It was a fun day strolling around a Ramadhan Bazaar.
First and foremost, to all Muslim Steemians who are fasting, Ramadhan Kareem!
It's the 3rd day of Ramadhan or the month of Fasting. Being a Muslim majority country where I am. It's quite a big thing. Especially when it comes to food. It's just common sense that if you are to fast from twilight to sunset, you'd want to eat delicious prepared food.
And for non-Muslims like me, there's only the best of both world. I get to eat delicious food without fasting for it. And the food is just AMAZING! Rows and rows, stalls after stalls each offering mouth different watering foods and drinks. This post would be too long if I include photos of what I see today.
I really admire these folk's perseverance to be able to not eat and drink anything the whole day.. Especially when they have to barbecue stuff in front of hot coal and smoke, looking at the delicious barbecued delicacies.
Just look at it. Tell me you're not already wet in the mouth!!
For those who may be sweet-toothed. There are these "layered cakes". They may look like bricks but I assure you, you're gonna have some tastebud-gasms after trying these. 😏😏
There's also these "apam balik"s that is simply irresistible to me. I can talk on and on about it. In fact, if anyone's interested, I may do a future posts on this! Or I might do it regardless of interest. Lol!
I hope you guys like today's post. And to those who may be be seeing the pictures while fasting, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
I also hope that no one will feel offended after seeing some of the "trigger words". The truth is that fear and hate is only being spread by a vocal 1%, regardless on which side they are on. The other 99% of us just wants to live as best as we can in a world where we try to make it as best as it can be.
Atheist, Christians, Muslims, regardless of what you believe, there could be peace as long as we see each other as fellow humans who are on this world together. And honestly, there is no better proof of this than the day to day going on of where I live here. There are 5 different majority races here with at least 36 other sub-ethnics living in a state across a few small towns.
Thanks again for enjoying today's post!

Thanks @good-karma! It's easier for me just because I use both laptop and smartphone but imagine the potential this app brings because it connects those previously restricted without laptops or computers.
