I'm bored and tired here in my place so I decided to have a day in Al Khobar for a change. I'm still on my graveyard shift so I'm quite fortunate that I can do whatever I like in the morning. And besides I need to do some shopping 'coz I'll be having my vacation soon. So I just arranged my booking going to Al Khobar. I'll take a bus from here @ 0530H and I'll take the Aramco Flight by Plane @ 1600H going back here in Tanajib. Good thing I can still sleep for 2Hours in the bus before it can reach @ Al Khobar.
Anyway lets move on. I arrived in Al Khobar @ around 0800H. I went directly to our flat to keep my personal stuff (I brought with me some of my stuffs for vacation). I meet my friends there and we went out for breakfast. After our meal we did some shopping. I need to finish everything before 1130H 'coz when "SALA" or Prayer Time will start all Malls will be close and they will open again @ 1600H, except for Fast Foods and "BAKALA" or small sari-sari stores (it really sucks, isn't it?). Most of the time, life here in Saudi Arabia starts @ night. After 1600H, most of the stores are open until 2300H or 'till midnight. So if you decided to go on shopping in the morning, you need to be fast 'coz your time will be limited. Anyway that's life, we are here working in their country, so we need to respect their culture and traditions.
