YOU KNOW YOU’VE LIVED IN SAUDI WHEN...

1) You find it normal to see men dancing in slow motion with swords in their hands
2) You see men kissing each other on the nose in greeting
3) You’re checking out what the latest designer Abaya/Burka trend is
4) You’ve paid more for water than you have for petrol
5) You know you’ve had a Tazo collection before!
6) You never know your address and have to give out directions based on landmarks instead
7) You start saying Bebsi instead of Pepsi
8) You start addressing people (men and women alike) as Habibi
9) You start saying ‘our wife’ when you’re actually referring to the other person’s wife.
10) You plan out your shopping based on prayer time
11) You check if you have your Iqama before you walk out the door
12) You get up and get ready to go to work on a Sunday
13) You look around hoping no one sees you eating lunch in your car when it’s Ramadan
14) You have developed a 6th sense for Mutawas (paranoid religious police armed with canes!!)
15) You automatically start looking for your abaya before heading out the door
