Kendal in the world

Posted by Xitalho Labels: Towns

I’ve never thought before that the name of my birth place, Kendal ( Central Java, Indonesia ) is not only in Indonesia..!! Why Indonesia? Because in Indonesia it self, as long as I know , has two places named Kendal.

One of them is my childhood town in the west of ( ±25km) of Semarang. The other Kendal is a sub district at Ngawi (East Java Province).
