A handful of photos from the Indonesian festival in Melbourne in October. Spent a beautifully sunny weekend being surrounded by vibrant costumes, familiar sounds, friendly faces, and (most importantly!) comfort food that takes me back to my childhood. Comfort is the word.

These are so great!
I love the atmosphere as it reflects from the photos. Especially from the 3rd one. Beautiful photos!

Comfort is most definitely the word. I don't know if I'd ever be able to live anywhere other than South Africa.
