Let me post two in a row to catch up...
What have I been up to?
The last post was on the 8th of September, just before Eid ul Fitr -the break of ramadhan.
Ramadhan traditionally ends when the new moon is sighted. While some countries just decides the date for the end of ramadhan, Tanzania takes a traditional method -the most important muslim person of Tanzania decides -ie, if he sights the new moon, that's the end of ramadhan. If he can't see the moon for whatever reason, another day of fasting. I was told that the break of ramadhan is often a day later than other countries. (Apparently this year Kenya was a day late!)
So, on the evening of Thursday the 9th we (ppl in my office) gathered on the office balcony, saw the moon and went home happily because it meant that Friday became a day off.
What did I do? well, cool people go to the beach for ramadhan break!
So I joined a bunch of ppl for surfing excursion to South Beach, just on the south of dar es salaam.
Do I surf? um, not really. But I like trying.
Well, even if I could -even those surfers I went there with were struggling to catch the wave, because the ocean was nice 'n' calm, perfect for light beach fun.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed floating on the board, paddling, using my unused mascles, having fun under the sun :)
