Ramadan...and Its Discontents

soooo...I should have realized this earlier but Ramadan began yesterday and in my ignorance I did not predict the affects of such a holiday. Turns out most of the shops I need to visit to set up my life will operate on erratic hours through late September and it will be difficult to buy (let alone eat) food during daylight hours. Battle plan: stick to Eastern Standard Time and then I'll be awake when everyone else is breaking thier fast.

On the other hand, it's a good month to be a prisoner in the UAE. To mark the coming of Ramadan, Sheikh Mohamed pardoned nearly 600 prisoners.
