"Aloha Paul!
Thank you for your note:) It was lovely to meet and chat with you. Thank you for helping me find a gift for my mother, she loved it. I hope everything went well with the closing, and that you are well on your way with your theatre project. The email of my friend Norman, who I'm sure would be interested in what you are working on, is: enormvs@hotmail.com. I will be sure to pass him your yahoo address, as well.
My time at home was healing, and just what I needed to prepare myself for job searching and life ahead. I was able to finally quit smoking! I am much further along in getting over the breakup, so thank you for your advice:) I'll be headed to New York for a couple of weeks, then back to England. I'm not sure when I'll be back in San Francisco, but I hope soon. I look forward to chatting with you again. Take good care of yourself. X
Peace,

"Hi Amron;
I am not sure if this email will even reach you. If it does, I hope it finds you in good spirits and good fortune!
I attempted to visit your store on Hayes Street yesterday only to learn from the store owner to the right of your "old" location, that you had moved to the Castro. Then I drove over to the Castro and looked for your store on 18th Street. Well, needless to say I did not find you. Have you relocated to another location within San Francisco or closed all together?
Even though I work in San Francisco and live in Petaluma, I usually commute right home after work. Once in a great while I will meet up with a friend of mine and we usually visit "Die Suppenkuche" (as we both are originally from Germany!). On those occasions we would always visit your store.
Yesterday was one of 'our' days and to our surprise, you no longer were there!
I certainly hope you only relocated somewhere within San Francisco. It would be so sad if you closed for good.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Love & light
Susanne

I only stopped by the store once -- this past Christmas, with my friend
Humphrey, who lives in SF. I bought a carved lingham sculpture (with a
man attached to it), which currently adorns my coffee table.
If you open any other ventures in SF, I'd be delighted to know about it
for the next time I'm in town. I felt encouraged to be educated. I
leave behind sweet memories of that trip.
You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it!"

Waduh.... I really like your store! Sayang banget udah mau tutup :( Dulu Flo-2 nawarin aku buat ngunjungi Gecko-2 atau volunteer, eh, akunya kebanyakan acara. Suamiku bilang, kebaya item & sarungnya bagus sekali. Aku lagi ngebujukkin dia supaya minggu depan mau liat-2 toko mu, supaya bisa beli drapery atau hiasan dinding lainnya...as I said last sunday, buat ruang makan. Mas Paul masih ada disini ngga' sampai Indonesian day?
Nanti aku tanya Flo-2 waktu yang ok, supaya (kalau bisa nih), sebelum Mas Paul melanglang buana lagi, kita bisa berkunjung ke tempat Mas Paul buat nonton Berbagi Suami.
kalau Mas Paul perlu bantuan volunteer, do not hesitate to contact me yah. Aku usahakan sebisaku untuk mbantu.

Good luck. I've notified everyone we know in SF to check out the store, before

Meanwhile Wayan and I are looking for someone to do a little research project
for us in Yogya. We're selling a shopping basket we buy in the markets in
Bali and want to try and find the source as one of our customers wants to place a
fairly large order. Someone said they're made in Yogya but we need to know
for sure as you know rumors abound in Bali!! We have cousins in Yogya that
might do it but he's busy at ISI...so if you can recommend someone with e-mail who
is very reliable that would be great.
Good wishes, Richard Nevell & Wayan Suarni"

Welcome home to SF! I'm SO glad to hear your Milan show was so successful and that you are heading to Paris in the fall...ah, my favorite city! I'll look forward to viewing your photos...thanks for sharing!
Sounds like you have an interesting new career option and perhaps this could be a new path for you that will offer much fulfillment, as I know you are seeking that right now. David and I send our love and best wishes for you!
Sorry to hear about the Gecko Gecko closing! We wish we were there to buy a few items and support your sale! We'll be with you in spirit!
We are in Nairobi, Kenya, right now and just got back from an amazing 11-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. We saw a ton of amazing animals and it was a great experience. We are trying to figure out our next 2 weeks in this area and then fly to Ethiopia July 17 for 2 weeks and then on to northern India, where we hope to trek in Ladakh before heading to Bangkok and China for a month (and Tibet!).
We were fondly just this morning remembering our time in Indonesia and are looking forward to being back there in Jan. '08. If you are there, let us know! We hope to visit Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and back to Bali and perhaps Lombok this time. We love it there!
Hugs and love to you. Be peaceful and follow your heart!

