[Self] Saudi Notes 1

Enjoy them brands I found and bought!

Finally!! I have more permanent way to get Internet access, so here's a quick and dirty dump of some Saudi brands I managed to find.

Yeap, I know it ain't cool coz there's nothing about the society and weird pics of me doing weird stuff, but I've found myself in a place where taking pictures of a coffee stand is illegal, and it is mystical in the strangest conservative way ....

So rather than get myself onto Chop Chop Square less than 2 weeks being here, gotta be safe .... for now ;)


Pic: Pepper and spices ... origins of trade routes and wars.

Pic: Tea, pretty much also tied to Brits and colonialism.

Note: Now that I look back I realize I got spices and tea in my first trip to Carrefour, gosh how the ppl from ancient civilization must have yearned for it.

Pic: Aquafina Water (Pepsi Brand). Needed a lot of that when I first came over. Could not get use to the climate.

Pic: Yes, I have to get over my manly high horse, and admit that I have to use face cream and lotion. Coming from a humid place, you don't know what is a "DRY" climate until you've breathed the air and felt you skin slowly crackle dry. Unlike previous visits to dry places, I am not dropping in for a bit but rather staying for several weeks/months. Come to think of it, maybe I need some extra moisturizer and some facial scrub thinggy too. Would a night mask make sense? :D

Pic: 2 of 3 mobile operators here. My client is STC while the others are Mobily and Zain.

Pic: Mee Goreng!! :) And the nice kind, not the crap from home which is getting worse and worse with its smaller dimensions and pathetic douses of bumbu and chilli :(

Pic: Plenty of ermm ... virgins here .... BAD JOKE I cannot help it :P
