Thank you Alan for the explanations!

It is a very interesting history how the Keris appeared and evolved throughout the history.

Strange that each time after reading your postings I feel like packing and going back to Indonesia for a month or so...

Yeah, a month or so, especially as a tourist can be pretty nice.

Stay in a nice hotel, preferably with aircon and hot and cold running servants, private car with driver waiting to take you where you want to go.

Clean bathroom and plumbing that works.

Lunch in a pendopo set in a garden.

I've done that a few times. Definitely pretty nice.

But at the other end of the scale it gets a bit closer to the bone, and in my opinion this is where we need to be to gain any understanding at all.
