In study of Indonesian Islam, I was not only observer, also participant. In 1970/1 as a student in a pesantren, a boarding school. Between 1981 and 1988 I taught at the State Academy of Islamic Studies in Jakarta and Yogyakarta. This autobiographical notes describe events as unexpected inter/religious encounters.
