We're into the second week of Ramadan now and we were invited to a friend's house for an Iftar dinner. It was delicious! Unfortunately I can't remember the names of all the dishes and drinks. We went to the mall last weekend and many stores were shut down during the afternoon. Most open in the morning and then shut down around noon or 1 pm. They they re-open around 6 or 7 and close around midnight. I've been able to work a few shorter work hours during Ramadan as the law stipulates here for most people. I like being able to start work at 9 am though!
Below are some interesting stories that I've found. It seems that my media list is growing longer....
