  12. Date: 10-07-2005 15:59 Authors: Various students Subject I'm hungry...and homesick Today's chat made me hungry- where is the 'good food guide' for "Asia, the Pacific and the West"? Names of great places to eat please..... ******* Man, I wish I hadn't missed this chat! "Good food" in Melbourne seems to be a vastly variable term though. Nothing beats home cooking (at least you know what's in it)... ^_^ Discussion Forum: ‘Student Café’“Good food Guide” for this subject…

  13. Date: 10-07-2005 Authors: Various students Subject I'm hungry...and homesick Some affordable goodies: i carusi (Pizza in East Brunswick) Bismi (Singaporean Indian in Brunswick) Warwick Thai (Brunswick) and Thalia Thai (East Brunswick) Moroccan Soup Bar (Fitzroy North) Shanghai Dumplings (City) David and Chamy's Noodles (City) Mecca Bah (Docklands) il solito posto (pasta in the city) Babka (Bakery in Fitzroy) Pizza meine liebe (Northcote) Seoul Kitchen (City) Don Don's (Japanese in the city) Will keep thinking!

  14. Date: 10-07-2005 Authors: Various students Subject I'm hungry...and homesick Singapore Chom Chom along Bourke Street (between Swanston and Russell) has really good Singaporean Food (hint to Nicki!) and Foodbowl along Swanston (very near uni!) as well -- I recommend you to try "Laksa" at either places. Or the Chicken Rice :) For yummy Taiwanese Food, check out Peko Peko Cafe at South Melbourne (190 Wells Street, near Domain Interchange) -- I do part time there! For Japanese, check out Teppan San along Russell Street (between Bourke and Little Bourke)! For Thai food, Ying Thai along Lygon Street is good but a ripped off by Thai Baht standard.. ;) For Vietnam cuisine, Mekong along Swanston is cheap annd yummy! Check out Rose Garden at Elizabeth street and Pacific House at Richmond for fantastic Duck cuisine too. Harass your international course mates for the good eating place location, we eat ALOT... :) Discussion Forum: ‘Student Café’“Good food Guide” for this subject…

  15. Date: 10-07-2005 Authors: Various students Subject I'm hungry...and homesick Hehe, so it would seem! Thanks for the tips, guess I'll be spending all my food allowance eating out in the near future... ^_- ****** Ti Amo on Lygon is really good, and the best thing to do if you are hung over on Saturdays or Sundays is to go to the Queen Victoria Market and buy a Boerek in the deli section... hmmm!

  16. Date: 10-07-2005 Authors: Various students Subject I'm hungry...and homesick hey everyone, all that talking about food has made me really hungry now! plus, I'm really enjoying doing an online subject, BUT... i wouldn't mind actually really non-virtually meeting up with some of you... so i was thinking that we should organise a dinner at one of the cheap yummy places maybe in the first week of the semester break? maybe Friday after everyone has handed in their essays? what do people think?

  17. Date: 10-07-2005 Authors: Various students Subject I'm hungry...and homesick Haha Sounds good,Ruth (that's like blind dates! haha). We can go to one of the aforementioned cheap yummy Asian places (very relevant to the subject!)  for a meal ;) *hungry ******* Mmmm, fooooood. Brilliant plan. ******* I agree. Can't wait!

  18. Date: 10-19-2005 Authors: Various students Subject: Shadowplay & 1965-66 Anti-communist killings (reading 2 & historian perspective) Yeah, fear of communism and anti-communist rhetoric persists to this day in Indonesia.  Under Megawati there was still a lot of anti-communist legislation alive and well, although I'm not sure what's happened to that now.  In Indonesia they have these identity cards that everyone has to carry around, and if you've ever been proven to be or even suspected of being a communist sympathiser it is branded on your identity card for life.  If I'm not mistaken i think there are still certain restrictions (or there were until quite recently) on certain activities if you have that brand.

  19. Date: 10-19-2005 Authors: Various students Subject: Shadowplay & 1965-66 Anti-communist killings (reading 2 & historian perspective) I think maybe one of the greatest fears Indonesian leaders have had in relation to communism is just that in a divided nation it is harder to maintain unity.  This is especially important for Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 13000 islands, all of which have multiple ethnic groups, customs, dialects, religions, etc.  We have already witnessed the result of East Timor, and separatist struggles in Aceh have been long and bloody.  The unity of Indonesia is a falsity that has been created through such things as the appropriation of a national language (Bahasa Indonesia).  National unity is propagated every day, every where, and I think that communism posed a great threat to that unity.  It is also true that freedom of expression was restricted severely and is only just beginning to become more open.  I'll come back later.  What does everyone else think?

  20. Date: 10-19-2005 Authors: Various students Subject: Shadowplay & 1965-66 Anti-communist killings (reading 2 & historian perspective) I agree with you re Indonesia's fear of becoming a fractured state and the perceived threat of communism bringing about its demise. I think that this was a general fear in most states in the Cold War era of 'reds under the beds' and domestic conspiracy bringing down the government and destroying the state entity. The fact that Indonesia is composed of a plethora of diverse and culturally different regions/islands that have been forcibly squished together only compounds this fear. Forcing a language and a culture onto an already existing culture only creates resentment and rebellion- East Timor managed to cede from Indonesia with foreign help and Aceh and Irian Jaya are fighting furiously for their right to self-determination. This resentment could also foster communism as a way to achieve independence - obviously Jakarta knows this and has thoroughly tried to crush any emerging communist sentiment.
