Having peanut cream or strawberry jam on your toast for breakfast is common. Ever tried chestnut paste on the toast? Since I love chestnut, I try to find out where to get it. It appears that Monbana has it. I happpen to consume chocolate powder of Monbana and in its website, chestnut paste is one of its products. However, the range of Monbana products available in Jakarta is not complete and I could find fig paste, strawberry jam, cherry jam and even milk but not chestnut paste. Therefore, every time I visit a supermarket, I always go to confectionery section only to look for chestnut paste. Two weeks ago, I found it at Food Hall of Grand Indonesia. The paste is made in France and imported by an Australian company. So, it enters Indonesian market through Australia. The price is not expensive. It is about forty thousand something per jar. Now, I always have chestnut paste available besides strawberry jam and peanut cream.

My colleague in Atmajaya University referred me to this distance
learning course offered by RELO. She is going to apply for "Teaching
English for Young Learners" and I am applying "Business English".
To comply with the requirements, I am an Indonesian and currently I
teach "Translation" and "Writing II" at English Department, School of
Teacher Training and Education, Atma Jaya Catholic University,
Jakarta.
I can see that many English Department from various universities that
didn't include Business English in their curricula start to do so. It
is now widely taught, even in other departments. Besides, there are
only few lecturers that specialize in Business English, the others are
"forced" to teach Business English without relevant background. By
taking this course, I hope to master Business English and therefore
can contribute my skill to teach it at Atma Jaya University and other
universities in Jakarta.
