(Green and Peace interviewer :Aki I)
オーガナイザーさんからこのサイトにむけてこのようなメッセージを送ってくれました。参加される皆さんは、まだまだいろいろな情報がほしいと思います。私も子供を連れてこのフェスティバルに参加しようと準備していますので、いろいろな情報を集めているところです。インドネシアでテロが発生したこともあって、安全面がとても気になります。今は毎日バックパックとにらめっこしてどれだけ荷物をコンパクトにできるか悩みに悩んでます（笑）フェスティバルでは音楽で踊ることも楽しみですが、みんながみんな「見たら人生が変わる」っていう日食を体験することをとても楽しみにしています。
もしこのフェスティバルについて情報が欲しい方や、不安がある方は当編集部までご連絡ください。
