1 point for you. :carrot:

Now for the city...
By this structure it must be Sulavesi - Rantepao area?
Bandung, Palembang, Surabaya?
Semarang, Denpasar, Yogyakarta?
By this structure it must be Sulavesi - Rantepao area?
It actually isn't... it's on the island of either Sumatra or Borneo.
whoa that's a very vernacular one :D
Sumatra is also possible, that's true. I saw older Batak architecture at the Toba lake, they are very similar to the Toraja houses.

Medan, Bandar Pasir Mandoge, Habinsaran

Toraja:


Batak:

Not my pics, but I have been in both actual places (they are more of a museum nowadays than inhabited). The latter pic is near the King's graves of Ambarita on Samosir Island. Close to the first pic I visited a funeral ceremony once. That was very impressive.

I found some pics of the Rantepao area I took ;)
Impressive pictures. :)

As for the city - keep guessing...
Batang Serangan, Saipar Dolok Hole, Tanah Jawa
Hint: on the island of Sumatra.
Padang, Dumai, Bengkulu?
3 points for you. :banana:
