"Tonah Toraja" Rantepao by ChrisThao

Tonah Torajah is a place that really excited my senses. I somewhat label this as the city of the dead. The funeral processions and burial rites there are very different from the Christian faith that I was raised with. It was really an eye opener. Once again, the tours were nice and our guide was a great man who made our experiences very pleasant. During dinner time, he refused to eat with us. He said he didn't want to intrude on our time, but I insisted he eat with us. He finally agreed, but on one condition and that is he dine alone, leaving us to ourselves. Very thoughtful of him to do so.

• Pros:Quiet, secluded, and rich in culture and history
• Cons:Reality setting in.....mortality revisited.
