\"\"<\/a>Welcome back to Member Spotlight where we introduce you to the personalities behind AIYA. This week, we introduce you to member of Jakarta Chapter, Minh Bui!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>What is your occupation\/What do you study?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I study Economics and Indonesian studies at University of Sydney (USYD)<\/p>\n

Fun fact you would like to share with us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love playing touch rugby and rugby union<\/p>\n

What is your most memorable culture shock experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because I am Vietnamese-Australian, most Indonesians don’t realise I’m a foreigner until I speak Indonesian and they hear the thick Aussie accent. Even with the accent many Indonesian commonly mistake me for a Malaysian or Indonesian from a faraway place like Manado or Nias.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite place to visit in Indonesia\/Australia?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salatiga, Indonesia or Cabramatta, Australia<\/p>\n

Favourite meal in Indonesia\/Australia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lumpia Semarang with garlic sauce for Indonesian cuisine, but for Australian cuisine it would have to be Banh mi (or Bun Bo Hue) – Vietnamese-Australian food is the most delicious food ever<\/p>\n

How about your favourite word in Indonesian\/English?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indonesian – Iya dong. Australia – yeah mate<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite Indonesian\/Australian film?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t have one<\/p>\n

Any hopes for the bilateral relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’d be great if the bilateral relationship could be strengthened to be more than just a working relationship but more of a close friendship<\/p>\n

What was getting involved with AIYA like?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pretty easy. The AIYA Jakarta president (Mbak Citra) asked me to become one of the chapter’s events officers so I sent in my CV for review. Started helping the chapter committee right away by planning touch rugby meetups at Monas in Central Jakarta<\/p>\n

What do you like most about AIYA?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really enjoy attending AIYA’s events and their success in bringing young Australians and Indonesians together to build the people-to-people connections that are so important for the bilateral relationship. Events like rugby and badminton meetups, language and cultural exchanges, or networking nights are always a great way to see the great work AIYA is involved in<\/p>\n

Sum up your experience as an AIYA member in three words!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fun. Fun. Fun.<\/p>\n
