Many people in our City don’t fast, but are respectful of those that do. So no eating or drinking in public or right before Iftar (because people are waiting those last long minutes in restaurants). This makes me realize how often we eat on the streets here.
Who doesn’t fast: school children, teachers (at least at Kid.01’s school), menstruating women (this seems fair).
Some Turks do a fast only for a weekend.
We visited a family and they served us tea, cake and cookies. Only later did I realize the hosts were fasting. Now that’s hospitality.
Ramadan is used to sell stuff, like Christmas or the Fourth of July.
