Taken at 3am-ish Tahun ini adalah tahun ke-4 gw nyepi di Bali. Ketagihan banyak Nyepi di Bali. Tahun ini juga semua serangkaian Nyepi terasa kembali normal. Normal dalam artian, kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan Nyepi sudah mulai dilaksanakan secara utuh. Karena 2-3 tahun sebelumnya masih nggak 100%, kali ini jauh lebih meriah. Upacara dimana-mana. Jalanan ditutup, diputar, dimana-mana. Melasti yang bisa aja kalau kalian nggak tau ya "kejebak" macet. Gw nggak suka keramaian, tapi prosesi-prosesi kejutan yang gw nggak sengaja liat di jalanan tuh menyenangkan sekali. Riuhnya kerasa buat gw. Big offerings 2-3 tahun lalu, seingat gw ATM tuh tutupnya H-1 Nyepi tapi jam-jam sore. Tahun ini jam 10 pagi ATM udah mati semua. Tahun ini juga gw tiba-tiba perlu urus visa yang mepet Nyepi, dengan janji temu hari kamis. Hari kamis ini masih ngembak geni, kegiatan belum ada yang 100%. Kalaupun ada pasti bukanya di atas jam 10 atau jam 1 siang. Gw perlu print beberapa dokumen terakhir yang
Selamat hari raya Idul Adha :)
So... as a muslim, I have 2 holy days in a year (not only these two but this is the biggest). It is Idul Fitri and Idul Adha (both in Indonesian words). Idul Fitri means the final day of fasting month, after fasting for 29-30 days. for Indonesian, we always celebrate it so happily. Always visit family, eat with them, everything we do. And here we have about 1-2weeks off to celebrate it.
It is so different with Idul Adha. When Idul Adha comes, we have only a day or two days off. not as much as Idul Fitri. and to celebrate it, I am not visit my family. It just we sacrifice sheep, cow, or camel, or another, then share it with people. Feast. It is not as special as Idul Fitri for us. but still special because our religious time.
So... let see the differences between others. In Mohammad prophet era, Idul Adha is more special than Idul Fitri (some said like that), and it is right for other countries but Indonesia. I ask friends from Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, UK,they said that have days off more when celebrate Idul Adha. If Idul Fitri they dont get much days off.
maybe thats the differences between Indonesia and other countries.
it's ok, it just different place, the point is Islam :)
