Ramadan
Vacation from 28 Jun to 12 Jul 2012, had a real hard time coming back.
Now back at work and accepted the cruel reality.
Ramadan started yesterday. I've worked in Qatar through the Ramadan period before, so it's not entirely a new thing to me. Basically, we still work as usual, it's just that we have to observe some "rules" in public, like not eating, drinking or even having a candy in your mouth, not to talk loudly etc. Restaurants are also not open till sun set, so we can't get any breakfast or lunch from anywhere.
It's not exactly life-changing kind of things, just a bit of inconvenience. The most difficult part for me is not able to drink in the car. My drive to the site office in Mesaieed is very far (about an hour) and I need my water bottle with me in the car in this wretched weather.
Ramadan Kareem. :)

I will have to be conscious about not eating and drinking in public during this time. So it's ok that we carry the water bottle in bag. and sip it inside our own private office?
In office or in your own home, you want to eat roti prata with curry chicken also can ah. It's just don't eat/drink in public, not even a candy in your mouth.
I usually pack lunch and eat in office, my office doesn't have many muslims and no locals.
