I admit that I'm not a good English speaker. In this post you informed me about the first day of Ramadhan. Yes it is true that the fasting month starts on August 22 2009. I bet you are Chinese and Chinese also uses lunar calendar just like Muslims who use Hegira Calendar. Just to be exact (maybe you already know about this), Fasting month of Ramadhan actually starts on August 21 2009 (Ramadhan 1 1430) because in Hegira calendar, the new day starts when the Maghrib prayer time (during the dusk) has come while in the Gregorian Calendar the new day changes around 5 hours later.
