This post is a very late post after my child was sick. I need to take care of it, because this month is the transition from rainy to sunny. Many children cannot survive because the weather is too extreme. Sometimes the weather gets very hot, or it rains suddenly. OK, back to topic. Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest Islamic religion. In the month of Ramadan, they fast on food, drink or bad things. In fact, this happens every year for one month. After that they will celebrate Eid al-Fitr. It should be like in other Muslim countries, but the tradition after fasting is "Mudik", or going home to your hometown and gathering with your family, then going to your neighbors and exchanging food and sometimes giving money to the children. Small. Just as during Chinese New Year celebrations, people give Amgpao0 during Eid they also give money to small children, but the amount is small. So it is not surprising that before Eid al-Fitr arrives, many people exchange money at the bank. In fact, it is even limited by banks every day. There are so many exchanges and brokers. Uniquely in Indonesia, it is not only Islam that celebrates Eid al-Fitr. Non-Muslims also celebrate it. It's not uncommon for us non-Muslims to cook regional specialties and entertain our neighbors with dishes and pastries, not forgetting to also give their children money. Religious tolerance is very beautiful in Indonesia. This tradition has actually been around for a long time in Indonesia. But now I feel that there are some who are not like that. Most of the people who didn't go home were native to that city, or they didn't go home because they didn't have any money. When I was little, I loved enjoying that moment. Play with peers. Go around to neighbors, like Americans celebrating Trick or treat. Meanwhile, now it's not like it used to be. My family is separated by many cities. Sometimes I feel jealous of those who can gather as a family every day, eat with the extended family. What a beautiful moment that was! What about you? Do you feel it too?
