#Today my colleague and friend brought me a coffee and a sweet because her family celebrated #Eid yesterday. I think she wanted to give me some of the warmth and joy that she felt herself.
Eid or Lebaran in Indonesia is a time when you regain all that weight you lost during Ramadan. Eid is a time for a feast. It’s why Muslims eat so much during this period and it’s why Indonesians call it Lebaran, from the word lebar meaning wide. That’s for your body going wide.
Eid Mubarak!
I hope your celebrations are full of joy, your family and friends are safe and loved, and that people around the world will remember their spirit of kindness and stop their violence. #Eid#EidMubarak
Here's wishing #EidMubarak to all those celebrating today.
As the month of #Ramadan (#Islamic fasting month) comes to an end, #Muslims worldwide thank the Almighty by offering prayers at Mosques & #Eid celebrations.
Achievement Unlocked: #Eid prayer at the room where they wash and clean bodies before their burial 😂 My brother and I purposefully stayed there too cos it was air conditioned lmao.
Indonesia’ s week-long Eid al-Fitr holiday officially begins. In the Middle East and other parts of the world, marking the end of Ramadan is the minor Eid but in Southeast Asia this is the major Eid, the other being the sacrificial Eid al-Adha.
Malaysia and Singapore only allocate 1-2 days of holiday but Indonesia’s customary homecoming practice means anything less than 5 days won’t ever be sufficient. It’s like our Thanksgiving but for 7-9 days depending on when it falls during the week.
Any effort to contact businesses during this time will be futile unless you’ve already had prior appointment and even then it might be canceled 😂😂😂.
Jakarta’s residents have slowly left the city for the holidays starting last Friday and the holiday exodus typically accelerates until the day before Eid until around half the city is left, leaving it pleasant for everyone else to drive, take buses, go to parks, malls, and other local destinations. Outbound traffic is downright terrible already.
This time next week the inbound traffic to major cities and population centres will be pretty severe as residents return. Often this also means a spike in city population with new people coming looking for work.
die #eID-Verordnung der #EU ist verabschiedet. Sind die Bedenken von Zivilgesellschaft und Wissenschaft zur Unverknüpfbarkeit bei der Wallet einer Bürgerin noch aufgenommen und verbessert worden oder nicht? Kann mir das jemand beantworten?
We went to Devon Avenue (Little India / Little Pakistan) yesterday for some shopping. It is Ramadan right now and many places are having Ramadan or Eid sales. The photo is not the best. The day was grey and you can see the reflection in the window. But there is just something that I really liked about the sign.
Thema #eID / #eIDAS: Vielleicht müssen wir da akzeptieren, dass wir (tm) da einfach verloren haben, und zwar aus Mangel an Interesse der großen Mehrheit. Bitter, aber so ist es. Da kleben ein paar Pflaster drauf, damit es nicht so weh tut, aber .. tja.
