Hello from Indonesia!
New friend made during our hike at Batutumonga hill.
Hey guys!
Sorry for the lack of update lately. With graduation week followed by two weeks away in Indonesia, it’s almost impossible for me to keep up with my blog – let alone have you to keep up with me!
But as I sit here seeing my friends practice for our performance tonight, I can’t help but think about how I should SHOULD tell you guys what has been up.
GRADUATION – 23rd November
I finally graduated and a legit Bachelor of Arts graduate!
The day after my graduation, I had to go to the airport early in the morning for my big 2-week study trip to Indonesia – specific Makassar and Toraja in South Sulawesi!
‘In Search of Makassar & Toraja’ – 24th Nov to 7 Dec
It’s already towards the end of our journey and boy was it a great one! Some highlights during our trip.
- Visited Chinatown in Makassar
- Engaged with the villagers of Kampung Pisang
- Visited the baby graves and stone graves in Tana Toraja
- Hiked for 4 hours on the Batutumonga hill passing hilly rice fields, traditional Torajan villages before finally collapsing in the van.
- Watched a traditional Torajan funeral ceremony where there were mass slaughtering/offering of pigs and buffaloes.
I will hopefully get to talk more about my trip once I get hold of pictures. But for now, feel free to go through the links as well as our trip’s blog as a whole. There are TONS of really interesting posts there as well as daily videos for you :)
Here are some pictures so far!
