Eid Mubarak! (and apartment pictures)

After 4 weeks of not being able to eat outside, the eid is finally here! Ramadan, the muslim holy month of fasting, ended yesterday.

During Ramadan, muslims are supposed fast from sun-up till sun-down, and the government helps that by making it illegal to serve food in restaurants or eat in public during the day. Meaning I could be arrested for a drop of water on a parched tongue.

Yesterday, it all ended. So now I can eat outside as much as I want and go to restaurants during the day to my little heart's desire.

At the end of Ramadan is the Eid break. Eid Mubarak! (happy eid) The actual Eid holiday is only three days, but we get a whole week off of school. Score. So I'll be hanging out for the most part. Some friends are fleeing paradise island, but others are staying, so it'll be fun to connect with some of those who I haven't seen in a while.

Some have wanted to see pictures of my new apartment: Well, here's a few to break it down for you.



My bedroom - though there is a wardrobe where the suitcase sits






















Entrance to the apartment - my dining room/office area again



my dining room/office area - from a different perspective



My kitchen - which still doesn't have a stove or counter space. soon, insha'alla















There is another room that is not pictured - a second bedroom that will serve as the living room. But there is nothing in there yet except for empty boxes and dust. Once I get what I need for that, put up some more pictures.

So that's it - my apartment. Its a nice place for one person.
