Ice sculpture on display

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Military Command Chief Maj. Gen.
Sutiyoso opened Saturday an ice sculpture exhibition in the
eastern parking lot of Senayan stadium in Central Jakarta.

The exhibition, called the Harbin International Ice Show, will
be open to the public for three months. On display are the works
by some 25 Indonesian and Chinese ice sculptors.

"This exhibition shows a cultural harmony between the two
countries," Sutiyoso said at the opening ceremony.

Meanwhile, Fenny Natalia from PT Idola Keluarga Utama, chief
sponsor of the event, said the committee is using some equipment
made in China, including a machine to make artificial snow.

"The exhibition speaks volumes for the great ability of
Indonesian ice sculptors despite the fact that, being a tropical
country, there is no snow here," Fenny remarked. (jun)
