A Universal Truth

Over the weekend, Jeremiah visited the resort town of Kaliurang, situated on the slope of Mount Merapi. Tucked in a corner of Kaliurang was the lovely Ullen Sentalu Musuem, which showcased Javanese art, music and history. A significant portion of the exhibit was devoted to the royal family here. According to the guide, the primary pursuits of female members of the royal family (then) were dancing and creating batik. Photos and paintings of them happily engaging in such activities were displayed in the musuem.

Apparently, life as a tai-tai is good everywhere!
