Things I noticed.....

There are few things here in Riyadh that amused me….

1. Fitting rooms
Kat sini all shops have no fitting rooms be it for men or ladies. So u really has to know your size before buying the clothes u like. However, most shops give a warranty of 7 days to change the clothes if it doesn’t fit. But the hassle of going back to the same shop esp. if it’s quite a distance, lecehkan!

2. Lingerie shop
There are so many lingerie shops here (that tells something abt the arabs huh!) but ALL the sales assistants are men! (actually takde sales girls pun kat sini except at Kingdom Tower where they have ladies only floor)

Its ironic coz here they are very strict about ladies n men section but when it comes to buying lingerie, undies or bras, it’s the men that serve you! These guys are not the lembut type either u know….. agaknya that’s why most of them wear the veil? With the veil, it’s much easier coz they can’t see your face and give you the look like …. “pompuan ni nampak je innocent tapi pilih lingerie sexy habih” something like that!

Fortunately like I said earlier there are no fitting rooms here... ..if there are can u imagine telling the guy “huh...can u get me a bigger size coz this one doesn’t fit quite nicely”. Erkkk!!!

3. Syiling
In Msia we are so used to korek our purse and give the exact change to the cashier that. sometimes it gets to the point of testing yr patience esp. when u are queuing at the back of that that person. The cashier will also take their own sweet time to kira the change they give to u, kalau cashier baru tu sampai 2-3 times dgn muka toya they all….

Tapi kat sini,they seldom give syiling back, instead they will give u a box of chewing gums or sweets- Wrigleys ke, chiclets ke or yg sewaktu dgn nya. Normally for a change of less than 1 riyal. Its faster no doubt and kids luv it. In some store, they dun give back your change at all! Tensen jugak!
