As quoted from the blog gitacinta.multiply.com, in the year 1526 Sultan Suriansyah establish the kingdom on the edge of the Kuin and Barito river which later became the forerunner of the Banjarmasin.On the banks of the river is also a traditional trading center began to grow. Besides Muara Kuin floating market in Banjarmasin, other floating markets are in the Lok Baintan above Martapura River. But the buoyant market here is not as popular as the Muara Kuin Banjarmasin possibly because the location is quite far from downtown.To be able to enjoy the exoticism of the floating market, we can rent a motor boat called Kelotok boat. The price to rent a Kelotok ranged from Rp 50,000 to Rp 70.000 (US $ 6 - 9) depends on the number of passengers.
A Trip from downtown to Banjarmasin Kuin floating market takes about one hour by kelotok boat, whereas with the land transport only takes about 15 minutes.By boat we can see cultural kelotok Banjar people who sell vegetables, cakes, food and drink typical of Banjarmasin, like Soto Banjar can be enjoyed from a boat (if not using kelotok) or can transact directly from boat to boat.Floating market is held every day from 5 until 8 am.

Originally cows used as processing power for fields.
To plow the cow work, processing rice field soil, it worked and the barren land was turned into fertile soil.Seeing the good ideas and bring positive results, of course, village residents followed his prince. Finally the ground all over the island which was originally Sapudi arid, fertile soil that could be planted with rice. And the Results people of Madura can produce their own foodAfter the harvest, came as an expression of joy for the abundant harvest Prince Ketandur have the initiative to invite people in her village to hold a cattle race.The area of wetland that has been harvested used for Cow race.
Finally, cow racing tradition until now continues to grow and preserved. Some equipment that is important in kerapan sapi are kaleles and pangonong, 'pangangguy and rarenggan' (clothing and jewelry), 'rokong' (a tool to cow for a surprise sprint). In Cow's races, they do not miss the 'saronen' (the instrument of driving kerapan).
Device consists of saronen, drums, kenong, kempul, krecek and gongs.People PartyThe cows that worth 30.000 US $!!!Generally, a party of the people, organizing Kerapan Cows are also very enthused by the Madurese community. Each time the even is estimated cow's races, there are 1000 - 3000 present society. In the party among the people and society of Madura, they merge into one in an atmosphere of sportsmanship and fun. To perform the a healthy body for calf pairs will cost up to 4 million rupiahs per pairs of cattle for food and other maintenance.
That cost is for various herbal food and medicine and dozens of chicken eggs per day, even more so before competed in the arena karapan.Based on community tradition of people karapan owners, the animal was parachuted into the arena before the wounded in the buttocks that is scraped with a nail until his skin bled for to run fast.

Kecak Dance describe the Ramayana story ehen the time line of apes help Rama against Ravana. However, Kecak sanghyang comes from the ritual, namely the tradition of dancing, the dancers will be in unconscious condition, to communicate with God or the spirits of the ancestors and then convey its expectations to the public.Based on the references from wikipedia, although this Kecak Dance Typical Balinese dance, but Kecak dance was created by foreign artists, he was Walter Spies, the painter from Germany. Around 1930's Wayan Limbak worked with German painter Walter Spies to create the Kecak dance based on traditional Sanghyang and parts of the story of Ramayana. Wayan Limbak popularizing this dance while traveling the world with his troupe of Balinese dancers.If we are talking about the island of Bali, of course we'll talk about a harmony between art, culture and religious life. Not only limited to the discourse, the people of Bali indeed embody harmonization in every joint of their lives.More great again, they've been doing since time immemorial and still continues until this day, one form of manifestation of such harmonization is the art of traditional Balinese dance.Most types of dance in Bali combine elements of art, culture and religion, one example is the Kecak Dance is already well known internationally. In a linguistic example, Banten people use the language they called 'Sunda-Banten', ie language which shows some differences compared with other Sundanese language, particularly in the intonation.Regardless of the similarities and differences in cultural issues that cultivated by the Sundanese and Banten, Banten is a tribes that located in Banten province.As other ethnic communities in Indonesia, Banten people also have different kinds of traditional arts.
One of them who later became a label of Banten society that call DEBUS. That is, if someone hears the word 'DEBUS', so what they remind is Banten in Indonesia or Indonesia.The arts of Power is referred has to do with tarikat Rifaiah carried by Nurrudin Ar-Raniry to Aceh in the 16th century.
