The Pacui Jawi (Bull Races)

The Pacu Jawai is held in West Sumatra, Indonesia just after the Paddy has been harvested.
The event is called a race, but, actually is a showcase of the bulls which are up for
auction. This event has in recent years started bringing in tourists from different parts
of the world to these remote parts of the country.
