the Toraja are an ethnic group indigenous
to a mountainous region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Their population is approximately 650,000, of which 450,000 still live in the regency of Tana Toraja
("Land of Toraja"). Most of the population is Christian,
and others are Muslim
or have local animist
beliefs known as aluk ("the way"). The Indonesian government
has recognized this animist belief as Aluk To Dolo ("Way of the
Ancestors").
The word toraja comes from the Bugis language's
to riaja, meaning "people of the uplands". The Dutch
colonial government named the people Toraja in 1909. Torajans
are renowned for their elaborate funeral rites, burial sites carved into rocky
cliffs, massive peaked-roof traditional houses known as tongkonan,
and colorful wood carvings. Toraja funeral rites are
important social events, usually attended by hundreds of people and lasting for
several days.
Before the 20th century, Torajans lived in autonomous
villages, where they practised animism and were relatively untouched by the
outside world. In the early 1900s, Dutch
missionaries first worked to convert Torajan highlanders to Christianity. When
the Tana Toraja regency was further opened to the outside world in the 1970s,
it became an icon of tourism in Indonesia: it was exploited by
tourism developers and studied by anthropologists.
By the 1990s, when tourism peaked, Toraja society had changed significantly,
from an agrarian model — in which social life and customs were outgrowths of
the Aluk To Dolo—to a largely Christian society.
wait for the next post, I will post about attractions Toraja

But if learning is rarely used, the brain will be blunt, it is difficult to understand the explanation, it's easy to forget.
Although not specific, the signs of the brain that starts "rusty" if you read fast asleep, while reading a book to linger, it nyanthol guns. Therefore not interested then read the book, being passive, reluctant to ask and so on.
What is meant here is not just about learning to learn in formal schools. Because, there are times when studying at "school of life" value is much more important than studying in school. From there it can draw directly the various sciences. For example: The value of ritual, human values, honesty, fairness, tolerance and other
People who stop learning are like dead but not buried. Because life is essentially a study. Learn to stop when it's so new tomb occupants.
Successful people never stop to learn, is also constantly looking for ways to learn how it can be effective. People who want to succeed always allocate time to read and set aside funds to buy the book ...
