Waroom Engels?
I got that qustion quite a lot. Some friends asked me why not just using Indonesia or even Dutch for that matter.
To tell you the truth, originally was meant to be written in Indonesia. It is after all my mother language so it will be easier to play around with the sentences, slangs and expression in Indonesian than in English. So I can express my self better if I write my blog in Indonesian. And of course that true, but for some reason sometimes I find my self easier to write in English... some sentence are meant to be writtenm in English.... sound strange if you try to write it in Indonesia, I mean perfect EYD Indonesia... but then again, I don't even speak Indonesian properly, my whole life I lived in Java thus my Indonesian is mixed with abit Javanese.
I'm not a snob that pretend to speak perfectly in English....not at all.. my English is far from perfect and now that I'm forced to speak Dutch daily, it even ruined my english. It's just that English is universally accepted language. I have some old chatting friend in USA, in Italy, in UK and some other part of the world that doesn't understand Indonesia at all and they like to know some stories drom me from time to time.... so for now English is the best solusion
And I have Dimitri on the other side to think of. The first idea of having this blog is to share our stories. If I use Indonesian, it will be totally my story because Dimitri would not have any idea what I talking about.... yes... he learn some Indonesian but so far he only managed to to say "saya lapar" "saya haus" "saya capek" hehehe One other thing is that I am the kind of person that not easy to say what I'm felling inside. I feel it easier to write it.... if I would write it in Indonesian, Dimtri would not get it.... so this blog is one of plenty way of communicating.. it is usefull to give him a hint about my feeling or about what I want.... like this christmas, I want to have IPOD for a gift... hint..hint.. hint.... hehehehe 
So, that is the idea behind webkita, our web... Dimitri managed to posted some few stories of his own... he said he would like to do some more if he has more time... but I would not hold my breath
