The residence known for its great landscape and cultural-historical value is located north of Bandung, on West Java in Indonesia. It includes a restaurant, café and hotel accommodation. The area is an example of an old cultural landscape designed according to a traditional model with a mixed function of traditional buildings, nature and original sawahs.

The entire site is freely accessible to visitors. There are small sawas (rice fields), small lakes and streams on the site and the complex is therefore in a natural green, water-rich environment. Like nearby The Peak and Kampung Daun, it is a well-known and popular location for photo sessions. Traditional West Javanese dishes are served in the restaurant. The meal is enjoyed in traditionally built cottages with thatched roofs or in the open air and people sit on the floor at low tables. The food is served in the traditional way in terms of layout and preparation. The resort consists of 25 hotel rooms that are housed in buildings executed in traditional architectural styles.

Yogyakarta Taman Sari Photography
They never refused to give me 30 seconds of their private life. I'm talking about a lot of friendly people who posed for me. Now I visited Taman Sari in Yogyakarta. It's build in 1757 by Sultan Hamengku Buwono.

The style of the building is a mixture of Javanese and Portuguese architecture. At the east gate of the park stands two dragon statues marked 1682 and this being the Year According To Calendar When the Javanese Taman Sari was built.
All visitors were impressed by the style of the building at that time. So, maybe that's why they smilingly posed for me.

Gamelan music and dance
Gamelan is the traditional ensemble music of Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese in Indonesia, made up predominantly of percussive instruments.The most common instruments used are metallophones played by mallets and a set of hand-played drums called kendhang which register the beat. For most Indonesians, gamelan is an integral part of Indonesian culture.

Javanese dance and its discipline has different styles and philosophy compared to other Indonesian dance traditions.
Unlike vigorous and expressive Balinese dance or cheerful and slightly sensual Sundanese dance, Javanese dance are commonly involving slow movements and graceful poses. Javanese dance have somewhat a meditative quality and tends to be more self-reflective, introspective and more oriented toward self-understanding.
Javanese dance is usually associated with Wayang wong, and the palaces of Yogyakarta and Surakarta due to the nature of dance being a pusaka or sacred heirloom from ancestors of the palace rulers.
These expressive dances are more than just dances, they are also used for moral education, emotional expression, and spreading of the Javanese culture.
Have fun

Cao Dai
The Cao Dai temple in Hue, Vietnam. "Cao Dai" literally means "high tower"; in this way reference is made to God. This belief is strongest in the Tay Ninh province and the Mekong Delta. Caodaism (Vietnamese: Đạo Cao Đài, Chữ nôm: 道高臺) is a monotheistic syncretic religion officially established in the city of Tây Ninh in southern Vietnam in 1926.
The full name of the religion is Đại Đạo Tam Kỳ Phổ Độ (The Great Faith [for the] Third Universal Redemption).
Cao Đài (Vietnamese: literally the "Highest Lord" or "Highest Power" is the supreme deity, believed by Caodaists to have created the universe. Caodaists often use the term Đức Cao Đài (Venerable High Lord) as the abbreviated name, whose full title is "Cao Đài Tiên Ông Đại Bồ Tát Ma Ha Tát" ("The Highest Power [the] Ancient Immortal [and] Great Bodhisattva").

The symbol of the faith is the Left Eye of God, representing the yang (masculine, ordaining, positive and expansive) activity of the male creator, which is balanced by the yin activity of Mother Goddess, the Queen Mother of the West (Diêu Trì Kim Mẫu, Tây Vương Mẫu), the feminine, nurturing and restorative mother of humanity. Adherents engage in practices such as prayer, veneration of ancestors, nonviolence, and vegetarianism with the goal of union with God and freedom from saṃsāra.Estimates of the number of Caodaists in Vietnam vary; government figures estimate 4.4 million Caodaists affiliated to the Cao Đài Tây Ninh Holy See, with numbers rising up to 6 million if other branches are added
An additional number of adherents in the tens of thousands, primarily ethnic Vietnamese, live in North America, Europe, and Australia.The Cao Dai temple in Hue, Vietnam.

