Though I have a few posts from 2011, I’m essentially pretty new to this sort of writing, but just felt very compelled to explore the differences between the two cultures.

I look forward to seeing more of your work. Actually, I really want to do pieces on the differences in fashion and clothing lines, so if you would ever be interested in guest-blogging, just drop me a line.

I can relate. Besides Saddam looked quite sinister, at least when I was young. Which reminds me I remember having one of those paddle games where theres a bouncy ball attached by string to a paddle with Saddam’s face on it.

ps. Glad to be a reader of your blog. I’m kinda a person stuck between cultures, but I really like reading your expat experience in the USA.

I lived in a town called Grimsby – about a hundred miles north of Saham Toney. I distinctly remember, as a nine-year-old, having nightmares that Saddam was going to bomb my little town, which of course seems silly now.

I look forward to reading more about childhood in Saudia Arabia. I went to summer camp with a brother and sister in Germany who lived for some time in Saudia Arabia. I wish I could remember their names, maybe I can dig out an old photo. x
