TGIF

No really, it's Friday! Ok, ok so it's Thursday today, but Thursday is the new Friday. The weekend here for the public sector and schools is Thursday & Friday, and for the private sector it's usually Friday & Saturday.

Friday, being the common day off for everyone, is the holy day. Most small businesses and shops remain closed till the afternoon as this is the time Muslims will go to the mosque. Churches also have 'Sunday mass' on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays as well as Sundays. Restaurants, cafes and eateries will be open for the popular 'Friday brunch'!

So, Friday is actually the new Sunday but for us, it's Saturday. Confused already?
