You know what day today is? It’s the kite competition day in the village where I live in. You know what that means?

Yep, hundreds of people coming swarming the street, arrogantly blocking the street both sides to walk and carry their kite. I wrote once about how arrogant Balinese can be.

I bet there’s an easier way to transport that damned humongous-sized kites, USE TRUCKS. No commotion, easy as that. Fuckers.

This is happening as I type this, right now. They’re sitting on the road for no obvious reason, yelling like monkeys, blocking roads causing a traffic deadlock. This is Jalan Raya Tanah Lot they’re blocking, the main road that goes to the Tanah Lot beach, pretty huge one if you must ask.

I’ve been out taking these pictures and trying to figure out what they do other than causing problems, I’m curious what’s on their mind. Maybe this is what they call having fun?

For the last time, USE TRUCKS TO CARRY YOUR KITES!

Update: oh yeah Life Failed People is the right sign for ya.

    hahaha … this was just one of many example why most Balinese people is arogant. Whatever they do, they always end up taking half ( if not all ) the street, causing traffic jam. Yet they keep cool about it and pretend that nothing happen. FUCKER

    Love your blog post! and you know Kite is not a kid’s toy here, not only they’re serious with organizing an annual kite festival, but you should really see how they treat a giant kite for instant : they throw a special blessing ceremony on it…amazzz…ing! Hey, check out also my latest blog post where @bartcatapult captured some great shots on Kite Festival in sanur here http://www.beeamazing.com/sanur-village-festival-12-16-august-2009/
