Every Tuesday we only have 2 hours of class (instead of 4), and for the second half of class we're given a mission to go somewhere we've never been by means of bus and learn some new vocab. This past week I chose to go to St. Joseph's Cathedral.
Last year they held service everyday of the week, but since the government disapproved, they had to change it to only two services once a week on Sundays.
A couple weekends ago I checked out one of the servies. The place was packed with people (mostly elderly women). Every seat was taken and there were a bunch of people standing. As far as I could tell, it seemed like a traditional Catholic service. They read from the Bible, sang some hymns, and sprinkled people with holy water. I couldn't make out most of what they were saying cause we have never really studied vacab to relate to a church setting, but I think they were talking about he importants of the Sabbath day.
