THE<br />

FRIGHTENING<br />

CUSTOMS IN<br />

SULAWESI<br />

Text & photos: Hoang Bao<br />

When it comes to<br />

Indonesian tourism, Vietnamese<br />

tourists still seem unfamiliar<br />

with Sulawesi. We tend to<br />

think of places like Bali,<br />

Lombok, Bromo and Yogya.<br />

However, this country, which<br />

has a wide array of islands,<br />

boasts plenty of exceptional<br />

and splendid lands that attract<br />

many tourists. Even Indonesian<br />

people dream of setting foot<br />

on the unique islands of<br />

their country at least once.<br />

Being the fourth largest<br />

island in Indonesia and the<br />

eleventh largest in the world,<br />

Sulawesi is home to the Tana<br />

Toraja tribe who, amidst the<br />

mysterious mountains and<br />

forests of South Sulawesi,<br />

still preserve their startling<br />

customs as they have had for<br />

hundreds of years.<br />
