So, I finally moved to Saudi Arabia and am reunited with J. A lot of things here are much different from what I expected. I have been here for almost three weeks now and have pretty much fully settled in.
To start, it is HOT. Today, being not one of the extremely hot days, is around 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Thankfully, we have central air conditioning with six units just for our house! My day usually begins with me waking up and realizing J has overslept and is late for work. I hurriedly wake him up and also get ready myself. Then I head outside just a few feet from our door where our compound bus waits. This bus takes all of the women from the compounds out daily. There is a set schedule, and each day is a different place. For example, Saturday's are Dhahran Mall. It runs five days a week, and seeing as how we live in such a small compound, everyone knows each other, and so we usually go shopping together.
I will write more later.......... :D
Peace,
Amna
