The entire Asian debate community traipses to the tune of the "Merry Month of May", as the days close in on the 2nd United Asians Debating Championships.
debateIndonesia is all set for this event with our May lineup! Here's a glimpse of what lies in store for debateIndonesia readers:
Bitten - To mark the 15th year since an Indonesian team made its debut on the All Asians debate circuit, debateIndonesia gets in touch with Patsy Widakuswara, Perry Harahap, and Achmad Sukarsono and asks them to reminisce the joy of competing on behalf of Indonesia for the very first time. Photos and cameo appearances included 
Matter Loaded - Our guest contributor for May is Patsy Widakuswara, a respected TV journalist for Voice of America who is now based in Washington, DC. This month, she shares one of her favourite resources for US-based issues.
Tournament of the Month - No prizes for guessing that our TOTM for May is the 2nd UADC. Get to know the ins and outs of organising a tournament of regional proportions, spanning all corners of Asia! Nicole Ng (Botswana Worlds Octofinalist, ESL Category) shares her own and her committee's experience with debateIndonesia readers.
Movers and Shakers - Meet Marc Castrodes, an ex-debater from the Mindanao State University (Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines) who is now a successful litigator, public speaking trainer, TV show host, entrepreneur, and politician. His is not your typical tale of 'rural boy makes it big in the city' . Read how debating changed his life, and find out how debate can change yours 
One of Us - The University of Macau is hosting the 2nd UADC, and is a growing contender in the Asian and Australasian scene. Learn more about and compare notes with a fellow comrade-in-arms.
debateIndonesia is also delighted to announce that we will be running a special column called 'Coach's Corner' where guest coaches answer training questions from our readers.
Also, catch the latest updates as they happen at ALSA UI and English Fiesta this weekend. debateIndonesia's volunteers and live reporters will cover both tournaments.
