I enjoyed these "snapshots"...Dear Layla,<br /><br />I enjoyed these "snapshots" from your experience. My favourite were those rings, and the picture of the sheep making their way to the Saudi dinner table. LOL, you have a great sense of humor! So, are the sheep going to the abattoir first or will they go straight to the table, ha ha.<br /><br />Dr. TaherTaher Kagalwalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488784262720510047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100788116354675609.post-77883679166692203392011-11-20T15:22:02.523+03:002011-11-20T15:22:02.523+03:00Ms Rosenstare-I don't cover my face but as I s...Ms Rosenstare-I don't cover my face but as I said on the occasions that I did do it the reaction was the same!Laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517032571160920075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100788116354675609.post-28542598713293278092011-11-20T12:50:57.749+03:002011-11-20T12:50:57.749+03:00Now I'm curious, how could the women see that ...Now I'm curious, how could the women see that you are a western woman?
