The Windows on the World Books have found a wide audience among armchair travelers of all ages though originally targeted toward younger audiences aged 8 to 18. Let's travel together from Tampa via Chicago and Tokyo to the volcanic islands of Indonesia. This exotic location offers a glimpse of equatorial life complete with thick jungles, flying lizards and a unique culture. Our friends take us to visit the island of the Komodo Dragon and we also visit the ancient ruins of Borobodur (850AD). Among many new experiences, we stay in a former Sultan's Palace, learn about the art of shadow puppets and have a bit of an adventure on a betjak (bicycle taxi).
