This was an interesting, yet cool Saudi eating place that we went last week. Most restaurants are not like this here, so Sohail thought he'd give me a taste of the local culture. We waited 1/2 an hour for our "room," as this was a very popular place.
Instead of being seated at a table with chairs, we were shown to our own private room-with walls, carpet and a cute little green glass door! Immediately, the kids started chasing each other around this 10x10' room. Then they reclined on the carpet and waited for what was next....which was the arrival of our tablecloth- and then food. It was 2 turkey sized platters of grilled chicken, rice and local salsa. It was a yummy and comfy night out!
Welcome family and friends and all those interested in learning more about life in the Middle East-as an expat. We invite you to join us on our mysterious journey, which began in Texas and continues to Saudi Arabia...and now one year later....back to the US! One year of life in Jeddah was enough to write a book. So many good and not so good things were experienced. We write about them here.....
