Inside Toraja

Do you know which ethnic use this model for a house? This is called Toraja house, or called Suku Toraja (Ethnic Toraja) particularly in Makassar. Two years ago, me and my friends Dhea and Yuka decided to go traveling. And we choose Makassar as our destination in order to try the Trans Studio amusement park in Makassar city. It was new in Indonesia so we were like very exited to play all the ride and we thought it was just like disneyland (teen girl love dreaming). But reality hit when we know it just way too far from disneyland and yes, media very smart covered a news for Trans Studio. I'm a bit dissapointed cause most of the ride was belong to the kids. We stayed at my aunty's house but on the next day me and myfriends decided to go to Toraja city (one of tourists area in Makassar) it's a long way journey cause it took 8 hours. The tourists object that we curious the most was a unique Toraja house and the cave where the umber of human corpse. Well it becomes more and more exited but creepy at the same time. First we take a look to Toraja house, the shape of the roof is move upward and it must be a philosophy of this house but I don't remember anymore. And they usually keep the human corpse inside the roof if they didn't have money yet to make a death ceremonial cause it will takes hundreds of million rupiah. They have a really big death ceremonial in the purpose to appriciate the deadmen of their life and to share happiness to others, not sadness. They will bought a buffalo, pig, buy the space in the cave and everything and it costly for sure. So it was really unique for me, it's different from my religion which is muslim. Then it was very interesting when we permitted to take a look inside the cave. I admit it was creepy but the guide man was really good even though he's a bit creepy as well. And I saw many skull head in that cave, it's kind of state of stress cause it was scary and I don't know why my friends were fine about that. It was a rarely moment in my life, took a vacation in a different place with different cultural background and lot of superstitions in it. Well it's great for additional information, therefore I love traveling.
