 Speaking Project’s Transcript
Maya : Good afternoon sir.
Phill : Hello.
Maya : What is your name?
Phill : My name is Phill.
Maya : Mr. Phill, Where are you from?
Phill : From Australia.
Maya : How long have you been in Pekanbaru?
Phill : One year and five month, long time.
All : *laugh*
Maya : Can you speak bahasa even a little?
Phill : Saye bise berkate sedikit.
All : *hooo *woooow
Maya : What are the first Indonesian words that you know?
Phill : Hello, selamat pagi, dan terimakasih.
Maya : What are the difficulties in learning bahasa?
Phill : The difficulty for me is remembering words, what word I must use when I speak
with people, to remember them so the words that I use a lot I can remember more
easily but the words that I don’t use I will forget it in the next day.All the way we
had that problem
Devi : What did you feel at the first time you came to Indonesia? Especially to pekanbaru?
Phill : When I arrived it was winter in Australia, so I quite happier here, I like the warm
weather, I don’t like the cold.
Devi : What kind of culture bumps did you experience in pekanbaru at the first time you
came here?
Phill : Umm… probably no real culture bumps because I travel to a few different countries
with different culture already, umm I think the difference here was something that
you do here it is like when you greet people you use your right hand because your
left hand is use for other things, ummm… and than, this when you’re walking down
the street and start everybody say hi mister, actually anything that they know in
English that’s what will they call up to you. So, that’s the difference.
Devi : So what do you think about people here?
Phill : Most people quite friendly, most people.
Devi : Are there any similarities about the way how people greet each other between
Indonesia and your country?
Phill : Ummm I think people here tend to say hello in the same way with people I know
here, and in Australia probably one main difference in how you greet someone is
like handshake, so that probably culture as well, so you don’t put at hand to shake
the hand of a female but you can quick *****and handshake here is very weak. It is
very loose hold rather than in Australia and America it is very strong, we use both
hand.
Nolanda : And about dressing, what do you think about Indonesian dressing style in
pekanbaru?
Phill : About the style of the clothes, peoples wear? Its I.. I evident like the modereus and
concervative way the people dress here, in western culture people wear as little as
possible to show off everything, it is weird sometime, good sometime, but weird
sometime but here with what women ***** more modesty in caring themselves
upits good to see people don’t need to show off their body to be accepted by society
or by other people.
Nolanda : Do you change your dress style in dressing when you are in Pekanbaru?
Phill : Surprisingly I wear the same clothes here, by long hand and a T-shirt or something
the style in a way here covered my shirt fit in with Indonesian culture and then I
bought some batik shirt probably in here also and I wear them some time.
Nolanda : So you know batik?
Phill : Yes I know batik
Nolanda : Do you have one?
Phill : I have three shirts, no four.
Nolanda : Have you ever worn it?
Phill : Yap. Yap
Nolanda : What do you think about that?
Phill : I am very peaky when I come to buy clothes I am very choosy I might look at same
100 shirt and I like one of them its same like batik shirt I might, I will be in the store
and after that showing me this, showingme this, showing me this, look at here, look
at here. I just have to go through the rack of clothes just like this one look interesting
and nope.
Yuli : Okay let’s start, now about food, what was the first food that you ate in pekanbaru
or Indonesia?
Phill : Aaaa too long ago I can’t remember, mm I know that what I normally eat here when
I eat out mm with some the.. like grill fish *ikan bakar* mm I like beef rendang
*sapi rendang* aa nasi goreng. Every one tell me how bad that jengkol is *crowded*
I don’t know the smell the people told me that it changes your breath after the word I
can’t smell my own breath.
Yuli : What do you think about Indonesian food?
Phill : Generally I like it, mm what I don’t like is everything that deep fried in oil, quite a
lot of food, quite a lot of street snack is very oily, you grab your hand when you
finish eating and then you spend about 5 minute licking the oil off your hand, mmm
but generally like from the ***** the chicken, the duck occasionally you find the
duck, generlly I love the food here. I don’t I get my food without extra chilly no
*cabe* too spicy for me cause ***** like the gulai, the rendang more bumbu, I
found that for me it is spicy.
Yuli : So what is your favorite food?
Phill : Beef *rendang* and *ayam penyet*
Yuli : I like it too.
Phill : Good ayam penyet, it iss really nice peeky.
Yuli : So what will you do if you got bored in Indonesian food?
Phill : I’m not bored in Indonesian food yet. When I travel taste the local food the local
cuisine whenever I travel because Australian food is very.. is no particular dish
unique in Australian food or onto the world now, there is nothing particularly like
here you have fried rice, beef rendang, other dishes also mm is not like Australia I in
Australia I canhavewestern food all the time. When I travel and I eat Indonesian
food or Japanese food or South American food because it taste betterit comes from
outside, I eat as much as I can.
Yeni : And then what about transportation? It is hard for you to use transportation in
Pekanbaru?
Phill : Nope, when I go to the new country that one of the first thing I ***** have to do is
how to use the public transportation mm help by my wife around town and number I
can stop the use, trans metro bus, oplets.
Yeni : And what do you think about Indonesia transportation?
Phill : Not reliable, dirty oplets are okay because so many people come by but like the
Trans Metro bus some time I can wait 5 minute for the bus sometime like 45 minute
and that’s when I arrived at the bus stop when its normally come. The bus is not
 always stop either some people at the bus stop and me at the bus stop and the bus
just go whusssh and we say uiiit.
Yeni : What do you think about the traffic jam in Pekanbaru?
Phill : That’s why I don’t have a car or a motorcycle here traffic jam mmm to slow and
traffic here, their just crazy people drive yaa, and in Australia also ***** and here in
Indonesia you need to be a patient driver and I am not patient.
Khudri : As we know that Indonesia culture and Australia culture are different right? So how
do you adjust yourself to be adapted in Indonesia culture?
Phill : It is a little bit hard to adapt into a culture, be able to accept new experiences that
you are going to have and the different way of life the people live so you can adapt
yourself easily and not be offended by thing not be discourage by thing try new thing
that’s quite easy I would say blend in, ya but you can adapt in other culture.
Khudri : Does it take time?
Phill ; Something take time to get use to like traffic here mmm and then like try to figure
out the oplet is on the way that you are going or not, or you get the wrong one you
cannot took the wrong one because it will go the different way. In the early day I
took the wrong one so it go to the different direction so is stop and find the other
one.
Khudri : Okay, what is the hardest thing to be blend in Indonesian culture?
Phill : I think is being in the different ***** when I walking out the street everybody look
at you, you meet people at the street and they want start talking to you in English or
in Bahasa Indonesia often people sometime just start chattering me in Indonesian I
have no idea what they saying. I learn couple of basic word like kamu bias pelan-
pelan tolong it tells you to slow down and they still talk like a freak train like a
thousand word a minute, I think that is only the ***** here people always call mister
wherever you are is sort like why I don’t like being a singer or a actor or be famous
so many people recognizing me, like your celebrity everybody want to say hy to you
or talk to you or get you to say something to them, I think that is the hardest thing to
get use to or be blend with. I ***** as best as I can, to be as friendly as I can with
everybody with but sometime its just keep on walking 10 meter feels like 100 meter
and I pretend not to hear them and big truck come at that time…. so it’s a little bit
hard.
