End of Lebaran Holidays

Yupe, it s over now, the longest Lebaran Holiday i ever have.
In 10 years, that numbers reflects how long i have been working after my graduation, this Lebaran Holiday takes too long.

Well, maybe the phrase "longest" holiday is not valid for everyone because during the economic crisis some companies also offered their employee to take all of their leave days during Lebaran Holiday (i think it was 1999 or 2000, gosh i cannt remember).
The reason was, there were companies that "almost" dying or the business at that time was not really hot during that time.
I knew it since the office where my best friend used to work also closed for almost 3 weeks during Lebaran (they can choose a combination of one week before and two weeks after Lebaran or the other way around).

Now, we think economy are already normal but we still got this long holidays for Lebaran. Why? Goverment mentions once that this is necessary to help tourism businnes to recover, since it was damaged by all the terrorism actions in this country lately.
I dont know how effective it was and i dont think there will be study to review it.

i spend these holidays, most of the time with my girlfriend. we had great time, enjoying Jakarta's traffic which we wish to be that easy in the future.
we went to malls, bars, cinema and visit gym several times (the last time was really new for me).
Now, everybody is already back in town. I havent seen the traffic yet, coz we go to the office really early today.

I know that the Lebaran Holidays has reached its end, but i am still not 100% on my speed.
Maybe i am too lazy, maybe i am enjoying being spoiled by my girlfriend during those holidays, maybe because i know within 4 weeks we will have another long holidays and i am not assigned to a project ...and there are still a lot more maybe's that i can write it down, but it s about lunch time, so i'd better stop and have a break!!
