The march of modern improvement scarcely affects old-world Java, where jolting SADO and ponderous milord remain unchanged since the early days of colonisation, for time is a negligeable quantity in this lotus-eating land, too apathetic even to adopt those alleviations of tropical heat common to British India.
"Through the Malay Archipelago"
Emily Richings
A SADO, with a team of three tiny ponies, dashes up the long avenue leading to the palm-fringed hills, the mighty Amherstia trees forming aisles of dark green foliage, brightened with the vivid glow of orange red blossoms.
"Through the Malay Archipelago"
Emily Richings
SADO is situated in the Japan sea, off the northwest coast of the Main island.
