Today we begin a 6 day holiday from Tuesday to Sunday to celebrate the end of the month of Ramadan. Here is a cute email I received from one of my students:
Hello; My best teacher

I like you when you teaching me in the class. I want to tell you about EID in me village. In EID we wearing new clothes and shoes.
Also, We going to prey in the mousqe at 6:50. And the women go to cook some food such as: haris, rice and kabisa.
I hope you are very happy to know some information about EID in my village.
with regards.
I don’t plan on going on any long trips or anything during this short break. I’m just going to relax, meet a few close friends, spend more time with Che, do a lot of reading and try to organize things that I have neglected over the past several months. How nice to be on holiday!!!
