Sunda Wedding

This weekend I went with my friend to a wedding reception. The newlywed couple are from the Sunda ethnic group, and so it was a great cultural experience. During my time at the wedding I was able to meet and talk with the student body president of ITB, which is the top engineering and science university in Indonesia. He's the one in the green shirt on the far left. Another interesting cultural observation: Indonesians don't smile for wedding pictures. Kinda makes me stand out in the first picture as the odd one who actually looks happy to be there!
