At sundown on the first Sunday of the month, the Muslim holy period of Ramadan kicked off and will continue until the evening of 4th June. Well-known for the fasting period, Ramadan is one of the holiest months for Muslims that commemorates the first revelation of the Qur’an to Muhammad according to Islamic history.

Wrapped in organic cotton robe, sipping my favorite Pukka herbal tea {also organic}, soaking in the Danish air, sitting in the hip pool area of Manon Les Suites Hotel, that's how my first day ended in Copenhagen. Inspired by the Bohemian-theme, the hotel blends an eclectic hip design with Bali's tropical influence, a touch of New York cool and strong Danish character.
