Happy 4th of July

Another weekend has passed. Finally I was able to have a break from this very conservative and strict place.

HAPPY 4th of JULY

It was a blast. Last night I went to the US Military Base here in Riyadh. Got an Invitation, hehehe!!! And I think I have the right to celebrate as well for my grandma is an American from Mary Land. So its okay! Hahahaha!!!

It was a totally different world inside. Of course I have to go through a very strict policy of getting inside the military base. I have to pass 3 post of Saudi Army to get an official ID.

That includes frisking us three times and logging our names three times. It was really scary…

When we arrived at the American post they just gave us an American guest pass and suppose to be we will pass through this body scanner thing but our friend came and picked us up from the post.

When we arrive finally I was relieved, I was back in the open world though literally we were inside the American base. J What I mean is, people there were wearing regular clothes. Women are not dressed in black and had there faces covered with black cloth. Though you will see men with big guns roaming around the place.

Military peeps in there bathing suites… women in short shorts and tank tops. Don't get me wrong that was not the purpose why I went but you can't really help yourself to look , for me I appreciated what I saw. hahahaha!!!

Wasn't able to go on swimming though because I kinda felt embarrassed of myself because all of these American peeps where humungous even the Fil-American people. Really they are big.

Women too. Hahaha!

So I felt that if I were to take my clothes of I'll be the one different. So I just enjoyed myself watching them swim, do the hoola and sun bathe. Hahaha!!

Food was great also. Thank God! There was no booze! Dance for a few minutes. Took good pictures. Made a lot of new friends.

It was a good weekend.

Happy 4th of July again. Belated at least.hehehe!
