Dutch Building Tanjung
Pandam
 We left the Tin Museum and headed toward town.
There are many Dutch buildings in the city of Tanjung Pandam, collectively known
as ‘Rumah Tuan Kuase or Hoofdadministrateur’. We arrived at a rather handsome example built in 1860.
 We entered and the right side of the main
room was laid out with a bridal bed, bride and groom,
gifts and around the edge...........
    ...............food seen at a
wedding reception, finished with a cup of
tea......
  .A couple of old wedding
photographs on the wall.
 The left of the main
room was set out for a reception.
 We saw a couple of
DVD’s that feature the granite rocks near our anchorage – sadly in
Indonesia with no subtitles.
 In the next room we saw traditional
instruments and Michelle demonstrated a cart, wearing
a coolie hat.
  On the wall a bicycle
pannier. We looked from the rear
window.
 A traditional local
house.
 A lad in local
dress.
 A typical servery with dish
covers.
  Back the way we had come. Passing the bridal decorations and outside passing
a window.
 The house in
1860...............
 ...................and today, remarkable.
ALL IN ALL INCREDIBLE FOR ITS
AGE
SUBSTANTIAL
