Lessons Learned

Rebecca's Point of View: We have been here a week now and these are a few things I find interesting.
1. We have 3 garbage cans outside. Food scraps, recycle, and garbage. The garbage can is the smallest. Garbage is picked up everyday.
2. Saudi Arabia likes street lights. The entire freeway has lighs about every 20 feet and so does our community. Star gazing is hard to do.
3. Have you ever stuck your arm into a hot oven? That is what it feels like at 2:00 everday around here.
4. The grocery store delivers.
5. We have great medical insurance.
6. The red sea is too warm in the summer.  It is also VERY salty.
7. The sports club is free.
8. All the people I have met from Saudi are nice.
9. All traffic tickets are linked to your bank account. They withdraw the money if you get a ticket. You cannot fight this. All of Saudi have this rule. There are video cameras at most intersections.We are thinking we don't need a car.
10. So far, things are great.
