A few entries that we would like to highlight:<\/p>\n Things You Should Know Before Moving to Saudi Arabia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSaudi Arabia is both mysterious and unique in many ways. A trip to the kingdom can be both challenging and\u00a0adventurous at the same time. Getting used to a new culture, language, and country can also be the way to test ones patience. Saudi Arabia is no exception. Below is some useful information for anyone preparing to visit or move here either alone or with family.\u00a0 The work week, Prayer times, Ramadan, Value of time, women aren’t permitted to drive, etc…”<\/p>\n Every country has its list of “things you should know before moving to that country.”\u00a0 It is good to get a “head’s up,” so that your culture shock reaction to it when you get there is minimized! Trip to Taif Mountains!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAfter reading about the horror stories of Riyadh zoo<\/a>\u00a0we wanted to see how bad was Taif zoo. To our surprise it was no way close to the Riyadh zoo. Things were not how they should have been but the animals had bigger cages. The lion did look\u00a0malnourished but in much better shape than the one in Riyadh. The lion and the bear also had open areas to walk freely. But along with all the usual we also saw a few animals that really surprised us. Actually, we couldn’t stop laughing! I’ll let y’all decide for yourselves…\u201d<\/p>\n Zoos in other countries are quite the interesting experience. How VERY interesting that the zoo in Riyadh has American pets on offer. Check out the American dog and Ameircan cat exhibit pictures on this blog entry! Andrea’s Holiday Experiences Around the World!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “I have lived in several countries (Spain, the US of course,Taiwan, Kazakhstan and now Saudi Arabia) but never for more than one year. The first holiday that I ever \u201cmissed\u201d was the 4th<\/sup> of July. In Kazakhstan I celebrated this patriotic holiday at the American Embassy. It felt so American with green grass and hamburgers fresh from the grill. It was oddly entertaining and enjoyable. Yet, I knew the whole time that we were not in America, so it felt kind of strange celebrating our independance-in another country…”<\/p>\n It is important to have an open mind to participating in the celebrations and holidays in the host country, but it is also important to remember and celebrate the ones from your home country too. Celebrating your own holidays abroad can potentially bring new meaning and even more fun memories to you.
