East Java town eyes livelier Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration amid eased Covid-19 curbs
As Hari Raya Aidilfitri approaches next Thursday, Banyuwangi resident Fitri Koreasari is looking forward to cooking up a feast for her family - a spread that will include festive favourites chicken opor and beef rendang.
Unlike last year, when many cities across Indonesia were under lockdown, looser restrictions and fewer infections in Banyuwangi, a laid-back town in East Java province with around 1.8 million inhabitants, mean she can now gather with her loved ones at home instead of meeting via video calls. Last year, I couldn t even meet my mother, who lives with my sister just 3km away from my house, as access to our housing complexes was blocked, the 37-year-old mother of three told The Straits Times. We also couldn t visit our neighbours and greeted them only behind the gates.
