Today's story was told by a friend, who has just arrived - by plane. At 2:00 in the morning.
She explained that three planes had landed at similar times and, therefore, the immigration queue was long. Very long. Now, it's not a normal immigration situation. It's a queue of people who has until 3 in the morning to eat their last meal (the vast majority of them, at least), which is the time of the first prayer, during Ramadan's month.
I suppose the whole thing gets a new scope because immigration officers are probably in the same situation of the travellers - and want to finish their job as soon as possible. My friend said they were working as fast as she never saw before.
Honestly, I wonder why the West still believes in secularism. In this part of the world, it seems but a faint trace of another dimension.
