Last month my family and I went to Toraja to attend Grandpa’s funeral.
It was my first time to go to such a ceremony. We gathered there with our kin
in the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite elaborate. It took about a week.
Several days before the ceremony was done, grandpa’s body was kept in a series
of houses arranged in a circular row around an open field called tongkonan. His
corpse was dressed in a fine wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs
and buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we
wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffin.
Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on an open platform beneath
the granary.
Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the wooden puppet and a
funeral tower called lakian. The next phase of the ceremony was held in this

were feasting, chanting, and dancing.

Last holiday I went
to Paris. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught
me a few words of French. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did
not understand a word. Every day, I thought about postcards. My holidays passed
quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends. On the last day I made a
big decision, I got up early and bought thirty seven cards. I spent the whole
day in my room, but I did not write a single card!
