If foreigners can be amazed by it, why can't Indonesians themselves? My favorite one is BBC's series about Indonesia.

I've heard about the discovery of the new 'species' homo floresiensis but I've never known the 'little people' exist! And I've never heard about giant rats before!

Whilst actually the explanation of Keith Richard is not something new since it's been written by our anthropologist. The difference only at the starting point. Our anthropologist never see the history or the animal from that Hobits point of view. Hehehehe, but I love Keith's explanation, he had added another knowledge of Indonesia treasure :-) <abbr><em><abbr><em>tere616s last blog post..<a href="http://tere616.blogspot.com/2008/12/note-to-heaven.html" rel="nofollow">A Note to Heaven</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Maybe because the starting point of Keith Richard adventure was based on the Myths and the Hobits, where the last one is not under Indonesian culture, which make you pay the attention of Indonesia.
