THE city fathers of Sabang in Aceh recently issued a ban on its local residents celebrating the New Year. Apparently, after 2,020 years, they’ve decided that such festivities are not in line with their local
customs and traditions. However, they will still welcome tourists. Presumably not the celebratory type. A destination for the dour only.
