Second day at BPPT

Today we spent the whole day extracting knowledge from the people we are working with at BPPT, understanding in depth their processes and organizational structure. 



It was outstanding to see how far they went to help us understand their work flow. We had a simulation of how an application is submitted. We "lived" the process from the moment a citizen (one of us in the simulation) enters the BTTP office until they get their license. It was a great start of documenting the current state - especially considering we had to leverage our translator most of the time, as our bahasa is still 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Speaking of language... Tip of the day.
Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world. Of its large population, the number of people who speak Indonesian fluently is fast approaching 100%, making Indonesian one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
Most Indonesians, aside from speaking the national language, are often fluent in another regional language (examples include Javanese, Sundanese and Balinese) which are commonly used at home and within the local community.
The Indonesian name for the language is Bahasa Indonesia (literally "the language of Indonesia").
