The newleyweds
drummers prepare
Stabbing his leg
Blenkejeran is a small town in the interior of Northern Sumatra. Our plan was to breeze through on our way to Banda Aceh, but Adam learned that there would be a Debus that night in honor of a wedding that happened earlier that morning. During the Debus men danced in the middle of a drum circle and stabbed themselves with knives, swords, axes, and, in one case, a flaming stick. One of my favorite nights of the trip.
