IDUL FITRI

idul fitri is a festive day which marks the end of ramadan, the muslim month of fasting... it is the biggest holiday of the year and i was so glad to be in a madurese village... everyone cooks amazing traditional food and then goes from village to village and eats all day long.. by 9 am i had already eaten 3 or 4 meals and was struggling.. also i wore a traditional shirt and hat, as well as my madura sarong so as not to look like a complete jackass.. everyone was so nice and although im not muslim they made me feel very welcome and comfortable.. they all laughed at my butchered attempts to pronounce arabic greetings...
