They took at least 30 Telkom University international students to participate in a gathering and out bond, along with their “buddies”, local students who have been international students partner.

Some of the international students can speak Bahasa well. But, some others only speak English. Yet, they were managed to understand all the instructions that communicate by the instructor. Of course there were misunderstanding here and there, but overall, the activities went well and everybody happy.

Suyanto, Ir., MBA., DBA. hoped that the activity could simplify the cross culture process between the international students and Indonesian cultures.
