I did a google search and found that Hari Raya Aidilfitri (as known in Malaysia) or the Feast of Breaking the Fast to mark the end of the month of Ramadan goes by various names around the world, including: Arabic - عيد الفطر Eid Al-Fitr; Albanian - Fitër Bajrami, Bajrami i madh ("Greater Feast"); Azerbaijan - Ramazan Bayramı, Orucluq Bayramı; Bengali - রোজার ঈদ / Ruzar Eid; Bosnian - Ramazanski bajram ("Ramadan Feast");Bulgarian - Рамазан Байрам / Ramazan Bayram; Chinese - 开斋节 / Kāi zhāi jié; Croatian - Ramazanski bajram ("Ramadan Feast"); Filipino - Wakas ng Ramadan, German - Ramadanfest, Zuckerfest (Ramadan Feast, Sugar Feast); Kazakh - Ораза айт / Oraza ait; Kyrgyz - Orozo Mayram, etc etc.
Anyway, I had a good Hari Raya Aidilfitri this year, with many visitors, some expected, some surprises. Nice, I like visitors!
