I was to
remain in Indonesia for seven years. I learned to speak bahasa Indonesia well
enough to communicate with market venders, bus conductors, shop-keepers and
passing girlfriends. In 1992 I applied for a job to work for Saudi Arabian
Airlines teaching Saudi trainee pilots and mechanics in Jeddah. Before leaving,
I had known an Englishman who had become a Moslem and taken the name Suleiman.
He was living at the Subud Centre in south Jakarta and had applied to go to

for the airlines and I felt that the time had come for me to make a change in
my life.............................................
