A dozen-hour flight, or simply an ocean away from home, Ramadan feels so special this year.
It feels weird not to hear adhan announce iftar time, weird not to see restaurants close during the day, weird not to see totally empty streets at sunset, and not to see drivers lose their minds a few minutes before sunset, trying get home before Iftar. .
But it feels so special though to see one meal bring together people from all over the world. Pakistanis, Indians, Sudanese, Egyptians, Kuwaitis, Kazazkhs, Maleisians… and a Moroccan gather in one place these days, share their first meal of the day, and the joy of learning things about each other .
To all Muslims around the globe I wish a blessed Ramadan.

aha... you have a great ramadhan time too? i do here in fayetteville. we've got a mosque next to the campus (actually it's more than a mere mosque, it's the islamic center of northwest arkansas). they provide free iftaar everyday during the weekdays and on the weekends it's our turn to cook iftaar. on saturday last week, the pakistanis served their amazing food, and on sunday we indonesians charmed the jamaah with our national food :D. basically, it's a nice and 'different' ramadhan here. the thing is, you can be easily touched during ramadhan, ramadhan gives me melancholia, you know. home, wife, son, family, they do come more often in my memory these days....
Bessaha w raha :)
nice to see ya happy :) and weird :P

Si pemimsi >>> Wawannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!! :p Welcome to my blog brother !!
Well I do understand how you feel. Nothing compares to spending such occasions with the family. But this is just an exception, and we'll be united again with those we love inshaAllah:)
For Iftar, I live only 10 minutes away from the Islamic Center, and that's where I meet Muslims from all over the world :)
