There are some discoveries while living here in Saudi Arabia:
- Chicken and shawarma might be the favorite food by the common people. I almost eat chicken every meal of the day!
- people here are quite obese but not obvious because of their long clothes! Yes I am not alone hahahaha!
- people here are so very very religious and admire them for that! Every corner literally has mosque and they pray five times a day..wow that is incredible!
- people here are quite healthy..they do not drink but they smoke hahahaah!
- stores here are in block section; every street has its block merchandise that is if one street is purely perfume then almost all of the stretch are selling perfumes.
- temperatures are extreme here - in december to february are cold months and the rest are extremely hot as in so hot!
- female here are really in their native dress ( you cannot see their face except in some other areas and mostly are pinays that show their face)
- there are so many malls here - but not that good malls - not much stores inside
- football is their sports here - basketball? not quite popular
- speed limit is somehow not recognize here - be careful to cross a street because the speeding vehicle will not stop at all!
- there is a national ID system here called Iqama and it is the key to all of our lives and transactions here - buying, selling, etc - almost everything needs a copy of Iqama and its number that served as your legitimacy of staying here.
- well that's all for now and maybe I will update this if I found something new that existed here and not everywhere!
