Due to this blog being a school assignment, I have decided that I've learned a lot but I rather not continue with my blog after this post. In honor of this being my last post, I wanted to do a "Day in the Life" kind of thing. What a typical day in Sudan is like. This post will be from my prospective.
Since Sudan is a Muslim country, most people wake up at sunrise to pray their first prayer of the day,Fajir(Muslims pray five times a day). Once they're done with that, they go back to sleeping. In the morning, when fully awake most enjoy a cup of tea with cookies.
After that, the students who need to go to school go, and the people who work go to work. The morning is when activities around the house are to be done, for example cooking and cleaning. Then around Noon is when the next prayer, Duhr, needs to be prayed. After they pray, they eat a meal. I guess you can compare it to breakfast in the U.S. When that's done most enjoy watching television or due to the hot sun, take a nap.
Around four or five o'clock the third prayer, Asr, is prayed. After that, lunch is eaten. Around this time, people usually go run errands and visit people they need too. This is because the sun isn't as hot as Noon time. At sunset, the fourth prayer, Magrib is prayed. Around this time, most events occur such as weddings or parties. If families want to go out, they go around sunset. At around 8 or 9 o'clock, Isha is prayed and dinner is eaten after that. When all the days activities are complete and homework is done, it's time for bed and then a cycle of the day in the morning occurs.
I'm thrilled that this experience seems like it was a good one for you. I do understand that not everyone keeps blogging. But as long as you feel you've learned and gained something from the writing you did here, well, that's quite a big win, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteJust keep watching word choice (prospective vs. perspective), spacing, etc. Those little things can sometimes make the difference between how much a reader invests into believing the text and writer.
Your blog continues to interest me. Over time I have heard that in different countries, order is lacking. An example of this would be that in Italy they don't form lines like we do in America therefore making the typical trip to McDonald's chaotic. Is it the same in Sudan? It is also interesting to see that even in different countries, everyday tradition remains the same.
