty to our celebration.

On the highly anticipated day, we begin our preparations in the morning. Everyone who is available lends a hand with enthusiasm, from decorating and cooking dishes to all other necessary arrangements. We work while joking and chatting, creating an atmosphere full of joy. We also invite some of our American colleagues to join our celebration and introduce them to Balinese culture. They eagerly don Balinese traditional attire and participate in the communal prayer with us. Experiencing the warmth of camaraderie and the uniqueness of Balinese culture amidst our American friends is truly impressive.


At 9 p.m., we gather to perform the joint prayer ceremony. With utmost solemnity and devotion, we honor our ancestors and pray together. After the prayer, we capture this moment through a group photo session and begin indulging in the lovingly prepared traditional Balinese dishes. The event continues with cheerfulness and joy. We engage in conversations, play games, and enjoy drinks together. The night grows late, but our spirit and togetherness remain ablaze.


Celebrating Galungan in Miami has become an unforgettable experience. Apart from uniting us as overseas children, this celebration also provides us with an opportunity to introduce Balinese culture to our American friends. All of this teaches us the importance of preserving and appreciating our traditions while fostering cross-cultural brotherhood. 
I hope our story can inspire and remind everyone about the significance of upholding and celebrating our traditions, wherever we may be. Until we meet again in the next Galungan celebration!






 

ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF MIAMI BEACH IN THE EVENING

ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF MIAMI BEACH IN THE EVENING
WITH ELECTRIC SKATEBOARDS


    Hello, everyone! I want to share our exciting experience in Miami as we enjoyed the beauty of Miami Beach in the evening. Together with my friends, Miko and Jeanz, we decided to explore this stunning beach using electric skateboards. The three of us were interns at St Regis Balharbour Miami, and on that day, we had the same free time from our busy work schedule. We decided to make the most of it by embarking on an adventure and immersing ourselves in the natural beauty offered by Miami Beach.


With electric skateboards, we glided along the beach. The fresh air and ocean breeze greeted us as we joyfully rode along. The beach views and the mesmerizing sunset scenery captivated us. We could feel the soft white sand beneath our feet as we strolled along the shoreline. The clear blue sky and pristine waters created a breathtaking backdrop. While taking in the beautiful scenery, we also enjoyed the thrill of cruising on our electric skateboards along the coast. Throughout our journey, we didn't miss the chance to capture beautiful photos as lasting memories.

The presence of towering buildings near the beach added a modern touch and unique charm to the landscape. These magnificent towers became an inseparable part of the captivating panorama of Miami Beach. As the day transitioned into darkness, we decided to conclude our adventure and head back home. However, the beautiful memories remained etched in our hearts. This experience taught us the importance of appreciating the beauty of nature, spending quality time with friends, and creating precious moments in life.
Enjoying the beauty of Miami Beach in the evening with electric skateboards was a delightful and memorable experience. It made us realize the significance of taking the time to explore new places and appreciate the natural wonders that surround us. We hope our story inspires you to venture out and embrace the beauty of nature in your own surroundings, creating wonderful memories with your loved ones. Until our next adventure!

WATCHING POST-MALONE'S "RUNAWAY TOUR" IN MIAMI, FLORIDA

Hey everyone! On October 20, 2019, I had the incredible opportunity to attend Post Malone's "Runaway Tour" concert in the beautiful city of Miami, Florida. This concert was not an ordinary event for me; it was my first concert experience. As a dedicated Post Malone fan, this moment was really special for me.

I decided to go with friends who shared the same love for Post Malone's music. The concert started with an electrifying performance by Tyler Yaweh and Swae Lee who set the stage on fire at American Airlines Studios. Dazzling lights, roaring music and passionate fans created a truly unique atmosphere for this concert.


After an amazing opening, it was time for Post Malone to take the stage. And that's where the real experience began. From start to finish, Post Malone's mesmerizing voice and catchy beat captured our hearts. All our favorite songs like 'Rockstar', 'Circles' and 'Sunflower' was performed with utmost passion and we sang along with pure enthusiasm. During the concert, we felt a huge sense of togetherness and joy. Screams, shouts and laughter filled the air. In that moment, the worries and the burden of life disappeared. There was only freedom and happiness in the air.


One thing I will never forget is the phenomenal stage production. Stunning lights, amazing visual effects and awe-inspiring stage settings added magic to the entire show. Every second was full of energy and life.
I felt extremely proud and honored to be a part of this experience. Although I had to pay $80 for the ticket, it was a worthwhile investment. Post Malone's "Runaway Tour" brought happiness, inspiration and unforgettable memories. Thanks for reading about my unforgettable experience at the Post Malone concert in Miami.
