Hotels, shops change names

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Hotels, restaurants and stores
throughout the province have begun to replace foreign names with
Indonesian ones.

Central Java Governor Soewardi has asked restaurants, hotels
and shops in the province to give up their foreign names
before Indonesia's 50th Independence Day, which falls on Aug. 17.

Two hotels in Purwokerto have changed their names,
respectively, from the "Queen Garden Hotel" to the "Hotel Taman
Ratu" and from the "Dynasty Hotel" to "Hotel Dinasti".

A number of restaurants in the town have followed suit, with
"Satay House Corner" becoming "Rumah Sate Pojokan" and "Softy
Drink Sweet Corner" becoming "Sudut Manis Minuman Lembut".
