Batik

We went to get Nate a batik shirt for work.  Batik is cloth dyed by using a wax-resist technique.  It is very popular here in Indonesia.  It's their thing.  When men want to dress nice, they don't wear suits or even tuxes, they wear these shirts.  Long or short sleeves depending on how dressed up you want to be.  

They make all kinds of things with batik.  If you are reading this, and you are my family or friend, you are going to get some batik something from me.  You may as well tell me what you want.


We got G a shirt too.  He loves it.  I've never had such an easy time getting him dressed for church.  He looks very handsome.  He gets so much attention from all the Indo women when he is wearing it.  I wanted to buy one for Mads too, but they didn't have any good ones in his size that day.
