Christmas Holiday in Sidoarjo

It had been almost 2 years since our last visit to the city.
Last time we had a family picture taking, and we should wear traditional costumes. It was quite special of course, since it was a rare occasion.

And on the recent visit, twice visit of my son, voshan, it had been quite special all the same.
Why is that? Because voshan was baptised on one week before christmas. Here are some pictures taken of the occasion.

Obviously my son is quite hard to handle. Very difficult for us to keep him sit or stand still. But we had no other choice, hadn't we? :p
Well, it passed anyway, and he was baptised finally..:)


The christmas celebration was special also, since my husband's families were all gathered and so quite something else than usual. I mean, if we celebrate it home in Jakarta, probably only among our small family. But in Sidoarjo, we can meet many relatives and have a different kind of way in celebrating the holy day.

One thing that I liked in the trip was when I got a chance to try the most delicious rawon I have ever tasted..hmmm...yummy... The rawon had a very tasty curry and very soft meats..very very recommended if you have a chance to visit Surabaya area some day..

We also tried to take a look at the Sidoarjo muds, but could not get very near. But we could see the emergency house for the refugees..and it was quite devastating. Well, hope it will not get any worse and nobody will get hurt anymore because of it.
