Back to Indonesia (Part 1)

My Vacation on Summer 2007

Every one talk Ramadlan, my friend talks about Ramadlan and also my family talks about this, the Holy Month of Ramadlan. They are talking because Ramadlan will be coming soon. That is moment of my vacation visit to my country Indonesia on this summer, September 2007. This is the second years on Ramadlan Kariem that I stay in Indonesia since I live in Cairo, Egypt. In Indonesia, I live in Jakarta with my parents and also visit my big family in Kediri, East of Java.

In the end of Ramadlan, my parents and I go to our village in Kediri. This traveling we usually are called by Mudik. And Iedul Fitri celebrates we are called by Lebaran.

In Kediri, as other region in Indonesia, there are happened two days Iedul Fitri celebrates. The first calendar of Syawwal 1428 Hijriah, according to Muhammdiyah –the Islamic organization- starts on Friday and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) –the Islamic organization bigger in Indonesia- start lebaran on Saturday.

Lebaran in Indonesia is different with in Egypt. In Indonesia, every one visit their neighbor, friend and family until seventh day of Syawwal.

Al-Mustawa Summer Tour - Part 4 (Finish)

My Vacation on Summer 2007

Agiba beach is last destination of our trip. Agiba Beach is the pride of Marsa, even if it is no more than 40-50 meters long. Agiba beach is more beautiful than other beach in Marsa Mathruh. It is set between protecting cliffs, and a nice reception area has been built on top on one of these. The sand is cleaner here, and the temperature cooler. But the day ends earlier, as the cliffs take away the sunset hours.

Here, many of my friends swam in this beach, but I can't joint them, I just looked around until corner and finish in the forbidden area. One of the moments I can't forget it when Nadlir lose control when swam in big wave, makes coastguard save him.

After our entire program had finished, we back to Cairo and arrived at 10.00pm.
