"...A Thousand Untold Stories"

"Lawang Sewu" is the local language for "a thousand doors". It is a building and a historical site in Semarang, Central Java. It doesn't have doors of a thousand as the term "a thousand doors" was merely an expression of the seemingly big amount of doors. Legends said that not only it has many doors (or window arcs, rather), it also has a thousand of untold stories. The Lawang Sewu is a silent witness of life in an office, life in a prison, and life in a war. Lawang Sewu, 10th of July, 2010.
