Sinterklaas Arrives in Jakarta


Sinterklaas came early this year to Jakarta, on November 18 he set foot on Jakarta land. The whole thing was held at ISCI (International Club) and organized by the NIS ( Dutch School).



Needless to say that all the kids were very nervous in anticipation of the arrival of the old bearded man and his black helpers.
Noah told me in advance that this year he was going to shake Sint's hand this year to get more pepernoten (candy) and he did....

Sinterklaas will also visit the kids at the NIS next week and will stay in the country until his birthday on December 5th. Until then kids can put their shoe out at night and if they have been good, they may find a present in their shoe the next morning.
Unfortunately Ayla and Sue couldn't be there because of a birthday party of one of Ayla's friends.

Hoi Jur en Sue,

Leuk die site en leuk iets van jullie te lezen en te zien. Ik zal af en toe ff checken op nieuws.
Ik snal het niet hoor, hoe die Sint dat toch doet: op 1 dag zowel in NL als in Djakarta aankomen, zal het wel nooit snappen. Maar bij ons kwam hij in een iets groter bootje!!
Groetjes

JF
