Example text
I was for nine months in Shiba¯m. Not that Shiba¯m was the aim of my travel, but there I could learn the Arabic language. As a result of his frequent travels back to Bali, he had the opportunity to bring back valuable items for sale. His years of work in Saudi paid off well. The items he brought with him to Singaraja covered the cost of his journeys and more. He continues his story: Each time I brought plenty of goods for sale, woollen carpets in particular. I was allowed to bring up to 30 kg, but I used to pay the people in the customs, making it possibly for me to bring with me up to 70 kg.
Then we went to school, and now we know they told us lies. ’ […] For us it is a problem that neither ourselves nor or children master the Arabic language. Even if some informants used the terms Yemen and Hadramawt interchangeably, my Hadrami informants tend to distinguish themselves from Yemenis, of whom fewer families are said to reside in Indonesia. In the words of Hussain, ‘maybe one Yemeni for each 10 Hadrami migrated to Indonesia, perhaps only one in 20’. Like several other Hadramis I spoke to, he viewed Northern Yemen as a more backward place than Hadramawt.
In addition I have been able to pay for the education of my children. One of them has become an ‘We are modern Indonesians’ 35 engineer and another medical doctor, of great help to me when I happened to be ill. Many Hadramis around here, the first generation born here, have wasted what they inherited from their fathers, who saved carefully. Their children have started to use their heads (points to his head), and again they have started to save. Look at myself. I have saved for a long while, and invested in a lot of land.
