Java in the Raw
A sister channel to my original channel the Magic of Java originally designed for people who are more interested in the travel and ethnographic side of Java. Increasingly, however, the focus is shifting to folklore of my native Shropshire and it's neighboring counties. This reflected my inability to leave the island of Java during the health crisis, which has only partially been relaxed. Slowly I am able to reintroduce more content from my travels outside Java and in other parts of Indonesia, but will continue to research content from the UK.
