Today is Friday the thirteenth, and since I skipped writing on Halloween, here we go folks. I must have eaten a lot of chicken wings as a child, because according to Javanese superstition, that means one will travel overseas – and here we are, in Indonesia. Other superstitions of the Javanese (not to be mistaken with the Japanese) are not sewing shirt buttons on when one is wearing the shirt as this will cause a serious illness, and a single woman should not comb her hair on a Saturday as she will marry a man hard to please.
