Orangutan Stamp from Zazzle

It is horrible that the palm oil companies have set fires to deliberately kill orangutans (see article updated 3/30/12). Orangutans should all be treated with care.  Rebecca_Reeder devotes time, effort, and sales to Orangutans and other wildlife. Please support her work by purchasing her items from Zazzle.

August 17 is Indonesian Independence Day---Visit BatikCantik at Zazzle

photo from Eco-Dive page at bali3000

August 17, 1945 is a very important day in Indonesian history. There are patriotic parades and picnics and other celebrations.

At http://www.bali3000.com/article/IndependenceDayofRepublicofIndonesia.asp

we see:

"After being under Dutch colonialism for more than three and half century and Japanese colonialism for three and half years, the people of Indonesia finally achieved their aspiration to become an independence nation."

Batik is a 1000-year-old art of waxing, dying, boiling and sun-drying cotton fabrics that some Indonesians have supremely perfected. There are many internet sites that explain all the fascinating history and arts, celebrations and festivities, flora and fauna of Indonesia.

In Indonesian, "cantik" means beautiful. Visit batikcantik's Store at Zazzle to purchase beautiful items from an Indonesian storekeeper.
