Since our arrival in Saudi Arabia, I quickly began noticing all of the new things around us. Like a newborn baby, I've been taking in my new environment and have actually made some of it into a bit of a game for me and the kids.
First off, I noticed an extreme preference in the vehicles here... No sooner than we left the airport I began seeing these cute, little, white, trucks with a flame-like pinstripe along the sides. So needless to say my curiosity kicked in and I had to know the type of vehicle this country is so fond of. I think of it this way, each country has its own flag, bird, flower, nickname..... Why not a designated vehicle :o)

What you are looking at is the Toyota Hilux. While out of the house you can spot one of these very trucks at any given time. The best part is... THEY ARE ALL THE SAME COLOR!
A "loaded" vehicle in the States means all of the cool gadgets and gizmos you can add to make it even more spiffy. As you can see the loaded Hilux here in Saudi Arabia has an entirely different meaning :o)
Anyone can see that Hilux has been here for quite some time... I dare say every generation of Hilux ever made is present in this country. And YES, each year of this truck are still the classic white and bright pinstripes. Hmmm, I think I almost want a Hilux for my very own!
FATEN FACIAL TISSUE- My face is fluffy enough so NO thank you!
These paper towels should be just FINE (heehee)
What kind of foil do you want? Well, I think this aluminum foil should be OKAY (BAHAHA)
Took a turn down the toy isle and this is what we are greeted by, YIKES!
This is the first phone I had while being out here. It is a Samsung, a name we all know and trust. This particular phone came complete with a picture of Mecca, the holy city here in Saudi Arabia.
Next, we move on to my grocery store observations... Something tells me there will be a part 2 to this post!
Who made this? Well, YAMAMA did!
(HAAAAA! I crack myself up!)
Finally, I feel that I must include my observation that I quite enjoyed while strolling through the hospital. This is an announcement for Dr. FATEN Obeidat- Dietician. Now that is pure awesomeness :o)
Stay tuned for more of my unique observations. Thanks for reading, my friends!
