Eid Mubarak

Eid al Fitr (suikerfeest). We wondered what you actually do on these day, except obviously eating.
Last year we were out of the county if I remember well and Burkina was completely different in there ways of expressing their belief. So in a sense this is our first Eid al Fitr.

Here's the answer.

In general it is a lot like Christmas. If you can you go back to your village, the first day you handle the official visits; granny, old aunt, neighbour..... The second day you visit friends or do as in the photos below; hang at the park or lake.

Day one we had visitors at the door



Day two I did a cycle tour to Ramna park, Shabagh and Hatir Jheel lake.






Very busy around Shabagh.
This is next to the university area, and this square is where last year a months long protest was held.



The best place to hang out is at the lake side of Hatir Jheel.
