There is one culture that Became iconic during the days of Eid moment of "MUDIK" or go back home to my hometown to be Gathered to celebrate the day of Eid. In Indonesia, the outflow of population from rural to urban or very high urbanization occurred, many villagers who migrate come to town in various regions in Indonesia to try his luck or searching for a better life with a variety of professions work that was Involved.
