Untuk subtitle Bahasa Indonesia, tekan "CC" kemudian pilin pengaturan dan pilin "Indonesian."

Close your eyes. Imagine what your town looked like hundreds of years ago. Imagine the sites, sounds, and traditions they performed. Imagine the day-to-day activities, farming, and how your community functioned. In Tana Toraja, on one of Indonesia’s largest islands named Sulawesi, the traditional customs and language are still visible today. In this episode, we are invited to be a part of a traditional Torajan funeral and death rituals. We watch as family members gather from all over the world to celebrate the life and death of their loved ones. We listen to the presentation of the guests, the songs, the laughter, and even the slaughter of pigs. We eat delicious piong parmarrasan and sweet cakes, and we relax with guests while sipping Toraja coffee. We even witness the sacrifice of a buffalo (Mantinggoro Tedong), believed to be necessary for the human soul to make it to heaven. This is a funeral you won’t want to miss!

Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands! How do you know which ones to visit? Watch our Indonesian playlists to help you decide. We explored Raja Ampat (West Papua), Bali, Flores, and a little bit of Jakarta (Java). This family vacation was all about the island of Sulawesi.

WHO WE ARE: We are the Travel Hacking Teachers: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children. Seven years ago, we sold our home in Alaska, USA, and headed overseas. We are teachers and found fantastic teaching positions in India. Two years later, we moved to the United Arab Emirates. Three years after that, during the beginning of the pandemic, we made the move to our current teaching jobs in Indonesia. We love traveling and finding adventures as a family. We hope that our travels will inspire and provide our children with the confidence to meet new people, try new foods, and enjoy learning a new language. We hope our vlogs will inspire you to get out and travel, too!
