Hello there from Ngadas. Today, I get to join a very unique ritual here in Indonesia. This ritual is a Tengger tradition called Entas-Entas. In Old Javanese and Tengger dialects, the word entas means to go upward or ascend. (The Tengger entas-entas serves not simply to commemorate the dead but to aid in their passage to heaven. The ritual remembers not a single individual but the collective dead of a family. It is held whenever a family has amassed the substantial capital required to sponsor this ritual and its extensive social festivities.)

After the ritual was over, Pak Kartono, my homestay owner, took me on a little adventure to his childhood village of Jakak Ijo. It was a really cool ride. He took me through the mountains and up down the windy road that's wrap around the potato farms in the area. It's really a beautiful sight to see. In the other village, there was another circumcision celebration and therefore another huge gathering of people cooking and celebrating. It's the village that never stops partying. Pak Kartono then took me to his childhood home and I met his mother. We enjoyed a cup of coffee and ate strawberries together in her kitchen.

Just another incredible and memorable day in Ngadas.

Thanks again for watching!
