Raya in Germany

So it's Syawal now and today is the fourth day raya in Germany since we celebrated first Syawal on 30th Oct.Though celebrating abroad, actually raya is not that bad. I guess we are quite lucky because we meet a lot of new friends eversince coming to Germany so we are not that lonely.

The first Syawal we didn't have much things great since we have decided that special makan-makan to be held on 1 October (because in Malaysia the first Syawal fell on 1st Oct.) The first day of raya was the day we cooked raya dishes and I say, we really cooked! From soto, ketupat, rendang, roti jala, kuzi (this is the most complicated dish I've ever known), it was very tiring but fun. There were about 20 people coming to Razif & Liza's (the host) open house.

On the same day, in the evening we went to open house in Konsulat Malaysia and we saw more people and foods.....I was so addicted to teh tarik cause all this while the tea that I drink here is tea from Turkey and it tastes weird.

By the way, I'm moving into our own rented house today. There a lot of things to do and I'm not going to be online for quite sometime. We need to change our visa to resident permit before we can install Internet and telephone. That, I guess will take sometime.

Till next time....
