Introduce Posting

Still busy with office job and just have a little time to write. So I better write this posting than nothing to upload. So, this is only introduce posting. ITB is one of the most famous and biggest university in Indonesia. First Republic of Indonesia persident, Soekarno, was graduated from this institute. Sometimes I wondering why Institut Technology not become university. Many institut changed to university with opened social science majors like economy, languange, administation and etc. ITB not do that. ITB consitent become institute faced globalization of education. The best three of public university in Indonesia is ITB, Universitas Indonesia in Depok, and Univeritas Gajahmada in Yogyarkata. But you can find School Business of Management at ITB campus in Bandung have four programs: Bachelor’s Degree in Management (Undergraduate Program), Master’s Degree in Business Management (MBA Program), Master’s Degree in Science Management (MSM Program), and Doctor’s degree Management (Doctoral Program). Near ITB you can also find Bandung Zoo. I was study magister at ITB for two years but never been there because no one of my friends refused my invitation.

Why I choose this name for my link. I had nostalgia with this name. I was studied my magister program in this institut. Yeah ITB is Institut Teknologi Bandung (Bandung Institut of Technology) in West Java. But some already take first this link name. If you googling can find this used for blog Inside the box (itb). So I used i-t-b. But itb itself means information-technology-business. Looking good and simple. This is the fisrt time I upload my posting, another posting soon will upload. Have I nice day.
