For the entire month of Ramadan (which ends in 4 hours) it is illegal to eat, drink, or smoke in public while the sun is up. If caught, you can be imprisoned for the remaining duration of Ramadan and fined up to $250. Julie and I made it through the holy month without event. Julie did eat a peanut leaving Safeway a few weeks back, but luckily no one noticed. This law doesn't bother me near as much as the fact that all liquor stores are forced to close for the month. You can still drink, but it has to be done at spendy 5 star hotels. Oh how I long for the days of $2 cans of Amstel.
