May 2, 2010

Hey Everyone,
Today was our last day before mid week break! The weekend after this the neighbors and us are going to Jeddah for the weekend for Tatum's birthday! We get to go to IKEA and get all kinds of fun stuff for our room!!! I read an article in the paper today about a 24 year old Indian- Canadian who has been stuck in Riyadh for three years after what was suppose to be a week long trip. Her dad took her passport and won't give it back. There is a law in Saudi that you must get permission from a male guardian to leave the country, and expats have to get permission from their sponsor. However if you are not a Saudi you can travel freely. We are considered expats meaning that we are here for work and we are not immigrants or native Saudis.
