I left Saudi Arabia in 1997 and I haven't been back since. Before coming to Canada, I lived in KSA for about 16 years! I am going next month with my parents and wife for Umrah. Though I haven't missed KSA much since I left, this is going to be an interesting and possibly nostalgic trip. I was planning on taking my shorts (that are, I must add, below knee length), but my parents and wife quickly reminded me that I won't be able to, not in KSA at least. Despite having lived there for so long, I had forgotten such important but minor details, and I tried remembering if I had ever worn shorts during those 16 years. I realized that I probably had when I was little, but not after I was even 8 or 9.
Anyways, here is an interesting blog I found: http://saudiwoman.wordpress.com/. In her own words, she is:
My name is Eman Al Nafjan and I’m a mother of three or at least I try to
be. I also have a full time job as an English lecturer at a health sciences
university in Riyadh. So many non Arabs and non Saudis out there giving “expert”
opinions on life and culture here, hence my blog. Get it straight from the
source: Saudi, genetically wahabi and a woman.
