Ramadan's Journal #11

YouTube has a special channel for Ramadan. Check out HERE.

You will not find prayers, preaching or discussions. All you will find is SOAP OPERA. Yes, that's it: during Ramadan special soaps and television series are aired. What's better than having families meeting for dinner - and obviously watching TV together? :-P

The channel has series from several countries where Muslims are majority and, therefore, depicts distinct faces of MENA - with tons of drama. From rich posh characters and women in clothes I wouldn't dare to wear to belly dances and sheesha; from that "tendencious" Arabic flair to MTV more modern verve: only you need to understand Arabic, because there is no subtitles. But even if you don't,  it's worth to check at least the first minutes of some of them, because they show some kind of main scenes with some pop/folk music in the background.

Enjoy!
