I cant see Jeddah because I was very tired.
... breakfast at the beach, so we stopped at a small restaurant that specializes in Indian omlette parathas and picked up a sack taking along our own carafes of hot chai. The beaches in Saudi are generally quite dirty with trash, although they were better this year than they have been in the past. There were quite a few people -- families -- there even though it was about 6 am. And I actually did get to drive in Saudi, as there were a couple of guys ...
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia filfilfilfilksqArrived at last on UK don't care if its freezing cold, if its snowing, if there are gales, even 5ft of snow I don't care.......I'm just happy that I am safe...didn't really want to say how much I was frightened the last few days and didn't want people to worry but the tears of relief when that plane took off I have never felt before ...

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia gill_prior... But another good thing came out of yesterday, I was talking to the girl I was out with and she said why don't I apply for a job in a school out here as a Teaching Assistant. Wages are about £500/£550 a week, you get a furnished villa in a compound, you get help with return airfares, you get 10 days off at Easter, 10 at Christmas, 7 at Eid and nearly 3 months in the summer and you get paid for those as, also you are off Thursday and Friday and every evening. So that would mean I ...

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia gill_prior... lol) and of course my all time favorite for the flavor of old Yemen, Souk Al Yeman, and Souk al Yumama - for gold... Had some terrific meals, and met with many friends, and can only note that the ongoing urban development, the quality of the new construction and the concerted effort at creating a solid IT infrastructure for all residents of Jeddah is commendable. The new buildings are the dream of great architects, a must see.
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia salamatik... on the seat, I couldn't even speak... all I knew was, I juz didn't want to talk anymore... so what I did, I juz watched a movie.... It was Fantastic 4, an action and fantasy movie, right?? But I didn't know, I started to cry... My life here was hard before. I got culture shock. We're obliged to wear abayas and tarja to cover ears and hair every time we go out. Hiding and too afraid from Motawas (religious man that can put you in jail). You're not allowed even juz making ...
