I want to introduce to you about culture in Indonesia, one of which is Batik. Batik is a motif made with various ornaments, usually used as motifs on shirts. How to make it quite difficult, because the traditional making is drawn manually. I'm just trying to share information about my country, does the culture in your country have something like Batik too? I am very grateful if you would exchange information about your country with me. * Sorry, I only rely on translations from Google Translate

In the Philippines, we also have Batik and we also call it Batik but the only thing I know about it is that it’s patterns but I have no further information about it.

Can’t imagine how long it would take to manually draw a batik design. But they’re beautiful.

I was born and raised in the former Canal Zone in Panama. The home where I used to live had a wonderful view of the canal on the Pacific side and was close to the former Canal Zone College which is a Maritime School.
