The second full day of the trip, this day we woke up at 8 o’clock in the morning because we had to be on school at 9 o’clock. We were a little bit too late, but we were not the last one so the rest of the group was still waiting. When we were waiting for the rest of the group we drunk some water and just talked about the second night.
When we finally were complete we get splitted in two groups, one group was going to play gamelan and the second group was going to learn Balinese dance. First we played a “song” with the Balinese students, the teached us which buttons you had to hit at what moment. When we finished our first song, the Balinese students showed us how to play. So we only had to watch and stare. After there song, we could take our places again. When everybody was ready we played the same song again and when we were finished we did so well, they told us to change a bit more early.
Then we went to the dance room. The dance teacher (a Balinese student also involved in the exchange program) followed her group to the gamelan so there was no teacher! After 15 minutes of doing nothing finally the teacher arrived. Then we finally started to dance, that was the meaning. We learned the dance for man who is very difficult, we couldn’t do the basic steps so the teacher gave up and we were free to stop dancing because we were too bad. After everything on school we went home and some other Dutch students joined us with there Balinese drivers for dinner at our place.
