Getting into Saudi Arabia
Leaving Bahrain heading to the boarder of Saudi on the bridge. My daughter and I had to go with my dad into the customs where my dad had to speak to the guy behind the counter. He had to explain that we were family and were just visiting for a short period of time. One should think it was fairly easy and a simple procedure but no it wasn't at all. He was friendly enough but still the only way for me to enter the country was if i was married and in the end i was "married" to my dad acording to the papers entering Saudi hahahaha The good thing about my surname is that if you take away the circle over the A in the norwegian alphabet it looks like an arabic name. Actually the capital of Jordan only with one M LOL So i was no longer a "single mum with a child" hahaha Not exactly how i planed it but to make things smooth sure as long as it was the only way for me to enter the country.
In Al-Kobhar my mum took me around the area and to the shopping mal. I must admit before going to the mall i was thinking it was a small run down place with nothing to look at especially the music stores. Oh boy how wrong could one be, the music choice was much much better here then at home so i must have spent way too much money on buying music LOL i might have looked like i was smuggeling music leaving the country hahaha
I was introduced to the best bread with cheese ever oh my it was gorgeous and probably not very good for you in the long run but who cares when it tastes so good. My daughter was 1,5 years at the time and for here it was paradise. They were very friendly thowards children and she got free samples here and there.
I had two very odd experiences there while walking with my daughter.
