2. Tana Toraja Regency
Tana Toraja Regency (Torajaland, Land of the Toraja or Tator) is a regency (kabupaten) of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, home of Toraja
ethnic group people. There are three traditional methods of burial in Torajan society. The coffin, including any possessions which will
be needed in the afterlife, will be either put in a cave grave, a stone grave, or hung on a cliff. The wealthy are often buried in a stone
grave, carved out of the rocky cliff, which is usually an expensive option and takes some months to complete. In some places, the stone
cave is large enough to accommodate the whole family. A wooden carved effigy, called a quot;tau tauquot;, is put in or outside the cave facing
down over the land. Unfortunately, many of these tau tau have been targeted by grave robbers for antique collectors. One unique type
of burial is to hang the coffin by ropes on a cliff face. This hanging grave usually lasts for some years, until the ropes rot and the coffin
falls to the ground below. Coffins of babies and children are often hung from trees.

shallow. The wave itself has a fairly sedated take off, once you negotiate it and get to the bottom the wave then hits the shelf and
throws out a solid backdoor barrel that leaves enough space to drive a small car through. This wave is suited best for surfers and body
boarders with tube riding experience. Optimum wave height is always in that magic double over head range, but the Pipe can also take
it bigger. Through the afternoon when the wind usually turns cross-shore and up to 20 knot in strength the Pipe turns it on for the more
experienced kite and wind surfers.
