2# Enjoy the Relax City Traffic
Traffics in big cities tend to go easy as more than half of the population has left for their native village. A stroll in a quieter city life will be a good one although there is little chance you got shops open in case you need food or drink before noon. It is even better if you happen to get a bicycle ready with you; you can expand your city exploration for more varied things to see, in the absence of hectic traffic and vehicle’s honks.
3# Family Culinary Delight
Best food of the local delicacies is served by families during the Idul Fitri celebration. This might not be for public offer, but if you happen to have built close social circle with your Moslem Indonesian friends, they may invite you to the special family meal time. Don’t refuse the offers or you will lose the opportunity of getting introduced to richly home-made local delicacies you won’t find in any hotel’s buffets or restaurants.
4# Enjoy the Far Less Hectic Metropolitan Atmosphere
If you happen to be or stay in a less metropolitan area, it will be even better. You can expect to see more local religious and cultural events related to the Idul Festival’s get together with more availability of colorful things to witness along with genuine hospitality and generosity the local people demonstrate. Don’t stay in. Get out, see what happens, make photos and talk to people!
5# Learn to wish people  ‘Selamat Idul Fitri’
‘Selamat Idul Fitri’ (pronounced as ‘sah-lah-mut-ee-dool-fee-tree’) simply means ‘have a nice Idul Fitri’. People will be more than happy to get such wish from you for their feeling of being respected. You can wish people by simply saying it or coupled with a warm handshake. But be aware  that some women can’t receive man’s handshakes due to religious norms, and, instead,  you can simply put your palm together in front of your chest while wishing the ‘selamat Idul Fitri’. How do you know a woman won’t take handshakes? They will greet you with their palm together in front of their chests.
But, of course, you can still expect warm sincere smiles from everybody.
For photos of Idul Fitri moments, kindly go googling with the following key words :
- ‘Salat idul fitri’ (for Idul Fitri prayer)
- ‘Hidangan lebaran’ (for Idul Fitri culinary delicacies)
- ‘Suasana lebaran’ (for Idul Fitri family gathering moments)
- ‘Lebaran di desa’ (for photos of rural Idul Fitri moments)
- ‘Arus mudik' (for photos of road traffic jams and outrageous traffic condition before and after the Idul Fitri)
Have a wonderful stay in Indonesia during the Idul Fitri time!
