Taman Proklamasi, Jakarta Pusat

It was such a crazy idea, because i never drive to the city myself. I don't know what i was thinking, i just know that there's really nothing to lose if you join a movement such as this. And it is certainly better than sitting around in your house doing nothing, or hang out at the mall. 

I really didn't know what to expect, our cool biology teacher said there will be music performances, candles, etc. It was exactly that, but it felt so much better than it sounds. 

It was a rainy night and the mood was amazing. Everyone is excited about this, they truly care. The floor was wet and reflective of the light that came from the lanterns. They play nation's song so we could all sing a long and also felt the love we have for our country. 

When it was switched off, it was so much better. Everybody gathered up in a circle and lifted their candle up high and we all sang along. The flickering lights of the candle made it all so beautiful. You have to be there to really feel it.
