Answers the questions

Last vacation, I decided to visit the Dani tribe in Baliem Valley to do a little adventure.

First, I stopped at Muliama village, which was about 20 kilometres from Wamena to enjoy
the Baliem Cultural Festival it was held for several days. People of the Dani were singing,
dancing and playing their traditional music in the festival, They painted their faces with pig
grease, clay ash and fur. They held their bows, arrows and spears to act as if they were
attacking each other. However, no blood was shed. It was all intended only as a threatening
show of force.

When the festival ended, I chose to join a trekking trip to the spectacular villages of the Dani.
The trip gave me an opportunity to see the real lifestyle of the Dani people. I saw great
wooden bridges across the fast-flowing mountain rivers. I also learnt that men and women
did not live in one traditional house. Another amazing thing that I learnt was that people
missing fingers were a result of a custom whereby both men and women might cut off their
fingers if they were left by the loved one.

My eight-day trip to Baliem Valley gave me a remarkable impression of how rich Indonesia's
culture is.
