Herman
Winarto from Indonesia My parents gave me the name Herman, maybe because they want me to be like German people. They thought that Germans get a good education. Sometime I don't like my name because some people say the name Herman is Hermaprodite. My last name is also funny. I realize that my last name is between Chinese and Indonesian. Winarto is my last name: the letters of "wi" in Chinese mean my family name, and "Arto" is Indonesian. It means a good man or a nice guy. On
the other hand, a lot of my friend say my last name
incorrectly, and they say it like Wiranto, the name
of an Indonesian military leader. I just laugh and
I take this as a funny experience.
