Several days ago I finished my Korean-Indonesian folktale titled “Jiknyeo Kyeonwu”. It tells about two lovers which separated by the king. And they only can be together one day on 7th of 7th month. All of Korean named the day of chilseok. They also celebrate it by some events of Chilseok Festival. This festival also same with Qi Xu festival in China and Tanabata Festival in Japan. When I was looking for some referential source, I found that Chilseok festival has special food, tradition, and pray from the ancestors. One thing that I contemplate is why I can get so much interest with Korean cultures better than my country, Indonesia. I never write something about Indonesian culture. Even though I was born in Lampung, I can't tell about Lampung tradition. I just know from the superficial, a bit and a bit. I can't make it as full article. I also never attend the original event of Lampunese. I know the language, uniform custom, dance, song, and the sociality life. But once again, I can't make it as an article. I don't have courage to make it. And I never try it. Indonesia also has a lot of tradition because this country has more than 3 thousands ethnics. And every ethnics have their own culture. Between west, middle, and east of Indonesia have various culture. I hope I can get more braveness to search and share Indonesian culture. This will be not easy I guess. But it's no problem for me. Because I can learn for something which is out of my major.
