Hey Dlish... No, I haven't tried to follow the fasting regimen since I've been here. I've hung out with people who are fasting and have been to a few Hari Raya meals (the food!).
Last year a group of us (mostly teachers from my wife's school) took a weekend trip to an island on the east cost of Malaysia. Our mini bus stopped en route to let us stretch our legs and use the toilets. We stopped at an al fresco roadside restaurant. It was right at sunset. It was very odd to see all of the tables filled with people. The table laden with food. Nobody was eating. I noticed it right off and knew what was happening. I had to explain it to the rest of the group, some of whom where a bit uncomfortable.
While we were standing there, the call to prayer commenced and so did the eating...
