This time I chatted with Mr. Rudi from @TamanredjoTalents . He is still very fluent in Javanese. We discussed many things: history, the direction of the East and West, Kejawen in Suriname, culture and customs that are still preserved, etc. An exciting conversation! Sorry if my Javanese is still not good ????????
