We bought it in Jakarta, imported from Germany and it got transported and connected. Lots of those rivers are also rather muddy and brown and no doubt polluted in most areas. East Java was by far not as heavily populated. Got my original text back by now; it got removed... for strange reasons!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-76589902559951717772021-05-15T10:07:11.491-04:002021-05-15T10:07:11.491-04:00Dearest Victor,
