This Chinese images is not is Cibubur city area, i took this pictures at Citraland mall where the area is in West Jakarta , the area of China town. The Chinese new year atmosphere has been open in the air through the mall aver last 2 week before Imlek. I did not take the image of Imlek at Cibubur Juction ( CJ) since it is not quite unique enough. It is ordinary. At Citraland mall this year, the celebration theme is The Indonesian Chinese Heritage . It brings the the big theme of the Indonesian Tiong Hoa Community with all the problems, the hope and the dreams for the future as the part of Indonesian community. In spite of the all ordinary things and even quite cliches about Tiong hoa, but this celebration theme ,they show is quite up to dated for this current situation that Tionghoa or Indonesian Chinese is not the outsiders , they are trully the unseparated part of Indonesian community from the beginning when this country founded by our founding fathers.
I think this year is the peak of Chinese new year celebration since 1998. Indonesian Tionghoa community, i think must be grateful for President Gus Dur. He is the one who make all this things happen !
