Little Differences.....

I've been thinking of a few odd things that I wanted to tell you that are different here in Saudi:

-at the grocery store on the chip aisle, all the brands-Lay's, Dorito's, etc- have a "Tomato Ketchup" flavor! I haven't bought any because, well, just yuck!

-at the beauty shop, you pay BEFORE they do your hair or nails

-if you have change coming back, they hardly ever give it to you. I mean, they give you the bills, just not the coins. BUT, sometimes they'll give you a small pack of gum instead.

-at the bank, you pull a number like at the DMV (although it doesn't take any time at all) When it's your turn, your number in neon lights up above the teller. Anyway, while you wait, a little guy in a bow tie walks around with a tea set on a tray and offers you coffee or tea in tiny porcelin cups.

I'll think of more but my mind went blank. There are so many! None of them or bad or a big deal, just so very different!