The followers of this religious organization while it is in a state of epiphany (an infinite joy because 'face to face' with God), often strike with various sharp objects into their bodies.Filosofi yang mereka gunakan adalah ' lau haula walla Quwata ilabillahil 'aliyyil adhim ' atau tiada daya upaya melainkan karena Allah semata.The philosophy they use is 'lau haula Walla Quwata ilabillahil 'aliyyil Adhim' no power and act but but from God. So, if God permits, then the knifes, machetes, swords or bullets would not have hurt them.In Banten at the beginning this martial art used to developed of teachings Islam. However, in the Dutch colonial period and at the time of Sultan Agung Tirtayasa, this art is used to evoke the spirit of warriors and people of Banten to fight the Dutch.Today, by the times, this martial arts serves as an entertainment only.Debus PlayersThe players DEbus consists of a sheik (leader of the game), some people pezikir, players, and drummers. 1-2 weeks before the show usually Debus Palyers will implement abstinence-specific restrictions to be saved when doing the show, namely:(1) No Alcohol,(2) No Gambling,(3) No Stealing(4) No Make love with her wife or other womanVenue and Equipment of the GameDebus is usually done in the yard at the time of the holding of other events that involve many people. Equipment used in the game are:(1) Debus with a rod(2) Machete use to slice the body Debus player,(3) knife to slice the player's body,(4) bulbs that will be chewed or eaten(5) pan used to fry an egg on the head of the player,(6) coconut;(7) kerosene and others.The Games.
The next activity in a Debus game in the form of a variety of attractions, such as: puncture the stomach by using the whistle; peeling coconuts and break through by breakng into player's head; cut coconuts and burn it on the head; fry eggs and crackers on the head; slashed body with a sharp weapon like a machete and a knife; burn the body with kerosene or a walk in the embers of the fire; eating and chewing glass bulb; climb the ladder of the steps are the eyes of machete-sharp machete with bare feet, and flush the body with sulfur acid (H2SO4). But unfortunately the Dayak tattoo that was so noble, that describes the 'torch' that will light the way to the owner to the nature of eternity, has now shifted its value. Now, no more Dayak tattoos are considered as the symbol for 'cool effect', especially for the younger generation.The presumption tattoo as a symbol of valor is similar to public opinion outside the Dayak, tattoos usually identified with the thugs who can say proudly. Bedhaya Ketawang Dance is a very sacred and is only held once a year. It is said in it danced the Queen of South sea participate on the dance to respect to the successors of the Mataram Kings dynasty.Treasury Beksan (dance) tradition Surakarta Sultanate palace consists of various kinds.Bedoyo KetawangViewed from its function, the dance can be divided into 3 types. That dance has magical properties of religious, depicting the war dance, and dance that contains the story (drama).Each dance is created because there is history that is affected by the atmosphere at that time.
Various types of dance created by pengramu keraton (the Palace advisor) it's not he make by him self or imagination, but combined with input from the supernatural creature who has a good relationship with the royal family. When I lived in a student mess at Yogkarta, I'm getting close with a friend who came from South Sulawesi. He talked about the ceremony about the massive death, and the corpses that are not buried, but placed in natural caves.I was surprised-astonished. Left just like that? I can not believe it. How could the body not be buried in the soil, or not burned in cremation?I was more surprising when my friend told me, people who died, are stored first in the house, and treated as if he was still alive, it's just, he's in a state of 'illness' and continue to be provided to eat and drink every day.
Can you Imagine to living with the dead in same house? Still according to his story, the bodies will be given special spices then wrapped and layered fabric to resemble a big pillow.many people in Toraja house smell fragrant spices.
![Lil Lil](http://www.oldtoolbox.com/images/eBay Current Auctions/Little People Toys/Lil Kingdom Castle Main.jpg)
Foreigners will consider it usual fragrant spices typical of Toraja. Only those who recognize is the people of Toraja, the smell was spicy corpse or not. Hmmm!Well, after several months, or even years, when the family is able to throw a party to the dead called Solok, which is customary before delivering the body of the party to his final resting place, namely on the cliff of the mountain, or in a cave.This cave was once banned for the public. But now ordinary people can be visited.didn't they smell of corpses? 'I screamed spontaneously.My friend shook his head.I'm curious. It is impossible until I see it with my own eyes.And then, some time later, I watch TV shows that cover the dark cave where the skull was lined-row with the surrounding bones. I think my friend tell the truth.and than I wondering if I could see it alive., I wish I could go there.Well, some time ago I have a vacation with my husband to Toraja.
