A quick blog to sum up my birthday. I had fun, all be it a quiet day, Adele unfortunately got called into work at the last minute and could not make it and Kellie was rostered on. But Trudy, Lebo, Marbika and I had a really great meal at Bona Banana on the Khobar Kornaish. This restaurant is worth a visit and I shall add it to the review from a few blogs ago. But essentially is has nice food and a wide variety. The numbering of the menu is creative with no page ...

Well today is my birthday. So I am having a reflective day. Later Adele, Trudy, myself and perhaps Lebo and Yathreb are going to Bona Banana for lunch and a stroll around the Souk behind Tamimi in Khobar. I have be given mixed reviews about Bona Banana, John said it was great to sit and watch the Kornaish, Trudy and Kellie went with Margaret a few days ago and watched the fireworks while being hit on the head by the screens that divide the bachelors from the fami...

Well I thought I would get to the restaurant guide to Dammam and Khobar. This will be a bit boring, but at the end of the day you never know.

This is the last day of Ramadan, so I decided to exploit the day and visit the southern end of the Kornaish at Khobar. The reason being, as it is the last day of Ramadan, nobody would be there and tonight is breaking the fast for the last time, so it will be crowded to the max. I have been meaning to go there for some time as it is a much nicer seafront than Dammam. And with Tamimi Supermarket, and Jarir Bookshop across the road there are nice places to shelter ...

Well I am coming up to the end of my Probation, the end of Ramadan, the end of my 41st year on the planet and the beginning of EID holiday. So I thought I would have a quick reflection of life here in Saudi Arabia. I am sitting in my room staring into the dark with the mass of orange lights guiding the speed freaks in the Turbo lane to a near death experience. The mosque has just rung out the last prayer for the day so we have a bit of silence for the next 8 hour...
