Indonesia youth flock to Japanese lessons
Rikho Sinurat studied Japanese at his Indonesian high school because he was a fan of the best-selling Dragon Ball and One Piece manga comics, but he continued in university for a more prosaic reason. "I wanted to do French at university, but my parents told me there are many more Japanese companies in Indonesia so I switched to Japanese," says the 23-year-old, who now works in the Jakarta office of Pacific Metals, a Japanese nickel producer.
