Ramadan it's a really interesting time in muslims countries.
For a whole month, people who follow the tradition, don´t eat, don´t drink also water, or not smoking...de sunrise to sunset.
At about 20.13 in Kayseri the call from the mosques give the signal and dinner with family, friends. What is known as Iftar. And the city start to be crowded.
Or in places like this where many people gather and receive free food.
After midnight, around 3.00 take Sahur, like breakfast.
To live and share the experience Julia and me started fasting. I thought in the beginning that it would be more complicated, especially not to drink water, but it seems that the body gets used to everything ...
The next few weeks our energies were very low and we started to relax a little fasting: P
We did not eat in front of others, only in the morning at home, and some water during the day.
A long month in which Kayseri rest during the day and night live longer. The shops stay open until late at night.
Ramazan Street full of lights and stalls to buy or eat something.
Really an interesting experience, I think we were lucky to live Ramazan and learn about the traditions.
