There are has traditional village and friendly local people with their daily activities. It is the traditional weaving it is local called “Utan” or Sarong (Indonesia). About the weaving is very different than other kinds of sarong in Indonesia it is about how to make, the tools and the motive. With the unique motive like a bird, dragon, ant, horse and another like show it their uniqueness. In their daily, the sarong usually used in the local ceremony, it used in traditional dances, weeding and almost in their activities because a time ago the local people only used the sarong as their clouds before they find the another clouds like now, and then the girls must can make the sarong before they see their husband because that is the one point in weeding ceremony they will give the sarong to their husbands family. You can buy it for gift with many kinds of type like clouds from sarong with beautiful motive and the many kinds of bags. In there also you can find the local craft the name is “Seneng” Sikka local language. It’s one of the traditional craft in Flores Island and you can just find in Maumere that’s the beautiful handicrafts for me because it make from traditional things and from unique types. The peoples use it for put the foods, money, put the anything it likes a bag, and they used at the traditional ceremony and you can buy also for the gift to your country.
