When I was a child, I always waited for Independence Day. My father used to ask me to watch a parade together. We saw it from our front yard. I remember how attractive the parade was. In the first line of the parade, I saw the people dressed up uniquely. Some people wore Indonesian heroes’ costumes. Some others dressed like local ghosts. They were scary but they were funny, too. Next, I remembered that a lot of people marched in the second line. They waved a mini Indonesian Flag. They walked around the village and sang the ‘Hari Merdeka’ song. Their singing was accompanied by traditional instruments like angklung, suling, and rebana. At last, I also saw that many children rode their bicycles in the parade.
