The children making Ages Biola laugh asking him for Aniek and my phone numbers!
This is definitely not Betawi’s Costume… it’s Papuan… and for the girls maybe Ambonese or could also be an ethnic in Sulawesi.
Betawi’s costumes and dances are the ones that you saw at Abang and None Jakarta Contest.
Sorry for the late reply Dahlia and thank you so much for correcting my mistake… I was a little confused but you have clarified all for me.. Either way, the children looked amazing and it was another magical day in Jakarta!
Wishing you happiness always in Jakarta 🙂