"I love this shop.
I travel to Indonesia a couple of times each year, and this gem in The Castro is like shopping there.
The owners have a good eye for picking things that work here in San Francisco ... one of the owners is Indonesian which may explain the great prices.
Go there for an unusual gift, something special for yourself ... or just treat it like a gallery or museum and go to enjoy the treasures.
I always seem to stumble onto something unexpected when I find myself there. It is well worth the trip!"

I was many times also in magazines, newspapers, tv programs, radios. But knowing such a great and so determined person - on what you are doing - is a kind of great opportunity to reflect on ourselves, on what we have done to ourselves and others; what we are doing sustainably and what we plan we are going to do in the future.
I have no idea what to tell you, but thank you for making me very inspired and encouraged and thank you for being an east-meets-west inspiration to me.

You showed me around a new hotel that I think was

here for over 6years. I got married to an Indonesian

Look after yourself and let me know how you're doing.

Sorry I missed this but I didn’t get back from Bali and Java until this week. I wanted to thank you for contacting your sister and helping us stay at your place in Jogja. Kiem and I enjoyed the hotel and appreciated all the help the staff provided. We met your sister as we were checking out and had an enjoyable conversation with her. We rented a car in Jogja and drove to Semarang via Borobudor and Bandungan. Kiem managed to find her family’s old Chinese house in Semarang Chinatown and amazingly even managed to connect with some of her relatives – her parents left Semarang in 1949 and she is the first to go back!
Thanks again. I wish you success on your new location.

As you probably know from talking to Vera, I just returned from another trip to Yogya. It seems almost sad to be back in the cold and snow after being at the lovely Jogja Village Inn. The new restaurant looks great—it’s amazing how rapidly everyone has been able to put many of their businesses back together.
I just looked through your website and was so pleased by what I saw there. What vision you have! Every so often I visit SanFrancisco for one reason or another and would love to meet you and see your store.
If I understood correctly from your guest book you arranged a benefit to aid the earthquake victims in Yogya? After initially worrying about my friends there it was great for me to be able to send money to Susi and know it really reached people directly. I was reminded on this trip how much I admire the spirit and community in Yogya as people have worked to together to rebuild their lives. On the other hand it was very sad to see the devastation that still exists in Bantul. I worry for these people when the rains come, and hope they will not be forgotten.
Please let me know of any benefit events you might plan in the future, and if you ever venture to Colorado please let me know.
Sincerely,
Deb

From the Consulate Relief fund we already sent some amount to Yogya and hopefully will be sent more depend to new donation we received.
How about if we can help them with other way such the active participation of you at the Indonesian Day 2006 which triggered the people to come to Indonesia as a tourist and to do a business with Indonesia like you did last year.

I am very sorry to hear the news about the earth quake and your family and their home On Friday, June 26th at about 4:15 p.m, which was about 6:15 a.m. in Yogya, I called my father who also resides in Yogya (jl. Kaliurang) which is not too far from Mtn. Merapi (probably just about 18 miles). I happened to call my father just 15 minutes after the quake> I had a good 2 minute- conversation with my father, and then the phone was disconnected. I couldn't get in touch with him for 2 days and that made me very concerned and nervous. I finally got in touch with him and learned that my family in Yogya was safe. The house is fine too. At the same time I feel very sad to know that there are a lot of people and friends who lost members of their families as well as their homes. Very sad.
Is there anything that I can help?