This is the third time I visited the place that called 'land in the clouds'.Well, a unique place visited by many foreign and domestic tourists are. Grave.the place for some people is horrible, changed become a tourist attraction by the local government.Here are some of the famous burial site locations in Toraja.1. LondaThis is where the nobles Tangdinoq buried. Until now, this place is still in use.We see the Tau Tau (a kind of artificial doll deceased during life) and crates which hung on the outside, just above the trail where visitors milling about. The guide said, families still often come pilgrimage and bring drinks and cigarettes for those who died. This guide would help slingshot us posing with the skull that. He also fluently spoke of this place.
I asked to the guide. 'What if crate hanging outside it fall?' Guide replied calmly.' It just left alone, will not be collected, will not be moved. There is a plague that would happened if the bones were removed without the customary feast. So only just a wild animal or trampled people, dared to move them. So to change the location of the skull and other bones that have to with more traditional party.
Imagine, a party to 'rest' here, and the party again if you want to change the position of the bone bone. How much it cost for this party huh?According to their belief, bodies had been returned to nature, then let nature do anything about it. Humans can no longer in doing things add modifiers.Pernah terjadi, kata sang guide, seorang pengunjung, -pelajar SMP peserta study tour dari luar wilayah Toraja- kesurupan setelah dia sengaja memindahkan sebuah tengkorak untuk menakuti dan mengisengi kawan-kawannya.Actually, there are other alleys deeper, but the tour guide said, the course is more slippery and steep, not to mention the thin oxygen in there.first, I thought, we will smell 'the smell of the decay'. The smell of rotting corpses so, but, i dont.2. LemoA little bit different with Londa, Lemo burial site is in the cliff. So this big rock and then punched to the body of people put into it. Tau Tau lined placed in a hole, like a man sitting behind a window.
The higher tomb, is belong to higher social status as well.Lemo and Tau Tau in 'Windows'. At Lemo, under the window Tau Tau existing footpath to the left.
Just follow the path, then if you do not get lost:) You will exit through several workshops craftsmen Tau Tau, then you will be treated to a paddy field with beautiful views.You can buy souvenirs here Toraja, or just look around.3. SuayaLocated in the district Sanggala. Burial site of the kings and nobles Toraja is believed to be descendants Tamborolangi, deities of the Toraja people's confidence that teach the origins of cultivation and traditional rituals. Here there are also tau-tau. In this Suaya site, there is a relatively steep stairs, now, when he got on top, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery stretches from the heights.4.TampangalloBurial site shaped natural cave, almost similar to Londa.Here we were wrong driveway.
We found a small, dark hallway. We're not sure what's in it.Want to go in but. How about getting lost inside?
Or oxygen-thin? The hall was very dark. Then I think ii should shoot it, to take a picture. Blitz camera is definitely sharper than our eyes. And I see on my digital camera screen, a relatively clean hallway and staircase.dark alley, can be seen from the camera shotsEventually we ventured to enter desperate, groping and track-trail safe footing while to figure this hall in the shape of the camera.Dark Hall light up by camera blitzFinally, on the other end of the visible light. We move on toward the light, down a bit.
Its huge cave area,clean and brightly lit.We had chuckled in amusement. It's another cave burial site. Then we fell silent as we looked like a row of skulls. It's another cave burial site.The difference here with the Londa, here is relatively cleaner and more orderly. Also out of sight (erong) crates that are still new. All ancient and Tau Tau is also looks very old.
In some places in Toraja, the community has a unique culture, to enter into the stone coffins.This stone is drilled, and called burrows.According to local people that we meet, to make this hole, the cost is equivalent to 30 million rupiah (3.500 US $).In this rock, old lady with a legitimate descendants can be buried here. So, in a canal, dozens of frameworks can be entered preceded customary party. Prior held a party, bodies will be stored in the house.The tomb of the famous stone and perhaps largest in Lokamata Toraja, on the slopes Sesean. To go over here to be extra careful because the road is very narrow. No Tau Tau here, and underneath there are many fragments of stone makes the burrow.5.
Lots of large rocks scattered around this area, there is also a stone which is only used for one hole.While other segments of society, chose to build patane, or house the tomb, built of brick, cement and other building materials.On the one patane, can be decades in the framework put into it. And sometimes decorated with Tau Tau. Today, the region has issued rules concerning restrictions patane development.Of course there are still bodies buried in Toraja community in the burial ground like we know today.
They call it 'planted'.Source:www.nanaharmanto.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/burial-sites-of-toraja.
