  • Photoblog: A friday walk

    DSC_0008friday

    Having a full day off once a week would not be meaningful without seeing our family friends. Unfortunately,there’s not much free choices, hence mostly if not all  restaurants are closed early in the morning.

    We usually walk along  Jeddah corniche and ended in a public park to have picnic breakfast. Our favourite park was once green but not anymore. Not only  the walls and post are painted with drawing and writings that I don’t understand the meaning, garbage can also be found at every corner, which is a regular sight in  other Jeddah parks and streets.

    Jeddah streets are actually full of beautiful arts, statues done by famous artist, public parks and children’s playground, sad to say, all are not maintained well and people don’t pay attention to proper waste disposal.

    Who wants to be surrounded by garbage anyway?

    NO ONE!

  • Photo blog: celebrating Eid al adha

    As an expatriates for 26th years in Jeddah, KSA , we always look forward for the most awaited holiday of the year – Eid Al adha (after ramadan) and Eid al Fitir (after hajj).

    While the rich and famous opted to go outside the Kingdom for holiday, we the expatriates stayed and spend a day or two in either private beach or public beach. Along the corniche you will find families and friends in sea-side picnic. This is also the day of “sweets” people buys cakes, sweets and chocolates, restaurants and caffè are also fully booked!
