Kites
Competition
 TABANAN—The
panoramic landscape of the Tanah
Lot tourist object was even more
eye-catching recently when the sky
over this exotic tourist object
was embellished by a colorful mixture
of kites for two days (12-14 September).
There were at least 397 kites representing
traditional styles (janggan, pecukan
and bebean) and creation style kites
which flew over the spreading verdant
rice field. The event allowed local
kite-flyers, especially the flyers
of creation style kites, to show
off their creative skills as well
as their expertise in control of
their kites. There were also kite-flyers
from the Netherlands and Malaysia
who cheerfully participated. They
enthusiastically joined the Tanah
Lot Kites Festival 2008 event which
is organized annually. (BTN/015)
