Dear Bella..
I found out something from wikipedia.. =)
And I found out something cool about my heritage..
I'm Javanese due to my dad.. But in reality I'm
mixed Javanese, Bugis and little Dutch due to my great-grandparents..
Anyway.. About javanese:
*The second
largest Malay group were the
Javanese.
*They came from
Java in the
Dutch East Indies (modern Indonesia).
* In the mid-19th century, they came and worked as ironsmiths, leather makers as well as spice merchants and religious books dealers.
*Percentage of Javanese (1990): 17.2%
About bugis:
*The
Bugis came from the
Celebes Islands in Indonesia.
*They were well known for a long time as maritime traders.
*They had to sail to distant land and fight indigenous tribes. They rarely lost and acquired a reputation as
fierce warriors.*Percentage of Bugis (1990): 0.4%
