Yesterday, while driving home from work I almost forgot and drank a sip of water. It's extremely hot in Kuwait and I was really thirsty. Thank goodness I remembered because you are not allowed to drink except on a US military installation or the privacy of your own home. I could make it without food during the day but I can't imagine going without water in this heat or my morning coffee. I really admire the devout Muslims who work all day in this hot weather and adhere to the fast. They are very dedicated to their religion.
everybody I know is talking about how inconsiderate and how it is agains the constitution that we are suppose to base our laws from (which unfortunately isn't the case) this law is ...but what can we do ... I found that all restaurants are open at the airport and everyone is eating (offcourse that is after u check in)

ReplyDeleteYo, hubby lit a cigarette yesterday and barely remembered and put it out right away.
ReplyDeleteAnd I went into the elevator munching fresh dates, but also remembered, before getting out.
The water part is the hardest part.
I simply don't go anywhere during the day .... :S
