Dear Friends,
Here's the picture of Mount Welirang that I took from opposite our house here in the village of Slepi. Very beautiful, isn't it?
The word "Welirang" in Javanese means "sulfur." Up to this day, people mine sulfur from the crate of the mountain for chemical ingredients in soaps and cosmetics.
Welirang is an active volcano, thus people mine its sulfur to prevent it from erupting. If it does, the whole resort villages located on its slope (according our tranquil environment) will surely vanish!
Such is the risk of residing on the lap of a fiery, slumbering giant.
