"...and it would be wise to make youself more aware of any more local cultural or religious issues depending on the destination"
Bear,
what do you think slasher wanted to know?
@Slasher
During Ramadan everything is frozen during day, because itīs fasting - month. Unfortunally many muslems pick up weight during that time. Why? - lots of them eat sweet stuff all night. The result is a rapid decrees of blood sugar in the morning. Expect the expats working normal, the locals working with half speed.
I hope, that you are aware of the local culture and religious issues now
