Today’s the first day of Ramadhan, the month where Muslim’s fast and devote to prayer, and is the month in which the Quran was revealed. I woke up around 5am and joined my Lebanese friends in the crew room for something to eat before the fast commenced.

The day was quite eventful! Roads here at FTE turned into mini-rivers or streams in a matter of minutes as the thunderstorm raged above. A lightning bolt managed to hit the building and take out the lights and air conditioning. It also took out the phone lines and the internet. Below are a few photos my friends took.

Almost looks like an island.. it’s in fact a roundabout!

Dan standing in the middle of a lake.. in front of the canteen?
