This
might be a good news for you buddy, through out this year 2015,
our government has decided that 19 national holidays will be
yours to enjoy long weekend and holiday. yups... while living In Indonesia,
take your time to make good use of these holidays.
In
addition to that, the collective leaves are also set up to create long
weekend as the leaves are falling usually on Monday
or Friday before or after a national holidays.
This
Policy benefited to either People or Government, people may take
a much needed break to improve their mental health, to revamp their
relationships, to recapture their childhood, to gain self confidence, to find
creative inspiration, above all to be more productive, while
the government intends this policy help promote domestic tourism. So
would you like to escape from the hectic life?... take your vacation and
maximize your enjoyment.
Commonly,
we have 4 types of holidays
- Religious
Holiday (RH)
- National
Holiday (NH)
- International
Holiday (IH)
- Commemorative
Holidays (CH)
A
date which is designated in red on a calendar signifies national holidays when
government offices, schools, banks, and most businesses are closed.
The
religious holiday date falls vary from year to year because they are
based on other calender. the date of Moslem holidays may not be confirmed until
a few days before as these are based on Islamic or Hijriah Kalender, which is
around 10 days shorter than roman calender every year.
Nyepi,
Balinese New year or literally as day of silence is observed on the Bali island.
for this reason, the airport will closed for 24 hours.
Banks usually closes
for a week and the business may close up to two weeks if Eidl Al
Fitr occurred in a such the largest Moslems country i the world
like Indonesia
