Domestic Disturbance
Perhaps staying at home on a holiday isn't as "anti-cultural" as one might have expected.
Right now, I'm privy to a serious-sounding argument between a husband and wife. I can't make out much of what they're saying, but there is a lot of "I swear," "I don't want," and "not good" coming out of their mouths. Hmm...sounds like the neighbour just got in on the act and told them to shut up.
It is times like this I wish I could speak Arabic.
This is still going on. Now the woman is yelling out "haraam...," which is the equivalent to blasphemy. There is definitely a third person involved...trying to calm the guy down (he continues to scream at the top of his lungs).
The argument ended up lasting for 3-4 hours. At one point, I heard the call to prayer and questioned to a friend, "I wonder if they'll stop to pray." Low and behold, the arguing ceased for about 20 minutes and then re-ignited wants prayer time was over.

dude you should have lived in my house in alex for a while. Our neighbor from the third floor was a mean woman who would shout at her peaxceful 8 year old all the time.
Our opposite neighbor was a poor woman with two devils in high school - she used to scream soooo bad.
And then there was our house....
too bad you can't tell what they are saying
i'm still amused that one you watched this through your kitchen window and two that they stopped and had an intermission b/c of prayer!
