10 further observations

  1. Saudi women are typically pear shaped
  2. I can't take a man, wearing a long white dress, sandals and a tea towel on his head seriously (but Gandhi seemed to pull it off)
  3. Inshallah should mean "If I can be arsed" not "God Willing"
  4. Riding a bicycle with no lights on a major road (4 lanes wide) its deemed a safe mode of transport
  5. So is riding on a moped with no helmet on the aforementioned road
  6. There are no buses in Riyadh (public transport)
  7. The muttawa are still a pain in the arse
  8. True Muslims don't have tattoos (it won't allow them to enter heaven when they die if they have them)
  9. Eid is a bit like our Christmas...they give money and present, eat nice food and party
  10. Riyadh is built on a 600m (above sea level) rocky plateau
