During the month of Ramadan, muslims (even those who are not terribly devout) refrain from food, water, tobacco, and sex during the hours that the sun is up. Also expected to abstain are infidels working in muslim countries. So thid means in practice that if you eat, you have to hide in your office.
Now the fun part: gum is included in this. Its like being back in Chicora Elementary....no gum allowed. This will be very tough for me.
The holiday doesn't make a lot of sense, but most don't. Once, as I explained Easter in the US I was asked, "wait, so the rabbit was resurrected?"
