FAQ
"How much does traveling cost?"
Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.
"Health care and insurance?"
Health care and insurance abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care
"What about visas?"
You usually don't need them; when necessary, visas are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset in your first day by the drastically lower cost of living abroad.

Have you tried asking the locals?
Got an answer from my friend here:
"These mural is punakawan pictures, punakawan is a figure in wayang universe in indonesia, those who take care of the 5 Pandavas. The order from left to right is Semar, Gareng, Petruk, and Bagong. taken from the words pana (understanding/clever) and kawan (friend), they symbolize the common people who are intelligent, wise, humorous, and often convey social criticism."
He also attached a couple PDFs explaining the characters and their cultural significance specifically in Javanese puppetry and muslim ethics.
They're like the four wise men representing the common people.
Not yet, but i will.
