KYRGYZSTAN 25TH NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION

On Friday December 9th, the Kyrgyz Embassy in cooperation with NCCAL, celebrated the 25th anniversary of  Kyrgyzstan National day with a spectacular show presenting a beautiful blend of traditional and modern music, opera, dance and an amazing feat of gymnastic archery at Abdul Hussein Abdul Reda  theatre in Salmiyah. 

I found the cultural event to be quite fascinating. Here are some photos from the beautiful event.

INDONESIAN DANCE AND MUSIC SHOW

A beautiful Indonesian traditional Dance and Music show was held at Abdul Hussein Abdul Reda theater in Salmiyah, last Friday. The  fascinating dance and music showcased Indonesia's myriad cultural diversity. The last part of the show had an interactive surprise for the audience. We were each given a musical instrument made of bamboo called Anklung and we were guided how to play it. Once we got a grip on playing it, the musician got the entire audience to play few famous songs. It was fun and I could hear an enthusiastic audience absolutely enjoy the musical experience. 

One of the top south east destination for tourists, Indonesia is home to over 17,500 islands and 700 ethnic groups. If you are a travel aficionado, do you have Indonesia on your bucket list?

Now for some photos from the event
