Ramadan 2005

See: http://www.submission.org/about-R.html

Ramadan starts on the fouth of oktober, and lasts untill november third.

The first time I tried to keep to Ramadan, was at high school, when I was 17. Since then I tried to do it every year. I never succeeded in doing the whole month. Last year I kept to it for two weeks, which I think was the longest period until now. This year I will try again.

I am not a muslim. Fasting during Ramadan is a personal thing, which I do not share with others. I do it because I think it is good to be aware of everything we find so normal in life. Amongst others: eating whenever you want. Maybe this year I will add to it, just to eat vegetarian, like the christians do during their fasting period.

The fasting period on the fourth of october will be from
sun up: 07.53 to
sun down: 19.19
