Etiquette course opens to public

YOGYAKARTA: Following a successful conclusion to a recent etiquette course for children, Novotel Hotel Yogyakarta is now offering the same course for students and the public on Aug. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

"The course will be led by professional etiquette instructors," Novotel public relations assistant manager Dyah Retno Wikan said, adding that the course was designed to teach internationally recognized table manners.

Dining etiquette and basic knowledge on wine and its service form the key components of the course.

"We consider this important, because many still think negatively of wine, disregarding its positive elements ... when arranged appropriately with food," Dyah said.

Each course participant will receive a reference book and a certificate upon the completion of the course. Registration for the course closes on Aug. 26. Further information is available at 0274-580930. -- JP