Citadel Hue city VietNam
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hu%E1%BA%BF Huế is the capital city of Thua Thien – Hue province, Vietnam. Between 1802 and 1945, it was the imperial capital of the Nguyen dynasty. Its population stands at about 340,000. In Sino-Vietnamese script, used until 1945, the name of the city is written.

Huế originally rose to prominence as the capital of the Nguyễn Lords, a feudal dynasty which dominated much of southern Vietnam from the 17th to the 19th century. In 1775 when Trịnh Sâm captured it, it was known as Phú Xuân. In 1802, Nguyễn Phúc Ánh (later Emperor Gia Long) succeeded in establishing his control over the whole of Vietnam, thereby making Huế the national capital.

Traditional Kayan women symbolically culture
(Burma Laos Thailand Tibetan) Kayan people Burma
List of ethnic groups in Burma The Kayan are a subgroup of the Red Karen (Karenni) people, a Tibeto-Burman ethnic minority of Burma (Myanmar). The Kayan consists of the following groups: Kayan Lahwi (also called Padaung, ပဒေါင် [bədàʊɴ]), Kayan Ka Khaung (Gekho), Kayan Lahta, Kayan Ka Ngan. Kayan Gebar, Kayan Kakhi and, sometimes, Bwe people (Kayaw)

Padaung (Yan Pa Doung) is a Shan term for the Kayan Lahwi (the group whose women wear the brass neck coils). The Kayan resident in Mae Hong Son Province in Northern Thailand refer to themselves as Kayan and object to being called Padaung. In The Hardy Padaungs (1967) Khin Maung Nyunt, one of the first authors to use the term "Kayan", says that the Padaung prefer to be called Kayan. On the other hand, Pascal Khoo Thwe calls his people Padaung in his 2002 memoir, From the Land of Green Ghosts: A Burmese Odyssey.

Quan ho Traditional Vietnamese folk song
More about "Quan Ho"
Quan họ singing is a Vietnamese folk music style characterized both by its antiphonal nature, with alternating groups of female and male singers issuing musical challenges and responses, and by the fact that most of the songs in the repertoire deal with topics of love and sentimentality as experienced by young adults.^[1]

Quan ho is recognised as the Intangible Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO in 2009.^[2] The quan họ style originated in what is now Bắc Ninh Province and was first recorded in the 13th century, and has traditionally been associated with the spring festivals that follow the celebration of Tết (the Vietnamese New Year). Historically, the singing began on the evening before the festival, but today it is much more common for the singing to occur on the main day of the festival.

Ca Huế Traditional Vietnamese folk song
The "Huế songs" genre, ca Huế (歌化), or sometimes ca huế, is a form of classical Vietnamese music of Central Vietnam, particularly the Huế region. It contrasts with ca trù (歌籌) genre to the North, and the tài tử (才子) "gifted scholar" style to the South.

The singer sings solo, as in the ca trù genre, accompanying herself with small wooden clappers, sometimes similar to the phách sticks used in ca trù, sometimes shaped like small teacups. Before and between the solo songs a traditional ensemble will play instrumental sections to complement the singer. The ca huế ensemble should be of five excellent instruments, ngũ tuyệt.

Loi Krathong Thai festivals
On the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month, the tide in the rivers is highest and the moon at its brightest, creating a romantic setting ideal for lovers. The Thai people choose this day to hold the 'Loy Kratong' festival, or the 'festival of light.' Loy Kratong is one of the two most recognized festivals in the country.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_Krathong
http://www.chiangmai-chiangrai.com/loy_krathong_festival.html

Loy Kratong is probably the most picturesque and beautiful of all Thai celebrations. 'Loy' literally means 'to float,' while 'kratong' refers to the lotus-shaped receptacle which can float on the water. Originally, the kratong was made of banana leaves or the layers of the trunk of a banana tree or a spider lily plant. A kratong contains food, betel nuts, flowers, joss sticks, candle and coins. The making of a kratong is much more creative these days as many more materials are available.
