tANA Toraja is the Land of The dead.So u have to mind your words, your behavior and please do respect for the death.When u came in to the burial cave or any place in Tana Toraja, wisely suggested NOT TO TOUCH things and stuff [bones of the dead and the coffin] or worse U STEAL IT .DONT U DARE! and SAY BAD WORDS there!!.trust me or u will regret it ever.

When feeling weakness in your stomach watching dead corps you better do not enter the burial-caves.
