Congklak

 

 

You may come across some locals who play this game in Indonesia. Because it is perceived as a "girl's game," the majority of participants are female. Despite this, it is still popular among men. “Congklak” is Indonesian for "cowrie shell," and some believe it is derived from the Malay term Congak. “Congak” represents mental calculation (without writing it down), which is also one way to play it. Now you don’t have to worry about running out of things to do with your friends!

The art of pottery-making dates back a significant amount of time in Indonesia. The majority of the ceramics produced in Indonesia are stoneware and earthenware. There is evidence of pottery production in Indonesia dating back to prehistoric times and used as a part of their daily lives.
