Religious festivities are the biggest holidays. Indonesia is predominantly Muslims and the Eidul Fitr is an important day for me as a Muslim. It’s celebrated after a month of daily fasting called Ramadan. Christmas is also a huge celebration. Waisak is celebrated by the Buddhists and Ngaben by the Hindus; on this day they perform a huge ceremony in the temple.

 
I am from Indonesia.
 
I live in Jakarta, the capital city, which lies on the northwest coast of Java, one of the many islands in Indonesia (there are over 17,000!). The islands stretch along the equator and we have warm climate all year round. One of the things I miss is Indonesian food, which is mostly quite spicy, depending on what region of the country it’s from. My favorite is ‘gado-gado’ (vegetable salad) and ‘pempek’ (egg & fish dish with spicy vinegar sauce)
