It was high (at about 2,000 meters) and was therefore cool. In addition, the Bromo volcano and the accompanying Sand Sea were nearby. One could also take a look at the Tenggerezen, a group of Javanese who became non-Islamic who attracted the interest of anthropologists and tourists at an early stage. The cool climate also made it a suitable place for a sanatorium. Europeans could recover from the fatigues of the hot lowlands, which of course was always cheaper than refurbishing in Holland. (P. Orchard, 2001). Sanatorium Tosari in Pasuruan, East Java Entrance Sanatorium Tosari, Tengger Mountains, Pasoeroean, East Java Tosari is a town in Pasuruan administrative area in East Java province, Indonesia. The village has 3,193 inhabitants (2010 census). Kampong is a Malay word for a fenced-in yard, a collection of houses that visibly belong together by a fence, an associated part of the city (district), or a small village. Larger units of habitation (desas) are divided into kampongs. The word is widespread in Indonesia, but also occurs in countries where emigrants from the Dutch East Indies or Indonesia have settled. Most of the Javanese who settled in Suriname from 1890 onwards came to live in kampongs as indentured servants. The word is still common in Suriname for groups of houses in the districts, and especially on (former) plantations
