WORLD OF NADA

If I didn't join the dance festival this year, I wouldn't have known, or even heard about Cáceres. This walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I was pretty excited knowing the city is also gastronomy capital of Spain, but I think I didn't experience it much. 

Plaza Mayor is my favourite area in the city. It has many decent restaurants and leads you to the walled area, so you'll get the best of both worlds. 

The next day, it was Indonesia Independence Day. While waiting for the bus, we celebrated in our own way. We made our own ceremony, raised the flag, and sang the national anthem.

Then it was time to say goodbye. Some of us went back home while some still continued the journey to Sevilla. It was a teary moment for everybody but I couldn't cry at that time. I couldn't believe I could make this kind of trip to happen again that I met these great people and had another lifetime experience. Suddenly, again, I'm looking for another trip and hopefully I will have another chance.

As usual, we were already tired when we arrived at the uni. We just arrived at 3am. But when we had dinner earlier that day, México invited us to join their small farewell party at the uni entrance hall. Some of them would leave earlier in the morning and they wouldn't come back after they finished their last performance so we might not see them again.

They had not come back when we arrived so we waited for them. Only me, my friends Adam and Anien from our group who joined the party. The party was very intimate. There was México on this side and Chile on the other. They were very welcome and offering us drinks, they got plenty of them. The Mexican was singing and playing the music, and the songs were very beautiful. Some of them cried and hugged each other. I really could feel their togetherness. I didn't realise it was 5am already and I decided to go back to my room and sleep since I still had one very last performance to do.

We were back performing again. This time we performed with México in Villanueva de la Serena. Well, nothing special. Our performance is just like any other day. But México and us really supported each other when we did our performance.
