Hey local guides happy Ramadan Mubarak for you who celebrate . in Indonesia we have tradition that’s call "ngabuburit " mean spending time with some activities since afternoon , waiting untill time for iftar or sunset or magbri. People’s usually hangout with friends,cooking ,hunting food , doing charity , prayers , etc .

Ramadhan this year unfortunately really busy time for me ,even covid-19 still risk for all us . So my ngabuburit spending time for overtime and sometime stuck on traffic LOL .And all of struggling fasting with much overtime is over ,payday is the day of employees happiness ha ha .
Cashless is the best option , but not everyone accept the concept of cashless especially small businesses or people with limited access technology.So as my post before here payday story , Long queue is fact ,yeah and I’m IN , I think ngabuburit stand in long queue in front of automatic teller machine ATM not really bad experience .

But my ngabuburit not going smoothly ,heavy rain pouring all of us and time is running out to first time . The queue more short than before and we decided for keep in the line . Yeah this is really challenging struggle , it’s time for iftar finally and leave 5 people in the line but the ATM machine is ERROR need more time for automatic restarting ,and outside of room ATM still heavy rain .
And thanks God ,few of security guard of ATM room coming for us and shared water and several bags of food , they are know we’re fasting and it’s time to iftar. And finally we’re 5 person doing iftar ramadhan in the room of ATM , I know this not good example because iftar in the public space but this room not "really public " because privilege for employees only .

After the iftar everything looking so good , heavy rain outside stopped,and the ATM machine back to normal .But there is other problem , the money is empty and can’t do tap cash transaction just for non cash transaction .
Actually many of ATM machine near us but not same of bank and will get charged . All right, we’ve been through a lot , let’s keep fighting . There another one ATM machine our bank but located in A factory mean 20 minutes by walking . With one of them Aprilia , i decided to riding motorbike together for skip time ,tired ha ha .
Finally we got the cash of money from ATM in factory A after the long drama , and story ending is riding together dropped Aprilia home first before back my home .

So this is tiring , but this small thing I did , tap cash of money from ATM , buying credit call,sms or internet data for my phone at the store of my neighbours , or paid of electricity bills to someone as his occupation . I know I can handled all with only one touch on my smartphone . Like today this is my struggling ngabuburit but I thankful for today I have something to write here on connect .
Thanks for read this boring post , best prayer for all of you local guides stay healthy stay blessed .
