@[B]RhysG[/B]Thanks for sharing the translation of the national anthem which "every day before school i had to sing". It's a pity that the lyrics bear little resemblance to the reality of today's Indonesia. I wonder what went wrong? Mind you, all national anthems I've heard suffer from the same problem.What you posted here, with all due respect, [I]might[/I] be better as a modern rap song. Or maybe a "reggae version" for Bali. Dangdut version for Java? I-Pop version? I better stop there in case I get slapped with sedition charge.And greetings to [B]borborigmus[/B] for remembering his password. Are you the [B]real[/B] "[I]borborigmus[/I]"? If so, I love your blog. Look forward to more posts from you, here, if you can be bothered.What shared "childhood language" do you speak of?No need to answer that here. Send me a PM from Legian and visit me/us (in Sanur).We could write/compile yet [I]another[/I] book about Bali, as seen from outer space. (Different from Cat Wheeler, Made Wijawa and not focused on birds and butterflies.):frog:
