It's always interesting to hear a foreigner's opinion about topeng monyet. The attraction has been tradition ever since I was a kid, firstly watching I admit that I liked it, but then it bored me coz the attraction contained animal torturing.<br /><br />I don't watch it nowadays, I hope my boycott can contribute for banning of topeng monyet, though I guess it's impossible.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy your days at Indonesia :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205697861782485749.post-2893685810370100832011-10-14T20:10:32.530+07:002011-10-14T20:10:32.530+07:00SRS, thank you for your comments.
