Geocache Description:

That silly monkey-king has let the naughty little monkeys in the throne room again and they have pulled apart the crown and scattered the stones all over the ancient city of Lawoe. Please help monkey_king find all his jewels again. (If you can't find the micros, or can't be bothered to stick your hand in an unknown hole, get numbers from parenthetical directions)

Find six micros around town to discover the ultimate stash 'diamond'
