3 If you live in Canberra,
you may be interested in the following info supplied by John Davenport.
The Embassy of Indonesia in Canberra is offering free Bahasa Indonesia
(Indonesian Language) classes at the Embassy for University of the Third
Age Members. The only entry qualification for U3A is that you are aged 50 years
or older. You also have to join U3A for the year which costs $25. This money is
used for administration. Classes proceed at a leisurely pace and are
non-threatening. You will be surprised how much Indonesian you will acquire in
a short time. All classes will make frequent visits to the Embassy's Museum and
Cultural Centre for the cultural studies component of the course. The teachers
of the language courses are graduates from the ANU in Bahasa Indonesia and last
