History
There are five versions of the popular story that developed in the community about the origins Warok (men dressed in black in the dance) and Reog, but one of the most famous story is the story of the rebellion Ki Ageng Kutu, a royal servant during Bhre Kertabhumi, last king of Majapahit who ruled in the 15th century . Ki Ageng Kutu will anger the powerful influence of the Majapahit king's wife who came from China, but it is also the wrath of the king in the government is corrupt, he saw that the power of the Majapahit kingdom will end. He then left the king and established the college where he taught martial arts to young children, science self immunity, and the science of perfection in the hope that these young children will be the seed of the resurrection of the Majapahit kingdom again. Aware that his forces are too small to fight the royal troops Ki Ageng Kutu the political message conveyed through Reog performing arts, which is a "satire" to King Kertabhumi and his kingdom. Reog performance becomes a way by Ki Ageng Kutu to build local resistance using Reog popularity.
In the show Reog displayed mask lion-shaped head, known as "Singa Barong", the king of the jungle, which became a symbol for Kertabhumi, and above it is plugged in peacock feathers to resemble a giant fan that symbolize the strong influence of his Chinese colleagues who manage the over all motion.

However, Reog itself is still allowed to be staged because the show has become popular among the people, but the story has a new groove in which the added characters from folklore Ponorogo namely Kelono Sewandono, Goddess Songgolangit, and Sri Genthayu.
Official Version Reog Ponorogo storyline now is the story of King Ponorogo who intend applying for daughter Kediri, Dewi Ragil Kuning, but on the way he was intercepted by King Singabarong of Kediri. Singabarong king's army consisted of peacocks and lions, while the King of the Kingdom of Ponorogo and his Deputy Kelono Single Anom, escorted by warok (men dressed in black in the dance), and warok has deadly black magic. The whole dance is a dance of war between KerajaanKediri and the Kingdom of Ponorogo, and pitted black magic between them, the dancers in a "trance" while dance staging. Until Now the society Ponorogo only follow what is their heritage as a very rich cultural heritage. In his experience Reog is copyright human creations that form the flow of the belief that there are hereditary and maintained. The ceremony also use terms that are not easy for lay people to fill in the absence of a clear lineage. they embrace Parental lineage and customary law still applies.

Toraja is a Beautiful Place in Indonesia

South Sulawesi
Situated at the crossroads of strategic sea-lanes steeped in history, the province of South Sulawesi consists of the narrow southwestern peninsula of this mountainous, orchid-shaped island. The capital and chief trading port, Makassar, is still the gateway to eastern Indonesia.

Spanish and Portuguese galleons, followed by British and Dutch traders, sailed these seas In search of the spice trade, escorted by their Men-of-War to protect them from the daring raids of the Bugis and Makassar pirates. Famed for their seafaring culture, the Bugis are still the driving force behind the world's last commercial sailing fleet. Bugis vessels have sailed as far as Australia, leaving behind images of their ships carved in stone, and Bugis words which were integrated into the Aboriginal language of northern Australia.

The seafaring Bugis dominate the southern tip of Sulawesi, but in the rugged and remarkable country further north is Tana Toraja, often referred to as the "Land of the Heavenly Kings". The traditional culture of the Torajans rivals any in the archipelago, making this area one of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia.

Toraja offers a pleasant and refreshing climate. You can sit outside your hotel in the evenings or mornings and enjoy the crisp air, especially higher up in the mountains in places like Batu'tumonga. Like in the rest of Indonesia, Toraja has two main seasons: a wet and a dry monsoon. The first one lasts from December through March, while the second starts in June and ends in September, The periods in between are considered transitional periods. Typical weather for the dry monsoon is sunshine throughout the day with occasional short rainy spells.

The wet monsoon, in general, offers sunshine in the morning with long spells of rain every day that start after 2 PM. When it is raining, it usually gets chilly and it is best to have one's jumper or jacket ready. The maximum temperature on record is 26•C and the minimum temperature is 14•C. However, temperatures have been noticed to be higher during the extremely long period of draught in 1997, and the following wet monsoon with rainfall for days on end.
The monsoons are known to be as whimful as the seasons in the west...

