Really like Aru, your guide. His accent might be strong, but we can understand him just right. He is very knowledgeable. Watching him explaining things is fascinating
I'va watched your videos especially in Makassar and Toraja so far, and I just wanna say thank you for visiting and showing our place, wish your next trips would be wonderful. Bless and health for you and your family
My wife grew up in the Eastern part of Indonesia and she did her workstudy near Toraja, her tales of the culture there is just mind-blowing! I was surprised,and I'm an Indonesian. Even my stepdaughter hasn't visited Toraja yet, but she's really enjoying watching the videos from your channel. Bless you and your family on your adventures!
Wow im amazed by how complex and expensive a ceremony could be.No wonder some of these people take years to send off their loved ones.Respect to them for being able to even afford 2-3 buffalos even thou they don't even earn like $30 daily.This video has been very interesting & informative.Arru is a great host,he has gd English for someone of his age.I also noticed that yr wife is a vegetarian.Hope she is coping well.With love from Singapore 🙌

Tedong saleko or the albino buffalo is considered sacred cause people believed that in the afterlife the white part of the buffalo will shine light to guide the dead spirit toward heaven. Thats why its more expensive.
@@BagsPackedFamily welcome to join our family celebration, located in Mengkendek (Tongkonan Binduk). As it is joy celebration in Toraja it is rambu tuka’ (smokes goes up) activities starts in the morning before sun goes down at 12:00.
watch out with mike tyson buffalo boommm!! 😂 bring some memory when i was in flores in local death ceremony they cut and cook a huge buffalo at a first day to provide food for one day to entire village, and the next morning a huge pig cook for breakfast and they do everyday for seven days
I went back and forth on if we need one because it's not really "graphic" or upsetting to the Torajan people. It's just normal life. We have a funeral video coming so I'll probably need to add the disclaimer.
@@BagsPackedFamily yes that's what I mean The next funeral video 😄 But it's okay to put on this one, because many outsiders will think about it as animal cruelty or something. Keep it up, I hope your family enjoy Indonesia with all the quirks 😁
@@BagsPackedFamily You are correct for putting the disclaimer, cuz what may seem normal in Toraja, it is indeed animal cruelty to some outsiders. Imagine having the rope in your nose and you can't even lay down/rest cuz the rope is so short, you have to stand still all day, can't walk, can't sleep, just like the buffalo.
HI BANG , COBA TEKAN LAYAR HP PADA POJOK SEBELAH KANAN ATAS.... DAN NANTI MUNCUL SUBTITLE INDONESIA DAN ENGLISH...LALU PILIH MENU INDONESIA... SETELAH AKAN MUNCUL DGN SENDIRINYA PADA LAYAR HP TEKS BAHASA INDONESIA
Surprised animal rights are not all over this, I understand tradition and all that, but hasnt the world moved on from that now ? This is pretty evil for the animals and needs to be shut down for good.
