CULTURE TRADITION JAVANESEA guide to life for JavaneseLast May, I returned to Indonesia to visit my mom. In the morning I heard that she was on the phone. Talking with my auntie. It looked like a serious and long conversation. I was curious about what they talking about so I sat near her. “ Yes, it should be on Saturday Kliwon”, she said. It turns out they talked about what the best day to open my niece’s coffee shop is based on the Javanese calendar.
