Around here we're still in official holiday season mode, have been since Christmas. Things started shutting down around Dec 25th, then there was the A9ed that started on the 30th. It was supposed to last for 3 days but since it would have ended on a Monday they just decided to go ahead and officially extend it for the rest of the week. That would have meant that things should have been picking up again Saturday. But then Sunday the 7th was the Coptic Christmas and we couldn't miss celebrating that...even though something like 93% of the people in my country are Muslim. Then there wa's today which is the day after Christmas but things were still closed down and everything was just slow. Then there's tomorrow....
Yesterday, tomorrow wasn't a holiday. But today, for some reason, they declared that tomorrow is 'Peace Day'. It's not like it's an official holiday or anything. I've been here for 9 months and this is the 3rd peace day that I've seen and there's still no peace...shocking. So what will happen is that everyone will stay home tomorrow and think about how great it would be if there were some semblance of peace in this country. Then they will go back to work and do everything they possibly can to make sure that that doesn't happen. It's a vicious cycle.
