 In The Time of Java


borobudur, an ancient temple, holding all of the secrets

magical moves, at the sultan's palace, breath taking experience

lovely young men, graceful sultan's dancers, ethereal performers

gamelan chimes, a long time ago now, important part of my life


Borobudur Temple

  1. Rall, I really love how you captured the timeless spirit of Borobudur and the sultan's palace. The way you describe the dancers and gamelan chimes takes me right there with you!

    Much love,

    1. Indonesia is on our doorstep so it is very inexpensive to travel and live there particularly years ago. When I first went there the average Indonesian salary was thirty Australian dollars per annum !
