Except for the little crescent moon topped minaret and the loud speaker flanking it, I would have never realized this little unassuming building was the entrance to a small neighborhood mosque.
You mentioned that some people switch their days and nights, does that include schools, the grocery, malls, physicians, etc., or is it limited to people with control over their schedules?
During Ramadan, restaurants are all closed during the day and open for iftar - the meal at sundown. Many businesses, malls, and grocery stores are either closed in the mornings and open after the noon prayer, or are closed all day until late afternoon. Most businesses stay open until 2 or 3 am. Schools might be closed for the whole month of Ramadan or have shortened hours. Doctor's offices have much later hours than normal, as well as hospital visiting hours.

That is unexpected.
