The driver helped us dressing properly in sarongs and we joined him and around 1.000 locals in a huge ceremony with music, performances, offerings and celebration. The driver did his best to explain everything for us, and acted as translator between the local boys and our son. All locals dressed in traditional clothing, women bringing offerings carried on their heads, children performing dances – and us in between all of this. Wow!
