hanging out & greeting my visitors... somebody's gotta do it my step ancestors in the back. 150 years or so separate our families,, but really- in the larger picture, that's just a blip.
this is the queen's house. Ie... when the king had too many daughters, sometimes he had to build a second home to house them all in. Interesting side note: Minangkabau has been muslim for a few centuries now. It remains matrilineal, so when the subject of polygamy comes up,,, although Islam says yes, Minang tradition says no. Just in case anyone was wondering how many wives the king had. 1 is enough, when women are calling the shots.
