On Wednesday August 17th 2022, I biked into the middle of Jakarta at Kota Tua. Everywhere around the city, roads were blocked off from cars and motorbikes, reserved only for pedestrians in the community. Fresh paint was laid out on the street to set up the games area. Competitions were fierce all day, with some fun and wacky games thrown in. Starting in schools in the morning (yes, weird how schools must open on a national holiday), the celebrations went far into the evening. I went to the most popular place in Jakarta to see if the festivities there matched the village festivities.
