One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being an educator and educate the young people in Indonesia (Jakarta, Bandung, Bali..well at least some of islands in Indonesia :D)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I'm good at laughing out loud, my language-Indonesian, and teaching young children up to elementary level

Learn:
Still learning how to cook great meals and always think that knitting is cool :) Besides I always wanna give Salsa and Swing a try, darn stiff body ;)) last but not least, your language!

Share:
Anything important to you and education for young ones

What I Can Share with Hosts

For me, food defines one's culture, like Louise Fresco says, "Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It's not about nutrients and calories. It's about sharing. It's about honesty. It's about identity" so one thing I'll share with you will be traditional food/snack from Indonesia :)
