[Buzz Korea] Indonesia Korea Week 2010 - The Most Excitiing Experience I've Ever had

Actually I wanted to share my experience about Korea Indonesia Week 2010 since yesterday, but because my assignments were pretty much i just write it now. Okay let's start reading! Enjoy...

안녕하세요!

Waaa i feel really happy to attend the Korea Indonesia Week 2010 this year. There are lots of fun and exciting events for everyone. The events was organized by The Embassy of the Republic of Korea with the cooperation of Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of culture and Tourism Indonesia for a week starting from October 11 to October 17, 2010 in several different places. Although i didn't attend the entire event, i got a lot of experiences! Curious? Haha now i want to tell my journey about this event. Ah! The Schedule of the events can be seen in a previous post.


Tuesday, October 12, 2010 Indonesia Korea Friendship Sharing Concert 2010

Since the first day's location was to far from my dormitory, me and my friends -Weny, Dila, Ama- decided to come on the second day. That was Indonesia Korea Friendship Sharing Concert 2010 held at the Tennis Indoor Senayan. Actually, we ran out of tickets from the Korean Embassy, i've tried to take the ticket from ARIRANG and TVRI, but we did not get it. Due to information from TVRI if there are outdoor tickets, we tried to come on the D-day.

When we got there, SHINee lovers were ready with all their attributes. Feel a little bit uncomfortable with the outdoor situation, we didn't give up, me and weny looking for loopholes to get into, and finally we could get the indoor tickets! Yippiiii I‟m Really Happy! How lucky we are haha

When we came in, the event has already begun, the first performance was Saman Traditional Dance from Aceh Province. Well, here is the interesting thing, the dance performed by Korean children, they were sooo cute and adorable! The next performance was the Korean traditional dance, but i'm sorry i didn't know what its name, and this time the dance performed by Indonesian children. This is where the cultural exchange is shown.

Then the show continued with songs by Gita Gutawa and The Dance Company. At the peak of the event, the hosts, Adrian (Korea) who wore Batik and Nadya Mulya (Indonesia) who wore korean traditional cloth called Hanbok, announced SHINee's performance! The atmosphere was really really noisy by the screams of SHINee's fans. But their performances were very cool! They sangs 3 songs, Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer and Hello XD

Since i was away from the stage, this is the only picture i could capture. :D


SHINee's Performances

The show was broadcast by TVRI on October 24 at 8pm yesterday. After the show finished, we went home  and get ready for the next more exciting event.

Wednesday, October 13, 2010 Culture Performance by BEAT


Okay, on the second day, we attended the musical performances by BEAT. This might be called a theater show *i don't know for sure what it's called* played by korean artist. Actually this is an invitation event, but once again we were lucky :D

The dresscode was Batik, so we wore batik that day to show the cultural heritage of our country to the korean people. And before the show began, the guests treated with a cup of hot tea and coffee and my favorite chocolate muffins, hey how do you know i love it! :D :D

Time to enter the theater, we chosen a seat in the front row. The event began with speeches, the host who wore beautiful Hanbok read the rundown in two language, Indonesian and Korean. The first speech by Korean Ambassador Mr. Kim Ho Young (김 호 영), he was also giving his speech in Indonesian and the second speech by the representative of The Minister of Culture and Tourism, since Mr. Jero Wacik, the minister, couldn't attend the event. Finally the show began, but i can only tell the outline because they didn't have dialogue, actually just a little dialogue ^^

So here's the story, there are 3 rockers who has orange hair, green hair and black hair. One night, they travel by car but they had an accident and died. Because the car was badly damaged, the car was taken to a repair shop and repaired by 5 mechanic and their boss. But, when the car was being repaired, the rockers spirits came because they don't want the car repaired. So when the car was dismantled by the mechanics, it returned again at the same spot by the rockers spirits when the mechanis didn't see. Finally the mechanics noticed the existence of the rockers spirits and because the mechanic was afraid, the car wasn't repaired and succesfully driven away by the rockers spirits.

