I am proud to be an ASEAN IACS graduate and glad to have really good friends.
In this post you will see how cool our batch was and fun most of all!
Batik is a very intricate and delicate art, it comes with hard work and determination.
Batik is significant to Indonesia's culture, they have numerous Batik museums, and collections, everything from clothes, accessories, art works, furniture and even a wear Batik day.
I love batik, it has made me learn patience and determination. Why? because you have to love what you're doing, and it is not just a hobby, a job, a business but a tradition that will never fade.
These are batik canting tools.

It was a pleasure to have cooperated in this program. I learned a lot, a lot from Indonesia, and from my colleagues, especially during this trip which made me aware of being prepared before traveling.
I know I also made mistakes, and a failure to have traveled heavy. That was a time where I was too full of myself (make-up, and being materialistic) because I was hooked with "gal style". Now, I took this lesson to enjoy most of the day with the company of my family and friends, nature, scenery, food, local people and fun things to do.
We travel and we learn.
