Even though Indonesia's independence day, which is August 17, has passed a few days ago. But the meaning of Indonesian independence is still felt by the Indonesian community. Where each region still carries out various competitions for the 17th August celebration. Every August 17 celebration, the Indonesian people carry out the areca climbing competition, sack race, tug of war and many other games that are always held. Even though the game is not a compulsory thing, but it has come down from the ancestors.

The competition that I mentioned above is not only followed by adults. Do not miss small children and mothers were so enthusiastic in enlivening all the activities. Indeed, contested prizes are not expensive. They did not judge the prize, but they still had a strong sense of nationalism, so they participated in all activities.

Add-on games are followed by 2 teams and usually for 1 squad of at least 5 people or more, according to the rules of the committee that make and pull the mine into a classic game. The team that won the tug of war contest, the strongest team. That is to say the long rope is divided in length between the two teams, in the middle of the rope tied the sign. If 1 team pulls and crosses the line, the team will be the champion.

Other competitions that take part in the audience's attention and are full of challenges, namely the long betel race. Even though the name is the long betel race, but the betel tree can be replaced with a banana tree or another tree. Never think this game is easy, even the long betel race is difficult and exciting. Because in the betel tree, it is smeared with lubricant or oil. When people rise they will continue to fall.
