It was really difficult! Every single mosque I stopped at was closed, and people told me to go away. They only open when it's prayer time, which made it hard for me to pray Salah.
What was the most memorable interaction you had?
Probably the people at the barbershop. They were really cool, even though I couldn't communicate well, and I got a cheap haircut!
What was the food like?
There was a lot of interesting street food, but I saw some things that looked a little strange, like feet and what I think were testicles!
