wait for the teenage kids to come around, obviously this only happens in the apartment blocks. but did you know that at ramadan you can place your cooking pot outside certain 'palaces' and they get refilled every day for the whole month of ramadan, so nobody goes hungry that month.

What happens if you say no, do they walk away or tell you to ***** off and pelt you with eggs, like in the UK (okay, maybe only at halloween).

what you were 'off the island' yeh if you live around manasir areas where all the palaces are you see them all queuing at various palaces waiting for the delivery of food every day. in btb there arent any palaces, as all the important ones are in the manasir area.
