Hi Dan! So lovely to see you alive and well as always! I'm surprised to hear about your experiences at the Mosque but I guess we experienced it at different times of day, perhaps it was a little bit unlucky on your part to face the thousands of people coming out at the end of the service, but even still, I'm surprised they made you feel judged as I felt anything but welcome there, maybe it's because i'm not a tall, white or american?
I did experience on thing there which was slightly strange which was going down to the labelled toilets, only to be told I wasn't allowed to use that one, even though I saw other people walking straight down. Felt a little bit discriminated at that point, but that was the worse of it.
At first I was a little uncomfortable with the cape, I felt a little bit silly as it's so far from what I usually wear, but I figured that I have to respect the etiquette.
I'll definitely drop by your blog soon and have a good gander, it's been a while since i've had a chance to just enjoy blogs and I know that yours will be top top quality!
I'm actually going to be exploring Europe for the next few months but I haven't decided exactly where yet, probably a bit all around!
