Meet the Asmats!






Yeah, this is not the movie titled "Meet the Spartans", but the other movie.
Instead of going all the way to Papua to visit the Asmat tribesmen in their village, I took a glimpse of a whole troop in La Piazza, Kelapa Gading, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Of course they were not here to battle anybody, but to introduce the precious heritage of Asmat art and culture to the 'modern' people in Jakarta (Asmat Culture Festival 2008), and now, via YouTube, the whole world.
Too bad I wasn't recording when they did their war dance!
Now everybody, do the Asmat! - BJ Vadis
