Is it PETA* approved?

             While for some of us November is referred to as a turkey, pumpkin pies and American football indicator, for other it is synonym of hundred of goat and cows waiting in the street to get their throats cut open.

   In deed Eid al- Adha or "Festival of sacrifice" is coming up on Nov 16! It is an important religious holiday that commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God. On this particular holiday, "the meat is divided into three equal parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors, and the other third is given to the poor & needy." (Wikipedia) 






You know you've been living in a big city when:

  • the smell of cows and goats along the streets of Jakarta is appealing to you because it reminds you of the country side. 

I've fallen into that category.

Love C-






PETA *: People for the ethical treatment of animals
