wind in a bag
SO I'm back ..
The funny thing is I could have stayed a week more in prague..
thinking that this saturday my college starts,
trying to control my bohemian personality and take the mature decision
I descided to come back instead of accepting a free stay at my uncles house and attend the madonna concert.
...the hilarious part was discovering that college starts next saturday ...
meaning it was simply a stupid decesion not to have stayed the extra week...
welcomed with jeddah's tradmark ( welcomed by the sweaty air the moment you step out of the plane)
and Jeddah's wonderful news of the new committie of moralaities ( lajnat el adab)
which annoyingly is just for jeddah which will apply some weired rules like putting back barcades in resturants, women are
not allowed to go to resturants alone,no shisha ....etc....alot of stupidity that I was glad to leave long ago in riyadh,
" giving back ethichs to jeddah people"
( talk about going a couple of hundred steps back and some regional racism)
AS I heard this news my mind drifted to the cafe in prague ...where I was sitting in the old town surrounded by
culture and art,sipping my latte, smoking my cigar and reading my book.
doing some doodles and sketches inspired by the breath taking surrounding
wondering how far are we here from this sort of life....
Is this the solution, give " them " what theny want, leave the counrty and go to europe.
even though I do have this option I chose not to...still trying to figure out why....
fainting from the news and heat I wish I packed an extra bag .....some lovely wind from prague
wind in a bag....despite the over wieght

Welcome back.
Don't be amazed not astonished, Jeddah and the whole country is nothing but surprises, i mean how many nations can actually say "We don't have theaters"? and how many nations can actually say "Women cant drive, its illegal"
however Jeddah has its own "Aroma" its own "Charm". Jeddah to me is like "Women" we cant live with them and we cant live without them... in Jeddah's case "Cant live in it and we cant live out of it"
to me Jeddah is the place where i was born, where i had all the funny experiences and all the sorrow, where i met my one true love and where i lost that one true love, and although i was the happiest when i went away and lived in the states and decided never to come back, somehow i found myself back here in Jeddah lol i know so ironic....
Jeddah is a symbol for confusion and complexity, simply it is a perfect combination that represents "LIFE" so welcome to LIFE Clareeish
Welcome back, hope u had a good time there...
Well Jeddah even though it is filled with so many things that get under our skin, its addictive! Like Cairo, u leave it cursing never to return, but still yearn for it after a while...
I would never yearn for Cairo!!! Anyways, welcome back! U obviously enjoyed Prague, so god bless for that :)
wish i came!! Japaaaaan next year!!
well -OT- , some people do like Cairo.. and I happen to be one of them ;-)
Hello Clareeish!
How are you doing?
You know next summer I would like to visit this wonderful city Prague. Do you have some pictures of it?
Can you tell something about weather in Prague? Is there hot in summer or cold? What kind of people there? Or in general have you liked it?
So I would be very happy to if you answer to me.
