West Sumatera Wedding

As a part of my blog theme, I'd like to show you how a West Sumatera wedding looks like.

Yesterday, my niece got married. I took several pictures with my Blackberry. I posted this topic in my beauty blog because I did a review on the make up.

Take a look at the bride and groom's outfit. The bride is wearing different West Sumatera bride outfit, because her mother comes from Koto Gadang district. I should say my niece looked like a Pakistani or Indian bride :)
The man next to her is her husband. He comes from North Sumatera. Too bad I didn't take pictures of his family's outfits

Her hands were dyed with some kind of hyenna. I could not get the picture of her hands.

West Sumatera culture is full of bright colors (read: RED and GOLD).

Here's where bride, groom, and both parents were seated.

Power down in Palembang Aiport! (February 11, 2006 )

It has started! My travelling schedule again...........

On Feb 8, I went to Palembang (it's capital of South Sumatera).

It was so amazing how can they let the power down for 2 hours in this new airport!

Every time I travel, I always hope to get home soon, at least on time. But, you can't rely on the local airlines here.

At first, I could predict that it would be late, as usual. When the plane arrived in the airport (30 minutes late of course) and we were about to boarding, suddenly the power went down.

We waited, and waited....No one cared to explain to passengers about what was happening!!!!

I sighed...............There goes my night! Babies started crying, the gentlements got angry......No airline officers or airport officers in the boarding lounge. What the he_ _ !!! What a bad customer service. I was getting hungry.

If only the plane didn't arrive late, we would have been on our way back to Jakarta then!

The silly thing was, the airport office didn't have a certain answer from the power company, when the power would be on again.

Lots of yelling and shouting from passengers...........Finally, I was home again! Thanks you ALLAH.
