1) Getting really close to Saudis at the border, in a massive quest for alcohol / shopping / women (delete as appropriate) |
2) Taking off my abbaya after crossing the border – feels great! |
3) Going shopping until midnight and being able to try on anything you like (there are no fitting rooms in the Saudi shops) |
4) Having a nice – alcoholic – drink at a bar while listening to live salsa music |
5) Finding a complimentary gossip mag at the hotel! |
6) Admiring the turquoise blue colour of the sea (don’t mind the cranes; they’re just part of the picture anywhere in the Gulf!) |
7) Checking out a free art exhibition at the Financial Centre |
8) Eating at a Mexican restaurant and finding out which dishes taste close enough to the real thing |
9) Going to the movies |
10) Being reminded that cassettes do still exist! |
