Subject: HAPPY EID!



Here in Indonesia, home to more Muslims than any other country, Eid al Fitr is the biggest holiday of the year, the culmination of the holy month of Ramadhan, which is given to fasting, prayer, contemplation of God, and giving and feeling compassion for the poor who are hungry every day.

So it's kind of like I'm in the middle of (if you can relate) Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all rolled into one occasion that lasts three consecutive days.

It's family, friends, feasting, giving, and forgiving. Our traditional greeting here is "Mohon ma'af lahir batin," which means "Please forgive me my wrongs, material and spiritual.

Happy Eid, and here's to feeling and sharing the love ... and food.

DANIEL {MELON PRESS} There's plenty of fried chicken and watermelon to go around. There's plenty of everything to go around!

It is a blast, literally. Lots. I'm watching the fireworks from all over the city light up the sky. Quranic recitation is blasting from every speaker on a tower around--some talented muezzins, some, err ... neighborhoodly muezzins. Drum bands complete with cymbals are marching around the streets. Folks are having barbecues in the streets and banging on telephone and electric poles. It's pretty fun.

I remember hearing those every now and again in Saudi. Yeah, blasting them is putting it mildly. They register on seismic charts

Glad you're enjoying yourself. As it should be.

Just remember not to annoy those little ol' ladies with the corningware!

when I was in Morocco a few years ago we joked about some places sounding like moped races. The smaller towns had crappy speakers and the towers were out of sync, so it sounded like a bunch of moped riders racing.

Yanti, happy Eid and you look great in this avatar pic!.
