Things I See (Vol 9)

Welcome to "Things I See."  If you want to see the previous installments, you can click on:



These boys wanted to play soccer in the middle of the city, so the median seemed to work just fine.



Flour from the government.  Each neighborhood has a small building where the flour is stocked, and by showing identification, each family can come and pick theirs up.




Men playing backgammon at a local tea shop.
There is even a park specifically for retired men where they can pay a small fee, enter in, and meet each other during the day.


This looks safe.


Three wedding photography sessions going on at the same time.
(The third bride can't be seen)


Just another fun menu.


A young adult visiting our house one night said he wanted to teach my kids some survival skills, so he duct taped their wrists together to see if they could escape.

Just another normal night in the Middle East.


Attics in America = Roofs in this country
Well...maybe not ;)



The entry way for a Kindergarten.



It's hard for my kids to do online school when the entire country shuts down the internet.

This happens every year at the end of school when there are big tests, and the government tries to control the cheating.


Chips and Salsa were on the menu, so Doug and I got a little curious.  We were a little hopeful, but we knew to lower our expectations.

If you can't tell, we got a plate of Lay's potato chips, and dipping "sauces" of ketchup and garlic mayonnaise.

In case you're wondering...we didn't touch any of it.


Is it because "ham" isn't allowed in this country??



It's like "something" without the "e"

Things I See (Vol 5)

Welcome to "Things I See."  If you want to see the previous four installments, you can click on Volume 1 , Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4

A man from College Station blessed me with two gifts, and he didn't even know it.

He sent a box of goodies for our family, and he wrapped them in newspaper that had crossword puzzles from "The Eagle" newspaper.  I've already cut them out, so all I have to do is flatten them out.  

I like Crossword Puzzles.


Keira is learning how to write her letters.

You never know what combination might come up.



My girls get a lot of attention when they are dressed like ballerinas.

It's like being a politician.  People just give you a baby when they want to take a picture of you.

I was laughing so hard, I almost didn't get the picture taken.

Karis didn't know what to do.


Normal Thursday night in our city (last day of the work week).  
No seat belts.  
Kids in the driver's lap. 
Kids hanging out of windows.  
Kids cruising while standing in the sunroof.


It's very important to keep your car protected from the elements.
Why bother peeling off the plastic covering?






This is where we get our passport photos done.  
The door says, "The room of taking pictures."


Older men like to find shade in the summer and sun in the winter.
They will sit and talk for hours and hours.

Wouldn't you like to be a fly nearby?
