Pada suatu siang, gw msnan sama teman, waktu itu ngobrol tentang gimana caranya dapetin guru-guru native speaker yang bisa ngajar Bahasa Inggris, karena kebetulan ada tante yang lagi bikin sekolah tinggi Bahasa Inggris di Makassar. Cerita punya cerita yah terjadilah conversation di bawah ini. Pertamanya sih gw ngakak.. tapi setelah gw baca lagi, eh ada benernya biarpun cara penyampaiannya agak sarkastik sih.. jadi impression orang luar terhadap sebagian besar (kita) masyarakat Indonesia seperti itu, hmm.. apa kita gak malu? Hehehe thanks Reub, (in a good way, really)
reuben says: tell her to put ads on the internet about how you can enjoy the natural beauty and traditional culture of indo. you’ll get ppl that way
Aisha says: does that really work?
reuben says: ya of course
reuben says: that’s what your government should be doing to get tourists here
Aisha says: ih waw gampang terpengaruh
reuben says: no, just that lots of westerners love nature
reuben says: most indonesians seem to hate it. they’re like "look at this beautiful forest full of rare animals that don’t exist anywhere else. let’s burn it down and kill all the animals so we can build a mall. we can lean over the railings on the 2nd story and look at what the people down the bottom are doing. it will be so cool.."
Aisha says: hahaha
Cheers,
Aisha
