The schedule of the comparison with the Arabs coincides not only with that of school income but also with work, which could lead to the organization of colleagues to put together a general breakfast.
In fact, many bakeries and confectioneries in the Federal Capital and surroundings have already confirmed that they will open their doors earlier than usualFor example, a traditional woman from the Palermo neighborhood confirmed that she will attend from 4:30 in the morning, when her usual schedule is from 6:30 or 7.
