Bon Jour,
This morning everyone went to the pool but me. I had work to do... They got home at about 1:30 (a little earlier than usual)because my mom had to go to the hair dresser...She had quite the experience! Her hair turned out great! In Saudi Arabia Philippinos and Bangladeshis and other people from poverty stricken countries are sometimes treated unfairly because they don't have money - especially the women. They have drivers who drive them to and from work , when the driver gets them home in the evening he locks them in the house. The Philippinas that work at the hair saloon (they do call them saloons instead of salons) get one day off a month and during that one day they get to shop for two hours. And this is the only time they get for shopping all month! Of course Saudis would never treat Americans or Europeans like this! While my mom was at the "saloon" there was a group of Saudi women preparing for an engagement party... Their hair was done up like Marie Antoinnette! ... Saudi women don't wear light makeup like Americans or Europeans, they wear every color in the rainbow and thick, thick, thick! That's all for today please don't hesitate to ask any questions and be sure to become a follower!
