Tim Here-
This past weekend was pretty laid back. We went in for a half day's work on Thursday, and then had the whole day to ourselves on Friday. We watched a lot of movies and caught up on sleep. Originally we were supposed to go on a desert safari trip, but due to the high winds, the trip was cancelled and we ended up going to the mall instead.
The mall was an experience in itself. In Saudi Arabia, the mall is a popular place and because of that, it is a very controlled environment. As we were approaching the front entrance of the mall, there were three of four patrolmen outside inspecting everyone's attire. All girls must be covered head to toe in their aballah. We were stopped and rejected at the front door because a few of us were wearing shorts. We went back to our apartment to change and we were able to get into the mall. Here are some pictures that we took while inside.
