Ramadan, not just for locals.

Well Ramadan is slowly coming to an end, now realizing i may not have explained what Ramadan is, i shall now. Ramadan is the ninth month of the islamic calendar, it is the islamic month of fasting. So the participating muslims must refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, sexual activities, and anything of ill nature from sun up to sun down. We as guest here have to abide by the same customs per say, while out in town that is. Not to smoke, eat, drink, and to wear pants. Who ever thought of having to wear pants in 120 degree weather is a little on the crazy side. When me and my buddy had went to the mall a while back, those pics i had posted with the silly-ness stuffed animals, we had our back packs and inside was a few bottles of water, we would walk into the head(bathroom) walk in a stall and quitely drink them. So for the most part, during this time, the majority of us never really travel outside of base til it is over. Most places are closed during the day anyway, hence the reason i am constantly here at the dome everynight, it sits just outside of base and plus the coffee twister is freaking awesome!! Now when Ramadan is over, i will once again be able to travel outside wearing shorts, yay. I will also be going over to the souq to buy some purses, amazing how most things here are so cheap. Oh yeah the purses are not for me if you were wondering. I dont roll like that.
