Just wondering, what do you usually do on the first day of Eid? And do you call them Eid? Because where I’m from, we call it Hari Raya Aidilfitri

We do call them Eid, usually context will clarify which one we’re talking about but otherwise it’s Eid al Fitr (and Eid al Adha is usually called Bakra Eid in Pakistan, bakra meaning goat). At home, of course it’d be a holiday and everyone would get up early and shower and put on new fancy clothes, then Eid prayers, then party food and everyone’d be visiting each other’s house.

I live alone in the US now, so just the first part for me and then to work, nothing too special.

Just found out that “one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written” has a huge f/f storyline in it. The Wall of Storms by Ken Liu. Second in a trilogy (The Dandelion Dynasty), heavily influenced by Chinese mythology. A good tide-you-over for Tiger’s Daughter. This actually makes me motivated to read the first one, too.

Oh wow, thank you for telling me. Hmm, the difference between the two books in ratings, interest, and plot makes me almost want to skip the first one…but I can never do that. I always need to start from the beginning (it’s why I’m still having trouble even starting Discworld :P).

I’ll put both the books on my list for after I get through the Shadow Campaign series.
