Tell us what you do during Bayram… like do you eat special things, go to special places?
What’s the story?
Not allowed to eat anything before 1800. Not even drink water.
You are thinking of Ramadan, there.
Yeh Ramadan. Will be there this June and getting the kids ready for it.
Even carrying a water bottle is a no no for the adults but the 5 year olds should be ok.
Boy are they in for a culture shock.
Yes, but the holiday that Lordo is talking about is the Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, an annual public holiday held on 19 May in Turkey, and since the TRNC observes the same public holidays as Turkey, it is also celebrated there.
