More Training Junx

On my last day in Saudi, my dad and the family were invited to a some Training thing. i was hung over and sleep deprived and i had to show up to this thing at 8:30am. Speaker after speaker kept talking, and then there was an awards ceremony...i felt like i was at a North Penn Graduation, i thought it was never ending.

Luckily whoever organized this thing took in account that people would get very bored, so they had one speaker that does toast master contests. He wasn't ridiculously funny but it was nice to have something that i could stay away too. There were also two breaks that lasted about 10-20 minutes. Gave me sometime in the 90 degree sun to get my body temperature up because i was freezing in the room. i also got to sit in some fancy seats, i felt like royalty.

Lunch finally went down at about noon. i was excited for some old school arabic dishes. Boy was i in for a treat. The main dish was lamb kabsa which was pretty good. My mom makes it better but i was satisfied with this particular dish. The other kabsa dish was fish, that was really good. There were also a bunch of kebabs and deserts that i haven't seen for years.


The morning was pretty painful, but was made up for with the delicous lunch. My dad and i even got to enter the room before everyone else and sit at the VIP table with all the general managers. Pretty bad ass i know.
