[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9427780, member: 2844"]Lovely, and definitely a thingy. I'll tag the wonderful [USER=18699]@Ken Yap[/USER] for you.:playful: Is the exhibition going to be in Melbourne? Btw, I was reading about the original use of the term Peranakan, and was surprised that it was originally used for the 'Indos', Dutch Indonesians. They were obviously 'anak' or child of the country, and part indigenous, but they were not considered Indonesian. Peranakan was even used as a legal term for the Indos in the racially defined post 1900 era of the Dutch East Indies. The people we now call Peranakan were officially 'other Asian'. Strange times, and things change. But there you are, I am Peranakan.:D (Sort of.:confused:)[/QUOTE]
