It's really strange how it's all the little things that really start to add up when you're in a foreign country. The big cities here are really similar to Canada (except for the heat oh my God it's so brutal sometimes) but it's the stuff like fast food and junk food that drives me crazy. I have to take a picture of the convenience store in the ( Read more... )

I thought people over here would hate it, but actually they really love Iron Man. It's super popular. I've seen little kids (boys AND girls) dressing up in the costume and playing. Though with the Farsi and Arabic accents, Stark becomes "Esstar'kuh". It's really funny.

I will post more pictureeeees. Next time I'm in Vancouver we have to hang out some more, ok? :>

I want some Saudi candies! And post more pictures. I'm serious. Especially pics of camels. (Speaking of which, have you ridden a camel yet? Or at least got to pet one? Cuz camels are awesome.)

I am so jealous. I'd love to live in Saudi Arabia, but I don't do that well in the heat. I don't really know how you can stand it. :|

Sure! Mail me your address. I have like five packages ready to go (they must have thought I was insane buying all that junk food) but the shipping is so cheap I don't even give a fuck.

No, I haven't ridden any camels, but I have seen them walkin' around near the edge of the city. They are HUGE in real life, and I'm a big coward face, but I'm honestly a little scared of heights and I don't want to get up that high. Also they are grumpy.

If you ever have the means you can totes crash on my couch, girl. :>
