End of Ramadan
Oct. 23rd, 2006 09:19 pmThe streets by Mile End tube were crowded with cars tonight, most of them filled with young Muslim boys. They shouted from open windows, bleated horns and played loud music, celebrating the end of Ramadan.
During the weekend, while walking around my neighbourhood, I saw young Muslim guys lined up outside barbers. They looked cute, these 20-something-year-olds, sitting in neat rows, escorted by their moms in some cases, awaiting their turn on the barber's chair. The end of Ramadan also means my gym will be once again busy, and I'll spend a good amount of time waiting for machines to be vacated. I might use the pool during the week and save my weightlifting for the weekend.
I would like, one day, to eat a typical Muslim meal during the month of Ramadan. I bet they prepare delicious dishes to be eaten when the night sets in. I wonder if there is a great variety of dishes, depending on the culture the Muslim family comes from.
