F.A: Since when do speak you French?
ACS: Soon two years. But I cannot write it. I took courses with the Alliance Française, then I preferred to trott myself in the street, to speak, look at television. When one is accustomed to learning from the songs, one records the sounds more quickly. In Indonesia, each one speaks its dialect at the house, the indonésien at the school, English with the college. There is the practice of three languages.

F.A.: Traditional music indo-nésienne you-A it influenced?
ACS: Enormously. Small, I followed courses of dance balinaise and lesson of piano. At the house my father played us of the guitar and made us tales. My mother sang us song Javanese. But it adored Elvis Presley and Aline of Christophe, the only French song which I knew. I grew with the traditions of my mother and the old collection of albums of my father: Stable-lad Zeppelin, Sleep Them. Two worlds side by side.
F: Which image had occident?
ACS: Snow!, In Indonesia one imagines that it resembles the snow of the freezer. Ca Na nothing to see!C' is in it conspicuous to fall here that I became in love with Paris.
F.A: What do you like of other in France?
ACS: The interbreeding, the alive world musk still which has London. And then here, one can say not. Over there, one preferred to invent other answers, one does not like to put people badly has ease. I learned how to say not. And to explain why too.
F.A: You feel of exile?
ACS: I am lion of at home, but ç' approached me still more my country. The question that you pose to me transport there me. In fact, I am never smelled as indonésienne as now.
