Dear Steemians.
Going home is the activity of migrants/migrant workers to return to their hometown. Going home in Indonesia is synonymous with the annual tradition that occurs before the big religious holiday for example before Lebaran. At that moment there is an opportunity to gather with relatives scattered overseas, in addition of course also sowan with parents. Transportation used include: airplanes, trains, ships, buses, and private vehicles such as cars and motorcycles, even trucks can be used for homecoming. The homecoming tradition appears in some developing countries with the majority of the Muslim population, such as Indonesia and Bangladesh.
