Today is the beginning of Ramadan. This special holy time will go on for nearly
a month (a cycle of the moon). Ramadan is
observed by fasting from dawn to dusk, and class times at the university
have been rearranged to allow folks to get home by sundown for Ramadan Iftar,
the breaking of the fast. From what we are told, there is a lot of celebration
each evening, so people will be getting progressively more tired,
but there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.
