Eid in Auckland , New Zealand

last Sunday( 05/10/14) is Eid day in Auckland , New Zealand . This is my first Eid in New Zealand. Eid is a one of the most important festival for Muslims, In Bangladesh we celebrate it very much. This Eid ( Eid ul Adha) we sacrifice and obedience to All mighty Allah. Every Year I have arrange all kind of preparation and other work for Eid celebration in my home. But this year I am out of my country and every body was missed me in the festival. I am also missing my son and daughter , every time in Eid , they celebrate EID with me , But this year they miss me and can not enjoy the EID. 

My Eid in Auckland start with EID prayer , we have taken EID prayer at Avondale Community center organizes by the Bangladeshi association of New Zealand, The association arrange some sweet meet (Jelapy & kalojam) cake and balloon for the participator and children. There are also arrangement for woman here to perform the prayer. I enjoy the prayer and the environments. With a lot of Bangladeshi , another countries Muslim also atten the prayer of EID. After that We ( Shahin , Arif and Me ) came home and take some food.  Around 10 am we want to Mortuza Vai house to meet with them in the EID day , here we also take some food and go out for meet the other people . This is a nice journey and at 12 pm we reached home. The Eid may end at this time because after that we are in house and at evening go our to outside for nothing. At 9 pm I came back from outside and sleep at 12 am  with the  dissatisfaction of missing Bangladeshi EID. 

This EID day was very gorgeous in Bangladesh , we all of friends celebrate it very much, Here i have nostalgia for my friends , Bangladesh and my culture .
