My inspiration song, made famous in 1940 by the Ink Spots, and written by Ben Oakland and Milton Drake, is Java Jive.

I love coffee, I love tea

I love the Java Jive and it loves me

Coffee and tea and the java and me

A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (Boy!)...

JAVA SEA (May 24, 2014) An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 12 "Golden Falcons" (HSC-12) prepares to launch from the flight deck of U.S. 7th Fleet flagship USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19). Blue Ridge is on patrol in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region with embarked 7th Fleet staff, HSC-12 and Marines from Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Team Pacific.

A probably 19th century (but possibly 18th century) house dating from the Dutch colonial period in Surabaya. The style reflects a merge between Dutch gable houses and local domestic architecture, and is adapted to the tropical climate. It is located in the charming and walkable "heritage kampung".

Probably, no Dutch person ever lived in this house. The house is located in a traditional, historical Javanese neighbourhood of the colonial town, since the colonial city was segregated into different neighbourhoods home to different ethnicities en religions (f.e.: the Dutch neighbourhood, Chinatown, the Malay-Arab Islamic neighbourhood, the Javanese neighbourhood).

What I personally love about these houses that they resemble very much some town houses in Willemstad, Curaçao (another former Dutch colonial town and UNESCO world heritage site), and the similar "cas di cunucu" of neighbouring Aruba (also a former Dutch colony), where I have my roots.

Surabaya was found during the mighty Hindu-Buddhist Majapahit Empire (13th to 16th century), when it served as a port nearby its fabulous capital. During this time, it received Muslim Sufi missionaries, such as Ampel, who preached here and thus found an Islamic base in Java from where the religion was further spread. The historic Ampel neighbourhood still has one of the oldest mosques of Indonesia. The town came into the hands of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the early 18th century, who further developped the town and introduced fascinating Dutch colonial architecture, but at the expense of the population and according to seggregation. Surabaya was the second most important port due to the export of sugar and tobacco from the interior. It was from here that, after the Japanese occupation in WWII, that the Indonesians and Sukarno declared independence from The Netherlands in 1945.

“Where did you get that hat? Java – a rainy afternoon in the rice fields”

Java, my first partner's dog I just learned this past Saturday was put to sleep. She was 12 years old.

I've never met a dog in my entire life that was as unique and special as she was. Java was part Grey Wolf and German Shepherd. She was so incredibly smart and just aware of her entire surroundings. If she had met you just once, she would have remembered who you were and be so excited to see you. When you stared into her marbley gold eyes....it was like she was staring into your soul.... I will always treasure the time we shared together...

Rest in Peace girl....

I will see you one day again on the Rainbow Bridge....

The temple was built during the golden age of Syailendra Dynasty, presumably between 750 and 825. Dark-grey volcanic stone was used for the construction of the monument, which is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
