First Night of Ramadan

On the first night after the start of Ramadan the streets were empty for an hour as everyone in Cairo broke their fast. I fasted too, just to see how it was, and after the first four hours when I thought I would die, it became much easier. Dehydration can make you delirious, which means that everything becomes really funny. A month of laughing? I could do that. 
(Not to discount the historical and spiritual importance of Ramadan fasting.)
