Just a quick word of warning to those thinking of bringing back the bongo drums from Bali.
My 9 year old son wanted one ( 50K Rups ) so we bought him one, declared it upon arrival in Perth and due to the skin of the drum not being tanned we were given the choice of paying $60.00 to have it "cured" by gamma radiation or having it cut off and destroyed. No prize for guessing which option we took.
Sad part was seeing the look on my son's face as the strings holding to the drum top to the wooded base being cut off.
