Not sure where your friend is living, but apparently, what she’s failed to tell you is that soon after the Iftar starts which is at sun set, the whole town starts buzzing with activities all the way until well after mid night

But that shouldn't be the case really, should it? I mean, if you turn the day upside down, not eating during daylight hours isn't that hard.

I pretty much don't consume anything after sunset and before sunrise most days and don't feel the need to drive like a lunatic.

I went to MOE today, pretty busy considering, but why do people blatantly ignore the dress code, and why do the malls let them get away with it!! girl in a strapless dress, people were staring. Don't get me wrong I don't give a hoot what people wear but it Ramadan it does annoy me.

No problem - plenty of places open............ if not, try strolling through DIFC at any time of day - you see those big curtains.....? I was in Cafe Nero at 3.30pm today, and Caribou Coffee at 4.30pm yesterday.

It just isn't that hard to cover up a little so as to keep people happy. Such a minor thing really. I popped in Aswaaq at about 7pm tonight and there was a woman in there in a short strapless dress.

Is it ignorance or obstinance?

Why do I suspect Brits and Russians as being the culprits?
