Keris in Jakarta

Thanks Simatua,

I'll certainly try and visit the places you recommended. An Indonesian friend will be showing me around so getting to those places will not be a problem (though I've been warned about Jakarta's famous traffic jams).
I guess there will be a lot of new Madura made blades on sale, though someone told me some of the better made ones can turn up with very nice pamor.
I think Malaysian customs have a policy of confiscating blade weapons brought through the airport unless you have special permission from the authorities. I think this time I'll just limit myself to scouting the museums and picking up some books.

cheers
