-continuation from last episode, where I was at the funeral in Toraja… the bullock had been butchered, and I explain just why they keep the dead people around for 5 years!

After all that blood and guts, (and pigs squeeling as they are stabbed), we return to the hotel pool to wash off. Hmm, well luckily the water was cold, cause it saved me needing a cold shower! Man, there was some hotties.
- “Is 17 too young?” That is the question for today.

We also visit some (MANY) grave sights, mausoleums, decayed coffins, and way too many skeletons and skulls lying about the place. “I see dead people”
OH, and you will not want to miss the tree full of… dead babies! :-O

This is the ‘middle’ part of my Indonesian holiday – to Tana Toraja area of Sulawesi.
Join me as I bump my way 8 hours north from Makassar to Rantepao. Luckily we do it in style in a chartered mini-bus this time.
Once in Rantepao, come with us as we go to day 2 of a big funeral party for 2 people. The old lady died FIVE years ago, and her nephew died one year ago…. yet the funeral was today!
This is an enhanced podcast, so you can enjoy the sights of Sulawesi, even if you can’t enjoy the sounds and smells. Oh, and be warned – there are some graphic photos in this podcast.

PS- part 2 of this will be posted tomorrow. enjoy!

Tonight I saw the Socceroos play Indonesia in a football/soccer match at Suncorp stadium. We sat in the Indonesian supporters section – for a laugh.
This week is the beginning of Semester 1 lectures… blah. I am over it already.

I am not really back in the groove of podcasting yet, or ‘life’, for that matter. Having a great overseas holiday always throws me a little.

ps- Does anyone know who/what song it is I play on radio at end of podcast? I kinda like it. Shazam (iPhone) was no help

Resurection of an old favourite in this episode…
Also, I talk about our commander in chief and her representative(s) in Australia and Queensland.
It is Sunday night, so I am naturally off to church tonight. (Hey, even us crappy Christians go to church sometimes.) The service is held in a lecture theatre at UQ (the University of Queensland); hence the show art today.
I talk a bit about UQ’s campus and their Law school; one is much much better than Griffith, and one is rubbish.

Today was the last day of my summer holidays. Aw, poopeeeee Back to my FINAL semester of hell on Monday.

Part 3 of my holiday, in Rumbio village, Sumatra, Indonesia. This (enhanced) podcast required TEN hours of ass-pounding, so I hope U are all happy, and grateful!
I bought protection the night before, but it was very tight. Still, as the biggest size they had, and at $6, I bought it. Not much confidence that it would save my life, if need be.

The rest of the show I talk about the great time I had in and around Rumbio, Panyabungan, Sumatra… hot springs, topless bathers, farm boys…
