simple realizations...

there's a prayer room in the mall...and I don't think twice about it.

I hear the prayer calls in my classroom and I smile as I know the noon prayer call means I've got 5 minutes left of class.

There's a mosque down the road and around 6pm it's impossible to drive around it--there are far too many cars parked on the sides of the roads.

5 times a day it's impossible to get anything done smoothly--then there's siesta in the middle of the afternoon, which means everyone takes a nap from 1-4pm. Yep, things run at snail speed in a country with more breaks that work time.
