So I am leaving for Canada. While Ramadan is 29-30 days for me it’s ending after 16. Fasting was challenging, but not as hard as I thought it would be. You really do get used to it, just like my Muslim friends said. And it was nice to set my time more like the rest of Qatar, enjoy the late-night festivities, and to have iftar with my friends. Here’s some pictures to recap:
a typical Sohour meal (if you look closely you can read the type of dates from the package.
Iftar at the Cigale hotel
An iranian restaurant in the Souq
The lecture of Dr. Zakir Naik
Iftar at an Iraqi restaurant
The "Jetsons" mosque where I witnessed the evening prayer
Chillin out with a shisha at the W Hotel
And iftar at a Syrian restaurant.
It was a cool expereince.
I'll try to post from Canada while I'm there. See you soon.
In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .
