This past month the Muslims participated in Ramadan, the month of fasting from dawn until sunset. Hari Raya is the celebration of the fast. Last weekend we were invited to a Hari Raya party. It was an experience quite unlike anything you'd encounter in the US. There were people from all over the world: the US, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, and India to name the ones I remember. And on the ride home our cabby was from Pakistan. (Jeremy tring to be friendly told him that he'd really like to go to Pakistan some day to see K2, the earth's second tallest mountain peak. He quickly replied, "Oh they would shoot you down!" Alright last time we're going to be friendly to pakistan cabbies!)
This is taking too long so I'm not going to comment on the pictures like I usually do. But there were funny games, good food, and of course my handsome little guy! Jeremy was handsome too as he said a few words in Malay! Good job hon you are becoming so cultured!

What a cool experience! I love their traditional clothes. They are so colorful though I can only imagine how hot they get. I can't believe that cabby said! Seriously, how do you reply to that?!
