Since Barack Obama first became a US presidential candidate in 2008, this humble elementary school building has become something of a tourist destination. Barack Obama attended SDN Menteng 01 from 1969 until 1971, where he was affectionately known as Barry. Since Mr. Obama ascended to the most powerful office in the world, the U-shaped school has become known as Obama School. Obama studied here under the Indonesian name of Barry Soetoro and if you head down to Menteng, it’s possible to take a sneak peek at the two class rooms in which the current American president once sat and did his sums.
On the school’s gate a plaque has been installed bearing the Inscription “Barack Hussein Obama II, the 44th President of United States of America attended this school from 1976-1971”.

Hurricanes generally do not hit the West Coast, and rarely make it as far north as Canada. In the western Pacific Ocean, hurricanes are called typhoons.

Dear Enes-a,
Actually, there’s nothing special about my allowance. Perhaps, mine is the same as yours. Usually my father gives me 300.000 rupiah a week, and my mother gives me 200,000 a day. They give me a lot of money because they are worried that I need it for emergencies. I’m foreigner, and it would be terrible it I got stuck somewhere and need money to get home. I don,t have extra income, but sometimes when I meet my parents friend, they give me money as a present.
I spend my money when I go out on eating, shopping, watching movies, playing billiard or sometimes just hanging around in a café. The money I get from my parents is quite a lot, but when I go shopping and I see something I like even if it is a million rupiah, I always buy it. But when I do this I have no money left at the end of the month and I have to go out less. What about you?
