Anonymous asked: I've gone through about ten pages or so of your blog and love everything so far. Sorry if you've been asked this or something similar before (I haven't been through everything just yet) but could you tell me what life really is like for women in Saudi Arabia? I mean you here all these things in the US, where I live, but what is actually true if you don't mind sharing? Thanks a lot in advance :)

Oh my God! I love it when I get messages like this. It means so much when a person takes time out to go through my little blog.

Well… it’s strange here for women. I mean, they can go out and do whatever they want but they all have to wear an abaya. Muslim women really have to wear hijabs too but not all do. They’re not allowed to drive. When they go to restaurants they have a separate area for women and families and a different area for single men/groups of men. In all honesty, life here is pretty boring for men and women but people find things to do. You either get used to it or leave. If you have any specific questions then I’ll try my very best to answer from my knowledge.
