Life in Saudi - Day 02

The second day 08-06-2012 turned out to be a friday. We woke up late as we were tired and went to the McDonald's in the neighborhood. We had to wait a long time as it was prayer time in the evening and they wouldn't open the singles section. A lot of other Arabians came and fought with the guy who was standing near the door as he wouldn't open it. It was very funny to see them argue. Once we got inside my vegetarian friends had a problem since everything was non veg. But, there was one guy wearing a tie who understood some English and he offered them a big mac without the non veg pieces. He was very friendly, and we had a great time there. While we were eating, one westerner turned up. He seemed pretty annoyed at the loud arabian boys, who were sitting in the next table.

Coming to TV, most of the channels are in arabic. BBC, CNN, Fox and Bloomberg are available. There is no censorship in TV.
