Everyone works like clockwork around the fasting and prayer rituals. Drivers and Boatmen will not leave for any place before 5.30am (their last meal for the day is at 4.30am before praying at the mosque until 5.25am), internet cafes, shops and such establishments close for half hour 5 times a day. Everything stops working, restaurants are empty or under renovation and when it's time to break the fast after sun down the roads are clear, the servers at restaurants are hunching behind counters waiting for the time so that they can have their first sip or bite of anything. Usually fasts are broken with the customary glass of seasoned milk.
It's a great time to be here and to be immersed in another way of living.
