Torajan Tribe

We went to Makassar city and the governor welcomed us with a traditional dance of 20 girls.

Here is a photo of a beautiful Sulawesi girl with my wife.


Yesterday we spend 12-1/2 hour drive (long trip) inland to visit the Torajan tribe. They are famous in the Tongkonan house and unusual funeral rites.
