Indonesian friend wanted to help with journalism articles!

Hi everyone!

I am applying to university next year to do a course in journalism. I really wish to write about Indonesia while I'm here, so that I can have an interesting blog and so that I can submit the articles in my university application. The problem is - I only know 'Tidak' and 'Hati-Hati' in Bahasa Indonesian, and I need someone who speaks both Indonesian and English to help me out with interviews.

I can't afford to pay anyone :( but it would be a good way for an Indonesian person to practice their English. I am a qualified English teacher so can help with anything you need.

I am looking for a female friend, just because meeting men from the internet is never really a good idea. My partner will accompany me when we meet. Also, I would prefer it was someone living in Eastern Jakarta.

Hope to hear from someone soon!
