Worked great for the Duck and I when we arrived at the end of Ramadan, no airport pass processed for 2 weeks or so, drivers license 3 or more trips to the police station, fingerprinting, visiting the Ministries of 'not sure what we do here' and then the icing on the cake, Eid arrived. So we went from 'Bukurah Inshallah' to 'After Eid'...all in work time, we were happy with that!!

But it was fun and we did come home each day after shawarma's in Ruwi for a cold bevvy and a house full of frankincense and had a good laugh about it....possibly overdid the frankincense thing one night and still have the smell in my nostrils 12 years later!!

Fond memories. As long as you come with the mindset that things aren't done like they are everywhere else in the world (would be boring place otherwise!!), take a chill pill and let things happen when they happen...you'll be fine!
