In October 2004, the journal Nature broke the news to the world that an Australian Archaeologist, Michael Morwood, then from UNE, Australia, had the year previously discovered “a new small-bodied hominim” that had lived from 74000 to 13000 years ago, on the Indonesian island of Flores.

Sandals and Fun...
Sounds like it's all coming together. For what it's worth you'll have no trouble finding someone to make shoes and/or sandals in Kuta when you get to Bali. If you can't find anybody you like then head to Charisma Tailors at the end of Poppies lane 1 (the one with McDonalds on the corner) the last set of actual shops before it hits Legian street. Charisma is next door to a shop which sells T-Shirts for dogs (as opposed to cooking them) and another which sells pirated movies. Ask for Made and tell him that Mr. Mark from the Grand Istana Rama (The friend of Mr. Paul) sent you. He'll look after you and your sandals :) Travel safe!
