its me ahmad your office mate from ibri college. you used to eat a lot of falafils in front of me. lol. very interesting observation of ramadan. anyway its not that hard coz we eat something in sahoor ( a meal before dawn) but obviosly very difficult and irritating for the westerners if even the cafes are closed. it wasn't as difficult for you as it was for me in oman coz i had to search an appartment with my empty stomach. it would be great if you share this stuff with your students.
cheers

Unless you're an insomniac, traveling during Ramadan can be very challening. Abstaining from food and water during the daylight hours is like intentionally giving yourself a hangover without the alcohol (I tried it on the first day and thought I was gonna die).
Salam (peace),
BaxterGood call, Travellohr.

TravellohrSat, 22 Aug 2009 21:51:35 +0000http://www.bravenewtraveler.com/?p=1074#comment-93767This is why I planned my trip to start after the end of Ramadan. Not even any water all day in 100 degrees? I would be lying unconcious in the street.This is why I planned my trip to start after the end of Ramadan. Not even any water all day in 100 degrees?

Tongue tisking is when you click your tongue against the back of your teeth. Done usually (at least in this part of the world) when you see somebody doing something haram (forbidden).
I've even heard it being done at the movie theater here when the Muslim ladies see something on the screen they don't agree with.Thanks, ya’ll!
