it was back in 1988...
..that I started studying bahasa Indonesia at Lund University. It took a while but it was really worth it and it opens a lot of doors once you get past the most common tourist phrases. Most rewarding was to spend a year at the Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Java. Hot and humid in many ways, but nevertheless a very good experience. I used to teach evening courses a few years back and there is a possibility I might do that again the coming fall.
