No matter how many islands I visit, there's always some new creature for sale to be eaten. My guide shares with me a pet flying horned beetle that is tied to a piece of string. Let it go and it buzzes around in circles trying to escape. Just stay clear of its enormous horns. Some of the old Nias villages have stone carvings.
Many artifacts are for sale, some original, some new for visitors.
Jumping over stone mounds is a tradition in Nias. Where it came from, I don't know. Jumping is the easy part. Landing on the stone ground is when it gets interesting.
