In our culture known for a ritual known as selametan, which is a celebration event for an activity or event. Rituals can be tujuhbelasan committee closure, increase in class, child birth, harvest, marriage, just so many events in our cultural context which closed this selametan event.
Was not a monopoly Selametan eastern nations like us but is very universal. The Western world also know the kind, for example thanksgiving. So a fairness when the yacht was, we know the crew selametan called party. Within a year we hold a crew party a lot, starting from its independence day Americans, the Philippines, the dewek, londo queen's birthday, queen's birthday David Beckham, taon renewal, welcome goodbye caribbea alaska (and vice versa), or goodbye Europe welcome caribbea (also vice versa), pass the test results of health department inspections America (USPH) and many other selametan. Just party, party and party!
This event is usually held in messroom crew, which is where the crew ate the same kongkow-kongkow. Sometimes the front deck mooring can be used as an alternative place. This place is actually a place rolled up the hawser segede Rante elephant's trunk and anchor the ship. The event starts from eleven sampe malem two in the morning, what the hell we had to work the next morning early. Important feast!
Food and drinks were served at the table. The food served there is usually fried rice, fried noodles, chicken wing, kalby beef, roast pork, bread Philippines, shrimp crackers and many other snacks that make chubby cheeks. Digelontorin drinks at a party not far from the softdrink, beer at liqour (usually vodka, whiskey, gin and rum), enough for my head until morning kliyengan deh!
Teng eleven, the music was placed kenceng, JEDANG jedung! Bikin bottoms as head gatel pengen invited rocking. Selametan begins! Cuap-cuap steering committee did not really diperhatiin, abis more focused attention to the contents of the stomach at his drink and girls who inceran hopefully be invited one night stand. At least when the captain said a two-broken she said, just our little bit ngiyem. Later deemed not know myself. Little jaim why!
The crew began to gather, both men, women and "not a man not a woman". All tumplek tin in the meal, drink the same shake. Actually used makeup not regulated. So more towards casual, but many are still in uniform, especially children who are long diningroom hours. There is also a group who dressed like pragawati the kesambet, stir abis! Make nyokap reply bokapnya chest ngelus know this child's behavior. This group usually known by the crew of sexual orientation is not obvious, namely that the group is not a man or woman is also not known by the name of Binan / bitch. Best of most of them are Indonesian!
The character of each nation obvious. Bule same group of Filipino crew more gathered in counter drinks, only a few people join us here. Indonesian groups more often a spectator in this invitation even though there is also a part dissolved. More people we sit with her denger sweet music and enjoy the food. Filipino group close to the counter in addition to drinks, too close to where the food, so no wonder their bodies are more tranquil than our people.
It should be recognized that our nation is sometimes considered to be shy in the middle of an international group. Actually this is more to our culture that makes us less able to asertive in intercultural communication. According to the theory of communication, especially in the context of our eastern categorized into high-level context, which means in communication, our nation is more demanding speaker we better understand the things that non-verbal. Meanwhile, more northern nations leading to low-level context, which means more demanding verbal communication with the other.
The night grew late, the music was sometimes kenceng sometimes slow. The present head grew heavy even-deket deket to inclined. Funny thing kalo pas slow music, female crew fight to be invited to dance, knowing the comparison is not balanced. Kalo dapet lucky, okay to hug hug because dempetan body. After that, depending on your kelihayan in speech so that the girl or the Philippines Hooh Caucasians only when the party broke into the room invited us or even those who ngajak to his room.
At two tank, which was over selametan marked by a halt to the music and turned on the lights. The remaining live trash strewn everywhere. With unsteady steps the crew returned to their cabin, unless they are lucky dapet couples. One party is over and tomorrow morning we should start with a routine again. A little sleep is bad to reduce the head weight for the influence of alcohol are consumed. Relax, there are many other parties waiting in the days ahead. When the night was not lucky dapet couples, it is not impossible turn to your next party.
