From the discussions related to this previous post, I’ll take the time to answer the question here, so it doesn’t get lost in the mix. How about pictures of other islands in Indonesia? Seperti Sumatra, Kalimantan, dan Irian Jaya (They are not small and rich of cultures as well). And how about the one close to home? I havenÂ’t seen Javanese dancer and much of javanese cultures in your gallery (Seperti Tari Jaipongan dan tari bondan–those are popular too). …Read more

Of Beauty and Footsteps
