Have you heard the term TATUNG?. At every celebration CAP GO MEH Pontianak in West Kalimantan is always accompanied by the attraction Tatung. Tatung usually show attractions such as their resilience against sharp objects such as standing on the sword, standing on top of a spear or other attraction that is very chilling. Before the event started CAP GO MEH first TATUNG do the religious ritual to bless all kinds of goods and objects that have been provided by the Committee. Thionghoa things for people or goods whether it be food or other objects such as fruits that have been blessed by the TATUNG can bring fortune or luck to have that. Therefore, after the ritual finished goods that have now been in prayer and blessed the TATUNG ago at auction by the committee to the people who want it. At the event CAP GO Meh on 09 February 2009 that was held in the city of West Kalimantan Province Singkawang and witnessed by the tourists and the local community. If this year you can not watch the CAP GO MEH directly, I suggest that next year we can meet here and witness together how the CAP in the GO Meh Kal-Bar.
