First sentence: Boarding the Garuda Airlines airbus for the final international portion of my journey on 17 July 1993, I was startled out my jet lag by a small item in the events calendar of the inflight magazine: South Sulawesi's fourth annual Culture Week (Ind. Pekan Budaya) festival, scheduled to begin that very day in Ujung Pandang, the provincial capital where I was about to begin new research.
