Things I'd Forgotten

*The Ramadan drummer walks the streets beating his drum to wake everyone up for their last meal before sunrise (at 4 am). UGH!!

*It smells different here. Not better or worse, just different.

*My kitchen is narrow.

*Living in a flat means trying to live as quietly as possible.

*It feels good to walk places.

*The bus is crowded.

*Fresh hot Ramadan Pide is fantastic!

*Our friends and neighbors here are really kind.

*Our elevator is tiny.

*The Call to Prayer blaring over the loudspeaker from the mosques always reminds me that we are in a foreign land.

*All of the rules are different here.

*No matter how much it feels like you are about to die is the taxi, you never really do.

*The suitcases cannot unpack themselves.
