This month started the fasting season for Muslims. In Ramadhan Season, Muslim also breaks their fast but the breaking of fast happens after the sun has set, which i think around 6:00 in the evening. to know more of their sacred ritual, you can read it here: Ramadan
In our office we celebrated the breaking of fast at the front office (Pharmacy Area). local foods were served and we witnessed the prayer of my Muslim co-workers prior to breaking of fast.
Everyone had fun and i was soooo full from too much eating. food choices were overwhelming.

It was actually nice to experience this type of occasion. Growing up in a Catholic Country limits my exposure with other religions. And now, living in a totally different place widens my understanding of different traditions, cultures and religions.
Traveling is indeed the best life teacher :)
