A cultural cannibalism Papua Tribal Living Above the Tree

High above a forest land, much in the swampy lowland forests of Papua, a tree house greet the explorers of the world. Tree house in the height of more than 80 feet above the ground. This is a construction and home Kombai neighbor Korowai, tribes decorate their bodies with the bones and the cannibalism among them adapt

Tree house built with wood taken from forests around where they want to stay up with the hatchet made of stone. Home this summer to protect themselves from insects and the jungle, they also protect from flooding during the rainy season off. In addition, this house has a function as a fortress that is the place to shelter when the conflict between the tribes.

Korowai and Kombai is that different ethnic groups, each with their own language, but they manage to do and also share cultural practices that are similar. They were skilled in hunting, the hunting of prey including the cassowary and wild pig. This tribe still trade in objects such as jewelry and bone knife, and may be introduced to new ideas and metal wear in the 1970s, when the first missionaries arrived. Tools such as a sharp bamboo is used to slice meat, shells to accommodate water, and hot water in the cooking stone.


Cannibalism is also common in the history of both tribes Kombai and Korowai. To Kombai, this is a form of tribal punishment, with the only person identified as a healer, killed and eaten by the people as offerings to the soul consumed by the defendant. Cannibalism important in the world unseen, similar to the trust and Korowai may also have been done as part of their criminal justice system. Tree does not seem to be in the nature of death, but deaths caused by magic - also believed to be the cause of war between tribes.

Pigs in the culture and the Korowai tribe Kombai used in the settlement of disputes between-family, and also sacrificed in the ceremony with the complex when they leave the blood into the river as a sacrifice to a deity. Pigs play a role in the religious life of the Korowai also filled with all kinds of spirits - in the spirit of the ancestor of all those animals are sacrificed at the time of difficulty.

Indigenous party is better enjoyed by Korowai and Kombai of Sago meal is, food that is tasty grub from the Capricorn beetle, which is the result of the yield of sago palm.

Kombai expression for the tribe, the stranger who called themselves as a ghost, but ghost itself had become a concrete reality as the adventure film and keberadaanya make tourists feel they are in the region. This tradition is a tourist attraction to visit.

Just want to share about one culture in Papua I still apply cannibalism as a punishment for disorderly tribe ..

About Papua..

he indigenous people of Irian jaya are Melanesians with black skins and curly hair .
They generally have a root crop subsistence agriculture based on sweet potatoes and taro. people in the lowlands and swamps , however , obtain their starch from the sago palm which gives an extremely generous yield for remarkably little effort.

feral and domesticated ping on the island of Irian jaya from southeast Asia was an event which has han vast cultural and ritual significance for its people pigs are often treated as members of the family and are sometimes suckled by women.

In some places they also accompany women to the gardens daily when they are weaned. from the discovery of a jawbone archaeologist estimate the pig arrived about 6,500 years ago. while many other people of the world were still hunter and gatherers ,Irian people had begun to garden. after fairly recently , many of the people lived within a simple Stone Age culture wearing little clothing and decorating their bodies with painting , shells ,pig tusks ,feathers and skins. there is a plethora of languages in the province, perhaps some 250 in all, each representing a tribal group which mixes little with the others.


Some of the more remote groups still have virtually no contact whit the outside world. In recent years, Indonesians from elsewhere in the country such as Java ,Sumatra and Sulawesi have come to the province.

American goes to Cuba

Some people maybe will doubt, are americans can travelling to Cuba? Of course they can!!
But it would not be avised.
American tourists have been prohibited from traveling to Cuba. U.S, law does not forbid Americans from entering the communist country, but the Trading with the Enemy Act says they can¹t spend money there, including paying for a ticket on a Cuban airline.
There's a big problem, how you went there and didn't spend money? You can go there, but de facto you can't travel there, but travel in itself is not forbidden. But you no need to worry about, you can fly to Canada and then to Cuba.
Have nice adventure

Christmas Island Highlights

The Territory of Christmas Island is a small territory of Australia located in the Indian Ocean, 2600 kilometres (1600 mi) northwest of Perth in Western Australia and 500 kilometres (300 mi) south of Jakarta, Indonesia. More clese to Indonesia.

It maintains about 1,600 residents who live in a number of "settlement areas" on the northern tip of the island: Flying Fish Cove (also known as Kampong), Settlement, Silver City, Poon Saan and Drumsite.

It has a unique natural topography and is of immense interest to scientists and naturalists due to the number of species of endemic flora and fauna which have evolved in isolation[1] and undisturbed by human habitation.

While there has been mining activity on the island for many years, 65% of its 135 square kilometres (52 sq mi) are now National Park and there are large areas of pristine and ancient rainforest. Beside all of it, you can find more interests, do you know if that island have other name? immigration Island! Because there's immigration detention camps are.

How to go to Madagascar today

Actually i never been to Madagascar. This article i published to everyone which wanna go to island country. A friend give this picture crystal clear. They named "Truth Beyond All", "Leon" and "Feomanga".

Lets start with politics
Political violence is relatively uncommon in Madagascar. The political crisis of January-June 2002 involved a division of the country between two rival governments but was remarkably restrained in terms of violence. Civil disturbances are uncommon and there have been no notable cases of politically motivated damage to projects.

Public safety is adequate; although standard warnings to guard against street crime and theft from vehicles and to minimize or avoid night time road travel, particularly in rural areas apply. Madagascar being an island, there are no belligerent neighbors or politically motivated activities.

My Other friend say, Madagascar is a beautiful country and totaly safe. He suggested have a great time and enjoy.

Weather
The climate in Madagascar is generally tropical in coastal areas, but cooler temperatures prevail in uplands. Dry weather prevails from May through September.

What is Madgascar
Even after one hour in the country, it was clear to me that Madagascar did not belong to Asia or Africa. It was an island and a culture unto its own and the people are as individual as their country.

They speak their own language of Malagasy.

The wildlife and plant life are among the most exotic in the world. A friend say, don't walk under large trees, some of the coconut type seeds weigh up to 80 pounds! Believe it or not?

At night, the sounds of the lemurs' voices and movements fill the air. It is paradise. The sun is bright, the humidity is low and coconuts and palm trees are everywhere.

White sand and white picket fences surround restaurants, attracting tourists and the businesses that cater to them. The pace is slow and the people can easily live off the land by growing their own fruits and vegetables and from catching fish in the nearby ocean.

Food&drink
The cheapest way to get a meal is to eat at a "hotely". For about 1300 ariary (or a little less than $1) you can buy a plate of rice, laoka (malagasy for side dish accompanying rice) like chicken, beans or pork, and rice water. For 200 ariary extra you can get a small glass of homemade yogurt.
Bananas (hundreds of varieties) and rice cakes Malagasy 'bread') are staple 'street food' and available everywhere. Coffee is very good, usually hand-made by the cup and served very sweet with condensed milk. Steak-frites is available in restaurants in the larger towns.

There is no safe tap water so be prepared with bottled water, which is usually easily obtainable. The only other option is rice water (water used to cook rice, which will therefore have been boiled).

NO need to worry about Hotel, because u can find with easily. Additional suggestion, rent a small car or motorcycle.
