So Ramadan ended last week. It's great to complete the month of fasting and go down to my boyfriend's family home and eat like crazy and have a nice day with them. However, a slightly awkward moment occurred this year.
In the car, nearing the mosque parking lot:
BF's sister: Hey guys, look at that white guy! What is a white guy doing here??
Dodo: Well I guess I don't have to wonder what everyone is going to think when I walk by!
Also, I discovered that bangs really don't work well with head scarves, especially when adamantly trying to completely conceal one's hair in the name of God.
