Short stories

As a reader of The Jakarta Post, especially the Sunday edition, I deplore your short stories. Actually, I love all your short stories, because they are interesting. But why always translated pieces? Why don't you give a chance to Indonesians or expatriates to write original short stories in English and publish them? I think they will prove to be more lively.

Also, it would be much better if your paper included a travel guide or travel stories in your Sunday editions.
