Photo of the Day ~ Torajan Marlboro Woman ~ Balifornian Tours and Travel Blog
A woman sells tobacco, betel nut and vegetables at a weekly market in Tana Toraja, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Betel nut is chewed as part of social occasions or as a part of daily life. Betel nut is a stimulant and traditional local people chew it for recreation, stress reduction, heightened awareness, and suppression of hunger.
Sulawesi and its incredible funerary practices in Tana Toraja is the subject of an upcoming Balifornian documentary.