Sulawesi has many interesting things to do and see for foreign tourists and there are lots of tour and travel companies ready to arrange everything to make the trip enjoyable, with friendly knowledgeable tour guides for large or small groups. Toraja Land in South Sulawesi is probably the most interesting and unusual destination and even though it is about 7 hours drive on reasonable roads from the airport in Makassar, there are lots of hotels and tourist facilities in there. Tourist numbers have dropped off since the crisis and the various troubles from 1998 to 2003, but recently numbers have picked up again and the local tour guides have been polishing up their performances.

Toraja’s attractions are the landscape and the unique culture. It is located high up in a remote mountainous area. There are several cave burial sites, very eerie with bones and skulls from ancient and modern times. The burial ceremonies are unique cultural events. For a prominent Torajan it is big event lasting several days, and takes place in a specially constructed temporary village. The ceremonies are part of the living Toraja culture, not specially arranged tourist events. However, Torajan people are friendly and outgoing so tourists are welcome to attend, but must be ready to witness the bloody sacrifice of buffaloes, goats and pigs right there in front of their eyes. The meat is cooked and used to feed the hundreds of mourners attending the ceremony. The traditional Torajan houses are magnificent to see and they seem to fit perfectly into the rugged mountain scenery. While these houses can be seen everywhere, there are certain organized sites which are extremely fine examples and where the road access has been improved for tourist busses. Toraja is also fine walking and trekking country, and local guides are available for long or short treks, staying in small guest houses along the way.

Once any sensitive, alert, person has experienced all of the main elements of Toraja – the cave graves, the funeral ceremonies, the unique houses, the stunning landscape, the fresh mountain air, the friendly welcoming people – they usually get a special feeling for Toraja which stays with them after they have left. It is described as an aura of mysterious, haunting beauty with overtones of death and eternity. Anyway, that is the way the tour guide always describes it!

One of the seven wonders of the world

          Who does not know Borobudur? This Buddhist temple has 1460 relief panels and 504 Buddha effigies in its complex. Millions of people are yearning to visit the buildings included in this World Wonder Heritages. Not surprisingly, since architecturally and functionally, as the place of worship, Borobudur is attractive.
          Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the king of the ancient Mataram kingdom, descendant of Sailendra dynasty. Based on the inscriptions Kayumwungan, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship that was completed on 26 May 824, almost one hundred years since the beginning of construction. The name of Borobudur, as some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while the other says that Borobudur means monastery on the high place

          Punden terraces shaped building comprises 10 levels. Height 42 meters before being renovated and 34.5 meters after the renovation because the lowest level is used as a barrier. Six lowest level of a square and three levels above and a circular highest level of Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. In accordance schools of Mahayana Buddhism, every person who wants to reach the level of Buddha must through every level of life is.
          The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing human beings that are still bound by lust. Fourth levels above referred Rupadhatu symbolizing human beings that have can free yourself from lust but still bound appearance and form. At these levels, a statue of Buddha placed open. Meanwhile, three levels above where the Buddhist stupas are laid in holes called Arupadhatu, symbolizing human beings that have been free of lust, appearance, and forms. The top part that is called Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing

          Each level has a beautiful relief panels that shows how skillful the sculptors. Relief that will be readable coherently when you walk in a clockwise direction (towards the left of the entrance of the temple). In the reliefs of Borobudur tells of a legendary story, the Ramayana. In addition, there are relief panels describing the condition of society at that time. For example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting the advance of agriculture system and relief of sailing boat representing the advance of the cruise, who was based in Bergotta (Semarang).
          All relief panels in Borobudur temple reflect Buddha's teachings. Therefore, this temple functions as educational media for people who want to learn Buddhism. we invite you to circumnavigate each of the narrow alleys of Borobudur in order to understand the philosophy of Buddhism. Atisha, a Buddhist from India in the 10th century once visited this temple that was built 3 centuries before Angkor Wat in Cambodia and 4 centuries before the Grand Cathedrals in Europe.
         Because of visiting Borobudur and having Buddhist manuscripts from Serlingpa (King of Sriwijaya), Atisha was able to develop Buddhism. He became abbot Vikramasila and taught Tibetans of practicing Dharma. Six manuscripts of Serlingpa was condensed into a core doctrine called "The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" or better known as Bodhipathapradipa
          One question that is still unanswered about Borobudur is how the condition around the temple was established and why the temple was found within buried. Some say Borobudur originally stood surrounded by a the swamp and then buried by the eruption of Merapi. Is essentially the Calcutta
