Mudik ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_ul-Fitr ) :... Muslims in Indonesia usually ask forgiveness from their relatives and friends after the special prayer. Another interesting Eid ul-Fitr tradition in Indonesia is mudik that usually applies to urbanites who came to Jakarta from the other provinces of Java or other islands in Indonesia. Before Eid ul-Fitr comes, people will go back to their hometowns where their relatives, sometimes including their parents, reside. This event often causes crowding in airports, seaports, and bus stations while some who are traveling by car are trapped in the traffic jam for hours. For little children, gifts ofmoney as well as forgiveness from relatives is common to motivate them. Many, especially in the cities, also use the term angpau for the money just like Chinese people do. ....

My Award Winning Photo

My Award Winning Photo
Title: "Broken Habitat". This photo has won the 1st prize in Environmental Polution Photo Contest - Public/General Category (The 6th Trisakti Enviromental Fair 2007). A white egret fly away over the heaps of thrash as our boat approaching to take their pictures in Suaka Margasatwa Muara Angke. Heaps of thrash and black polluted water are common views in most of north Jakarta's coast estuaries and has become part of white egret life's challenge for their health and food survivor. White egret's population has reduced from time to time due to the lacks of natural foods as their habitat become depraved. Shot in manual mode at 1/3200 sec, f/2.8, Nikon D70s, Nikkor AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8D IF ED.
