69th INDONESIA Independence Day at Batui - Luwuk, Central Sulawesi

Yay...
Today is Aug 17th, 2014
Which is its 69th Indonesia Independence Day.

Actually I didn't have any plan to celebrate this day.
There's nothing special since that day is in Sunday. haha..
The main plan was my office mates and I would like to have lunch in our local office mate's house.
On the way to have lunch, we saw a decorated car, then realized that there will be such a Carnival for celebrating 69th Indonesia Independence Day.

Decoration Car whom I saw on my way.
Taken Place : Batui, Luwuk - Central Sulawesi

Me suddenly excited not to miss this event.
I asked my local office mate about this event, He told me to go to Tolando Square in Batui where the Carnival held.
After having lunch, my office mates and I straightly went to the Square to watch and enjoy this Carnival.