What makes this story interesting are the funny and nice players and also the supporting music which is really perfect, everything was really fused. I think i want to watch it again and again haha... Ahh! There is one scene when the mechanic played our national anthem "Indonesia Raya" with steering wheel horn instruments,  very creative! They use the existing tools at garage to play the music. Good good….

After the is over, we take pictures with the players, let's take a look!

So this thursday movie LE GRAND CHEF 2: KIMCHI BATTLE was played, started at 17.30 PM. Because we didn't get a ticket from embassy, we queue in front of the thater an hour before the movie started. But anyway we've actually queue from 16.00 PM to ensure that we got the tickets haha
So the story is about the Korean government held KIMHCI CONTEST to reiterate that Kimchi is a hallmark of Korea.

Saturday-Sunday, Oct 16-17 2010 TASTE OF KOREA FOOD FESTIVAL 맛있는 한국음식 축제
Okay, the fifth day and the fourth event that we attended. In my opinion this event was the most memorable event. Why? We'll see ;)

This time placed in Gandaria Mall.  At saturday, the KOREAN FOOD COOKING CONTEST was start at 13.00 pm and there were 15 contestants. If i could cooking korean cuisine, i would participate, because the grand prize was a trip to Korea for 4 days 4 nights! Wooww!

On saturday i didn't attend the whole event, i was just look at cooking contest which was also attended by Mr. William Wongso, i thought he was one of the judges. After the contest finished we could test the food, unfortunately i missed it :(

Then, on the upper floor, there were ceramic exhibition. Hosted by Korea Ceramic Foundation. All the ceramics was good, beautiful, you won't regret buying it. This exhibition also held a free ceramics making, but only until the ceramic forming process, for the next process like burning and staining, because the burning and staining process can take about a week.


Well, on the last day of Indonesia Korea Week 2010, the schedule was ENJOY KIMCHI that is learning  how to make kimchi for mothers and teenagers. So this is a place for anyone who wants to learn making kimchi. The first session for mothers and the second session for teenagers. Unfortunately i couldn't come to learn, because so many were willing to learn, but that's ok! Tasted the kimchi just enough :D


Because Korea known as a Ginseng Country, it's not complete if we don't taste the original ginseng (인삼) from korea. They provided here free for everyone.
Well, while waiting for the Kimchi, a quiz was held and whoever who can answer the question would get a present. The questions was easy for me because its related to Korea and that's why almost all people raise their hand. I didn't really want to answer, but when the MC asked "What is Ginseng in Korean?" i suddenly open my korean dictionary and raised my hand andthen answered "Insam!" then the MC said "True!!" Waaa i was really happy! And i got 2 boxes of red ginseng :D 내 사전 너무 너무 감사합니다!

Then the show was also presented the Korean traditional dance "Samulnori" and Taekwondo performance from Kyung Min University (경민대학요).


Besides, i also tried making ceramic thaught by the artist, because i was curious how to make it like Kim Beom did in Boys Before Flower Drama (꽃보다남자) haha



Finally the whole event finished, those are my stories and experiences with Indonesia Korea Week 2010 which is very memorable and fun. Hopefully Korea Indonesia Week next year more exciting and great! See you!

Cerpen ini saya dapat dari website Oh My Korean, kalian juga bisa download cerpennya di ohmykorean.com Source :  Oh My Korean Aku sering pergi ke pantai. Ada pantai kalau berjalan 5 menit saja dari rumahku, oleh karena itu setiap ada waktu aku pergi ke pantai untuk berenang atau berjalan-jalan. Di pantai ada kepiting, ada juga kerang. Bintang laut juga ada. Oleh karena itu kadang-kadang aku pergi ke pantai bersama Ibu untuk menangkap kepiting dan kerang. Kemudian, kalau aku menemukan cangkang kerang yang bagus aku mengumpulkannya untuk laci mejaku. Adanya pantai di dekat rumah seperti ini sangat menyenangkan tapi terkadang ada juga hal yang tidak diinginkan.

Aku agak takut karena kepitingnya besar tapi karena takjub aku memperhatikan kepiting i
