Fasting for Lunch (Ramadan Month)

With Ramadan going on this month we've decided to do our 'weekly culture' based on how Ramadan is effecting us and the community!

Fasting for lunch (Ramadan Month)!

Part of the Ramadan month is fasting all day (no eating or drinking). Muslims will eat a early morning breakfast before the sun comes up and then eat dinner after the sun goes down. During this time we have to close our dining room curtains when we eat (7-12-5) to be polite to those people around us choosing not to eat or drink while we are.

Our dining room normally...

This is how we now eat all our meals, with the curtains closed!

This 'being polite' to others has also effected local restaurants here. So places choose to close all together during the day while others just 'some how' block the view of people eating in side!

Even the 'small' whole in the wall sit and eat places will cover up!
