Maybe if...Dear GranJan, thank you for your support! Maybe if there are many like you who want my book translated, then the publisher would do it. Keep my fingers crossed! :-)<br /><br />About the culture, I agree with you that Indian culture is fascinating. I watch many Bollywood movies myself. But INDONESIAN culture is definitely not any less riveting. Indonesia is very rich with lots of different ethnics, beautiful scenery, delicious cuisines, and not to mention bewitching traditional dances and ceremonies. In Part Two of this article, I will introduce you to BATIK, a fabulous decorated fabric that people here use as daily clothes as well as ceremonial dresses. UNESCO even granted it as the world's Intangible Cultural Heritage from Indonesia. In the story of my book, Emma, the eldest daughter, owns a Batik Boutique.<br /><br />In EAT PRAY LOVE, Julia Roberts goes half the world to find peace in her life. She's in ITALIA for eating, in INDIA for praying, and in INDONESIA for loving. And while Indonesia is a vast archipelago country, BALI is definitely one of the most beautiful islands with the bluest beaches and the greenest valley. In my story, the other daughters, Meri and Lisa, spend a weekend in Bali to escape from their heartbroken stories in Jakarta, but turns out meeting the men they loved in Bali. It's a wonderful bittersweet story that I really did enjoy writing, for the lovely feeling and the beautiful setting of it. <br /><br />I do hope someday you can read my book, GranJan. :-)Prima Santikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534503873028807267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-57048412914801579582012-04-29T20:13:01.447+02:002012-04-29T20:13:01.447+02:00This book is amazing! :)This book is amazing! :)Juwitahttp://www.facebook.com/juwitajufrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-53637225337313950492012-04-29T04:03:31.626+02:002012-04-29T04:03:31.626+02:00your book sounds delightful.
