I arrived at the Sarah compound. It is nice but not totally. There is a pool, gym and a basketball court. There are 3 drivers on staff, and there is a watch man there 24/7. For Fajr, I heard the athan and went searching for a masjid. So I left with my Jameelah, and together in the darkness of the morning hours, we followed the few men who were entering a building in front of our compound. It was a masjid. I was the only woman there along with Jameelah. It was fun. Then, my driver was there and he told me that women cant enter from where I did. And I told him that the entrance was closed. He said ok. Together he walked me back to the compound, with the look that he did not expect me to walk out of the compound and pray in the masjid. He was a cool guy from Sudan. My roomies are so pleasant. There is a woman from South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. They are nice. Internet connection is horrible here. G2g will write more later.
