Mudik 2017
Today’s Doodle marks the start of Mudik, a yearly homecoming in Indonesia.
City folks take this time to travel far and wide to visit family in rural villages.
Travelers get home any way they can — by motorbike, train, car and bus.
Local governments even offer mudik gratis, discounted tickets helping motorbike travelers to take ferries and buses.
Leading up to Mudik, cities become ghost towns when their residents leave.
In fact, electricity use in Jakarta can decrease by up to 70% during Mudik!
Despite all the traffic, Indonesians happily jump into the hustle and bustle of travel in order to bring back loads of oleh-oleh, or souvenirs, for their relatives.
Safe travels to all and happy Mudik!
