    The Notion of Fasting in the Javanese Belief

    Javanese do fasting, or what they called pasa [pronounced as “poso”], for various reasons and in different ways. In this issue, we will introduce some forms of fasting - 1. pasa mutih, 2. pasa masang ngrowot, and 3. pasa ngudup mlati.

    LIFE’S SIMPLE PLEASURES

    Breaking in a new pair of flip-flops is always painful. Therefore, I usually have two or three pairs in various stages of “wearability”. The newly purchased ones are only for short trips, to make sure I don’t get blisters between my toes while wandering far from home.

    The Fall of The Coconut Palm

    It was on one such occasion that I found a sprouting coconut on the beach and decided to take it back with me to Jakarta. My father and I had enjoyed eating fresh coconut meat when I was a child – a passion no one else in the family enjoyed – so perhaps it was nostalgia that made me do it.

    About this Theme

    This theme was inspired by the great magazine style themes of Brian Gardner and Darren Hoyt. I took those elements that I liked the most in every theme and combined them together in one single theme. The different page templates are inspired by Brian Gardners "Revolution" theme, the use of custom fields is something I first recognized at "Mimbo" by Darren Hoyt. The Tabbed section in this version 2.0 is done by using ui.tabs by Klaus Hartl (stilbuero.de).

    The Name of the theme was inspired by the famous American jazz sax-player, Branford Marsalis. Although I´m German, I decided to present this theme in english in order to make it available for a greater audience. German version may follow.

    This is my very first WP-Theme and if you detect any bugs, please let me know. If you use this theme, please let me also know and make sure the copyright remains as it is.

Warung Kaki Lima

It’s always exciting on a trip to find a place to eat genuine dishes from the area you’re visiting. Local restaurants, cafes and bakeries offer a wide range of meals, sweets and snacks. In Jogja, some of the most authentic and unique foods can be found only in warung kaki lima, five legged stalls covered by tents. After closing, the tents are taken down and the mobile stalls are rolled away.
