The entrance of Ramadan has brought a lot of wonderful blessings to the beautiful city of Betlehem.
People are so busy up with prayers and doing good to please God. Every evening, me and family, go for taraweeh-prayer in the mosque nearby.
But this year praying in this mosque has got a new taste. The mosque is filled up with praying people that kids and young boys have to pray outside at the street. Seeing people smiling, exited to catch up the taraweeh prayer in the mosque makes me so glad and gives me harmonious feelings. There is a spiritual competition during Ramadan, where everybody compites to act good towards people and to please Allah.

Unfortunately this same glad feeling can not be found at my university. Only first day of Ramadan we enjoyed the ramadan-decorations and the dates that we were given at the entrance of the university. But nowdays you can't find anything that reminds you of Ramadan. It is sadly since the whole city is celebrating Ramadan and a lot of the university's students are muslims.
I comfort myself although with the ramadan-greetings from my university.
