Bullets- and Ramadan

Let me do this in bullets:

• Those kind of people, the sad but beautiful people(here)
• This beautiful post. [here]

• my own little guest post on Loveology. I tried to keep it as loveology-like as I can...

On an entirely different level, the month of Ramadan starts tomorrow or Saturday (we're not yet sure, since it's a lunar month) 

Ramadan is the month when Muslims fast from dawn till sunset, basically, we don't eat, or drink, or smoke until sunset. But people always stress the fact that it is not just "physical fasting" but also spiritual.
If you are fasting you can't kiss, or have any "sexual" contact, before breaking your fast.

If you are fasting you make a point of being nice to everyone. You try as much as you can to control your temper (which, trust me, is very hard in the Cairo traffic, and heat!). Oh, you also try to help people. Especially the poor. It is an early Ramadan this year. And everyone knows it's going to be hard.

In Egypt, it is an amazing month. Everyone visits everyone else, you go out to lounges after breaking your fast "iftar" and have shisha! and sometimes you can even go out after Sohour (which is the night meal, very late at night, before the break of dawn)

And we have fawanees (singular: fanoos)

We also eat TONS of sweets!

 

Qatayef (here)

We have a prayer unique to Ramadan; taraweeh and masjids are insanely crowded that people pray on the streets!

There's a lot more to say, and more to show. Cairo is a wonderful city! I will take pictures of Cairo in Ramadan!
