After another year of pandemic stress, some residents of Greater Jakarta are forgoing the usual festivities to ring in the New Year with a quiet evening at home, after the government decided to ban crowd-pulling celebrations.

One of these homebodies is Jihaniar Mahiranisa, 26, who is opting to stay in with her husband on New Year’s Eve.

“To be honest, I don’t really have any specific plans. Throughout the pandemic, I try to keep myself from going out and socializing if it isn’t urgent,” said the Jakarta-based private company worker.
