Thanks for the detailed update on “batik”, very much appreciated. The puppets (Petruk-Gareng), by the way are very much like Karagoz-Hacivat of Turkish shadow puppets (No, they do not look the same). I’ll put some research in it, some time. Once again thank you for the update.

It is a miracle and a masterpiece flying a kite like this. I wonder, if there are people who can earn money from that (profesionals).
