Huge monoliths were once erected at the culmination of a funeral.  The ones in this field dated back to the 1600's and once again, the entire family is buried under one family monolith when each one dies.

Definitely not as interesting as the Rantepao market with coffee grinders chugging away (Starbucks uses Sulawesi coffee beans in their brews), fruits, vegetables, live and dead chickens and the ever-popular eels squirming around...  That...gave me flop-sweats...
