It was announced in the papers that it would begin tonight so fasting starts tomorrow. I've got everything prepared, it's just a matter of getting used to waking up at 3 AM to have a meal. Like last year I'll just keep the food and drinks on my nightstand and have it there so I can go straight back to sleep.
First light is at 3:20 in the morning and the sun sets around 18:20 so I'm fasting for 15 hours a day.

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 . . .
