Saha!

And now I’m going to get accused of thievery.

No matter – I’ve wanted to show the folks outside North Africa McRamadan ever since I learned about it nearly two and a half years ago...even months before I moved to a land that enables a person to break the fast with fast food.



When I first heard of it, I simultaneously wanted to tell everyone I knew and also wrestled with whether or not the concept was inherently culturally insensitive. Now, into my third year in North Africa, I no longer have such qualms.

Yes, McDonald’s exists in North Africa, and it proudly celebrates the month of Ramadan.

This is my standard eating pose. Click on the picture to see another one almost identical to it.
Saha!
