Ramadan is 31 days!

Yesterday there was a guy in the papers weeping that he started Ramadan when he was in KSA a day before Egypt, and now he's in Egypt and there is a big chance that Ramadan will be 30 days in Egypt this year. So the guy was asking the sheikhs to tell him what to do, he'll be fasting Ramadan for 31 days or should he follow KSA to the end!
Now this is hilarious, people in the gulf still counts on any two adults to see the moon with their bear eyes to announce the beginning of Ramadan, while in Egypt they use astrology to determine it long before the month begins. What's really funny is that the word around is that no way anybody could have seen the moon in the gulf region that night some even suggested that the may have spotted the planet Neptune!!!!
What's even funnier is that a lot of Egyptians resent the fact that we depend on astrology they say we should follow KSA anyway, some even do!
