Recently our friends Dan and Tery introduced us to The Best Game EVER!!  Australian Rules Football or Footy for short.  Dan plays for the Jakarta Bintangs (that’s Indonesian for beer mate).  This club, made up primarily of ex-pats, not only plays the game but mentors and sponsors boys from a local orphanage giving them an opportunity to play and travel that they wouldn’t otherwise have.

On this weekend, the Jakarta Bintangs were up against the Vietnam Swans and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the game.

The game is a fast paced with elements of soccer and American football.

And the Bintangs win!!!

 

Then it was time for some beer and proper sausages.

A great day for everyone.
