Batik, Originally, Genuine from Pekalongan, Indonesia

Batik is genuine word related to cloth painting from Pekalongan, Indonesia. Pekalongan is the first town, which is produce both the word and the painting cloth i mention above. The cloth is painted using some wax called 'malam', manually. For some patterns, the price is so expensive because of the painting duration. From hundred of years, this cultural heritage remain and the product used even in daily activity till now. I have to say it clearly cause you now,.. some country can be so greedy, and we don't like any other country claim what they don't belong.

Candi Sukuh : A Sex Temple

Just like david sculpture from vatican, but this built from black stone, river black stone which found easily surround that area.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Bali, and Pendet Dancing

After Reog, rasa sayange song, now Malaysia use Pendet dancing, a Bali origin dance to promote their tourism. I think problems like this will never end since Malaysia originally does not have multivarian cultural property like Indonesia. They claim islands, then cultural property, whats next? If they were integrate with Indonesia, thats not become a problem thoug..., or they just express their dream,.."I wanna be Indonesian?",... LOL
