Ogoh-Ogoh


happy kids
Here they are.......
traditional ride!
After having a culinary trip, we did not want to go home, yet. Instead, we wanted to circle about the small town of Ngadiluwih. Actually, the kids did not want to go home, yet. We were heading towards the narrow street of Tamtama area where numerous street vendors dazzlingly trying to sell their stuffs were visible. It is apparent that the competitive life is hard here. Everyone should make the best to meet ends. One of the things that caught my kids attention was ogoh-ogoh. It is a pedal-driven ferries-wheel except that it does not rotate like any ferries wheel does. It just goes up and down and made a tiny circle on the spot. No electricity is necessary for this ride. Even, we do not need to insert a coin or swipe any card to start the ride. All of these are done manually by a person at the back of the motor-bike looking vehicle. It is a famously cheap entertainment in most kampong or village or any other laid-back villages across Java. I do not know whether they have in on other parts of the country.
Eyra, Freya, and Lala were all happy riding the ride. It is cheap. It was only IDR 4,000 or US$0.5 for 3 persons  for 3 times ride. The striking characteristic of this ride is the children music or song that is accompanying the kids while the ride is on.
