Bits n Pieces
These are a collection of photos that sum up Saudi - they are collected from various friends in Saudi.

What can I say!!!
Common expression used here in Saudi Arabia - you just deal with whatever comes your way and say Mafi Mushkila this is Saudi Arabia....
Censors at it again....
Bad day at the hairdressers...
Often seen in the middle of a platter of camel - you may also see the hump in the middle as they love to eat the fat from the hump!!!!
Makes you want to turn vegetarian!!!
Barbie Arab Style
Common sight here in Saudi - the men holding hands
All time Saudi favourite - the Shawarma - all for the small cost of between $0.90 - $1.50 AUD - they are soooo good.

Little Pigs Make Us Happy
As we live in a "Pork Free" country we have to resort to "sneaking" it back.
And this is what we managed to successfully "sneak" back in - anyone would think we loved pig!!!
So Nick now has a freezer full of Sausages, ham and Bacon!!!
Our Trip to London
Nick and I went to London for 6 days to visit his family. It was my first time in the UK so I was quite excited to see all the touristy things!!!! I loved London - the buildings are old and amazing and there is so much history. But I could not live there - its too cold for me. But we were very lucky we had temperatures of between 24-27 most days.
