Gilang and Sorin did a great Job. I got a lot of new information about culture and living in Indonesia. The were talkative, kind, patient and helpful. The Batik workshop teached me a lot about the work itself. You got to respect the sheer amount of work (some take one month) patience and of course passion needed to finish one quality and hand made product. Thank you for this new experience.
It was a very informative culture Tour with Gilang and Sorin. Their english speaking skills were good. Especially the Batik course was very nice, so one can appreciate the work which is put in this kind of work. I have only respect and admiration for these experts, which some times need one month to make one Batik. Back to Gilang and Sorin, both are very nice, humble Kind and talkative people, so it was a pleasure to be accompanied by them.
