Hi TS-Ior,
We celebrated today by first going to the "so-called" Mosque (a sports-hall-turned-into-prayer-place) and doing the Eid prayers.
Afterwards returning home to greet the closest family. Then having some of the fab. dishes.
Exchanging gifts and later in the evening visiting other relatives and friends.
Eid-al-Fitr these days is in the winter times here in Copenhagen, so no much outside enjoyment or amusement. No amusements parks. Its either visits to friends and family or like going to the Mall or going for bowling or other indoor activities.

Salam Tsi-or,
Went and performed Eid salat at a local mosque, and just kicked it the whole day. Nothing special, just happy that I fasted another month and praised God.

Happy Eid to my fellow a.net muslims, all muslims and non-muslims alike. It's been another successful and fulfilling month of fasting. Respect and peace to everyone.

Covert,
I hope you will continue praising God and fasting some days,mondays and thursdays particularly,and that you will continue keeping the charge of faith you have gained in Ramadan,and then,of course,expressing all that with the prescribed rituals.

ScarletHarlot,
Shawwal is the month,the moony month, that comes just after Ramadan,and the day of the Aid is the 1st of Shawwal.
After this Month comes Thou Al Kiida,and the Thou Al Hijja in which we find the Hajj season and the Ship Sacrifice in the 10th day.

TS-IOR...

4. Visit our relatives Eat...
5. Visit another relative Eat...

Day 2.
1. Visit family cemeteries...
2. visit another relative... eat...

Package 2. Go to your hometown...
Go and take that looong drive to your hometown, my mum's family is from central java, most of my maternal relatives went there this Eid. Enjoy the long traffic jam with another 5 million people ! Put your resolve on fasting to the limits !
Go as package 1...
They're all coming back this weekend !
In the meantime, I'm enjoying the fresh air due to little pollution, the light traffic because almost everyone's out of town... which gives good spotting weather

When losing situational awareness, pray Cumulus Granitus isn't nearby !

Mandala499,
I really appreciate the muslim community in South-East Asia,with complements to the other muslims of course.My parents have spent some days in Mecca and Medina this Ramadan and they were really impressed by the politeness and the behaviour of the Indonesians and the Malaysians.
A friend of mine who has lived in Jakarta told me that you cope with fasting,at sunset,with drinking hot water,to avoid thermic shock, due to the long and hot fasting day there.Is this true ?
United777,
I hope you really hold your name,FARHAN (happy) !!!
