Where Are You Coming From?
Patrick Gilfether ‘15, Syiah Kuala University Fellow
“Dari mana?” As much as a request for information, it is a greeting. When a stranger enters your shop: “Dari mana?” When a neighbour returns home: “Dari mana?” When you enter the office after lunch: “Dari Mana?” When you stop to fill up your bike at the gas station: “Dari mana?”
