In My Husband's Home Town
>> Aug 29, 2011
I’m already four days here, at my FIL’s house (Bumiayu, Central Java, Indonesia). Bumiayu is a small city, a subdistrict of Brebes district region. Since the main road of this city located not far from the house; I can take pictures of passing by vehicles that running toward to each one’s home town.
Most people love celebrating the Feast Day in their home town. We call this tradition as ‘Mudik’; going home every year to celebrate it together with all big families. I think every country has also the similar tradition. Do you?
Though the Government advice not to ‘mudik’ by motorcycles as its high risk; many people are still doing it for efficient/costless cause and other reason such as flexible movement in traffic jams and mobility needs in their home towns.
Can you differentiate between ordinary motor bikers and ‘mudik’ motor bikers? Helmets, jackets and luggage are the main differencing items.
I can’t tell much here. Until now, I go nowhere to the interesting places. Women in this family are busy preparing meals for the whole family members every day. The severe traffic jam on the main road also makes us lazy to wander around.

this is probably like Christmas, New Year, or All Souls' Day when people here go home to celebrate with their families. we also have a lot of motorcycles here but not used to long-distance travel. i agree it can be dangerous. everyday, we see road accidents involving motorcycles.
i must agree with luna, motorcycles seem to inhabit major roads in our country, as well, that road accidents were caused by single riders.

Yes, of course. Here also people rush to their home town’s ahead festival days. Mostly its buses and trains here flood by people and these days everyday looks like that since increased in vehicles. Nice picture on traffic! Hope u had good time in Eid.
