Shani and Lipton Ice Tea

For lunch i went to the dining hall with the parents. The food isn't that great most of the time but for some reason we keep going there. Probably because everyone goes there...i had some crazy curry and rice. For drinks, i had to have my favorites...Shani and Lipton Peach Ice Tea. i would prefer vimto over shani, but i never see vimto being sold anywhere so i'm stuck with second best shani.
After lunch it was time to catch the bus to RT for our big movie shoot. Okay it wasn't that big...and its not even a movie, more like a documentary. Channel 2 wanted to make a video interviewing Americans that live in Saudi Arabia. They wanted to the ex pats to share how great their experience was and get more people aware that Saudis aren't crazy and want to blow up Americans. Of course this whole ordeal took forever, we had trouble getting the camera crew into the compound, mostly because one of the guys didn't bring any identification...bastard.

They arrived around 4pm and were suppose to be there at 2:30. It seemed like they were never going to leave and they wanted to interview each one of us separately...it got really late and i did not end up getting interviewed...bummer. So i wasted one of my few days in Saudi just sitting around watching camera men and sound guys do their thing.
