A very short (and incomplete) article in one of the Dutch newspapers say that (according to press agency Anadolu) many Turkish people will use diet plasters during Ramazan to overcome the hungry feeling. What is true of this? Do many people use them? You too?

Over the mouth?

I don´t see the use of them, fasting is not a very hard thing to do as I think the body soon becomes accustomed to it.  I suppose no water in very hot countries may be more of a discomfort.  And if one does find the going difficult then the thought of those who never know where their next meal is coming from , is very sobering.

I never get hungey in ramadan its soo easy!(i never get hungry on normal days either ) but I get sooo thirst especially coz i drink soo much normally i love coke and juice!(i dont really like water) BUT OMG!! Im gonna be in egypt this ramadan and fasting in september!!!AAAAAAAAAH!!! TOO HOT!!!but its really okay in the winter (fasting that is), i think ill sleep all day

when does ramazan start exactly? has it started already? what have i missed?

 You haven´t missed anything.  Ramazan begins 1st September.  You may find this site useful for future reference.  You´ll have to scroll to find 2008.
