let's do lunch....Ramadan style

Eating lunch behind the curtains, a common expat-wives activity during Ramadan

You may wonder how "the ladies who do lunch" survive during Ramadan. Luckily, with the recent rise in tourism, the government has been forced to allow hotels to operate one restaurant during fasting hours. This is always discretely covered in a curtain so the food cannot be seen by the Muslims. My readers will be happy to know that we are a tenacious group. It doesn't take us long to find the curtained-off places and continue with our lunches.

I make a sandwich and pack a water bottle for David to take to work because there isn't lunch service during Ramadan. He hides it in his desk and closes his door when it is lunch time.

We went to the movies in Dubai last night and the concession stand was closed when we got there about 5:00 pm. The popcorn had already been popped, so the smell was very tempting. I noticed that there had been some confiscated contraband at the ticket counter. Bags with water, drinks and snacks were piled up. The theater still showed Coke commercials and the actors in the movies were eating and drinking. The concession attendants were standing behind the counter just watching the clock, waiting for 6:37pm. Once the sun had set, we were able to finally enjoy popcorn and a drink ....about half-way through our movie. .

I'm not sure the point of all of this when they can still watch movies and TV with people eating??? Blue-eyesight just isn't getting it???
I need a frappuchino!!!!
