Eric et Lydia au Moyen Orient. Carnet de voyage d'une petite famille française partie s'installer au Moyen Orient. Arabie Saoudite - Bahreïn - Dubaï. Jeudi 9 juillet 2015. BONS BAISERS DU GOLFE. On trouve aussi la même façon de se saluer chez les inuits ou les néo- zélandais par exemple. Voici une vidéo très courte,. Faite par nos voisins qataris, emprunte d'un certain humour qui vous explique bien comment ça marche, tout une codification. C'est comme nous avec les bises sur la joue, 2 , 3 ou 4?

Eric et Lydia au Moyen Orient. Carnet de voyage d'une petite famille française partie s'installer au Moyen Orient. Arabie Saoudite - Bahreïn - Dubaï. Dimanche 31 mai 2015. On voit de tout à l'école, du défilé de mode des mamans au défilé des belles voitures ou encore le concours du plus beau gâteau ramené en classe, mais là je crois qu'on atteint des sommets inégalés! Je tiens à préciser que normalement on a pas le droit de se garer là, nous simples mortels haha. Publié par Eric et Lydia. Le soleil toute...

Une vieille stupa en brique.

Gulf encounters: August 2012
http://gulfencounters.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
My experience as a French expat in Saudi Arabia. Monday, August 27, 2012. Let's enjoy the Indian summer. I've been back from my holidays for over 10 days now, it's about time I got back to writing. Truth is, I've been putting it off because I didn't know where to start. And I still don't! So I'll just recap the summer as I remember it:. Paris from the Eiffel Tower. Paris - Notre Dame. And before I knew it (although I had a 36-hour trip to realize), I was back in good ol' Al-Jubail! For instance I couldn'...

Gulf encounters: October 2013
http://gulfencounters.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
My experience as a French expat in Saudi Arabia. Monday, October 28, 2013. The Lion King - live! Please forgive my ignorance. my only African reference thus far was Disney's The Lion King. And a great reference indeed! I found the South African land just as I had expected! Thorny bush and dry savanna. A kudu (until a week ago, I had thought that was a cheap, tasteless fast-food chain from KSA. Look at the baby elephant, it was only a couple of days old and still struggled to walk. And their darker side!

My experience as a French expat in Saudi Arabia. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. I already mentioned how much I like being offered Arabic coffee in Saudi houses. Arabic qahwa step by step:. Very lightly toasted coffee, cardamom, saffron. 1 Grind all ingredients. 2 Boil about one litre water with two tablespoons ground coffee. 3 Put one teaspoon ground cardamom and one pinch of saffron in the coffee pot. 4 Pour the hot coffee into the coffee pot, onto the spices. I'll invite you for one! Posted by Regia en exilio.

Gulf encounters: July 2014
http://gulfencounters.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
My experience as a French expat in Saudi Arabia. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. We don't need anything but tacos and amigos. And we hadn't had our dosis in two years! It was about time we went to Mexico, and what we did was mainly being with friends, and eating tacos for two weeks! Barbacoa tacos for breakfast. And that, kids, is how you eat a taco. Delicious lunch at El Granero. Coconut ice-cream in El Porvenir, Tampico. Playing like kids in a Lego corner in Liverpool department store. Ferris wheel in Monterrey.

Gulf encounters: October 2012
http://gulfencounters.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
My experience as a French expat in Saudi Arabia. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Crazy pretty adorable women. It's so difficult to talk about our life in KSA once out of KSA. Starting with describing the kind of friends we have there, they are just so different from the ones we have back home! So I thought I'd make a list of the kind of people you're bound to encounter as an expat in KSA:. Usually from a rich gastronomic culture (Italy, Latin America, . France! The young mum who's just dropped her job. The t...

Gulf encounters: March 2013
http://gulfencounters.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
My experience as a French expat in Saudi Arabia. Monday, March 25, 2013. Getting to know our neighbours. You know how nowadays people may bump into their neighbours every once in a while but never actually get to know them? We decided we had to get to know ours a little better, so we crossed over to their garden, to see if we could find them outside enjoying the sunny afternoon, and indeed that's just what they were doing! Posted by Regia en exilio. Sunday, March 10, 2013. Will not let you down! I went b...

Gulf encounters: Seeking a bird's eye view (Oman 2/7)
http://gulfencounters.blogspot.com/2011/03/seeking-birds-eye-view-oman-27.html
My experience as a French expat in Saudi Arabia. Monday, March 28, 2011. Seeking a bird's eye view (Oman 2/7). Shocking news to start the day with. Bahla souq: the cattle is chained to this tree to be auctioned. It is said that people thought that the tree was inhabited by a jinn (spirit) and were afraid the jinn would fly off with the cattle; therefore they decided to tie down the tree with chains. Old mud walls in Bahla. Girl hiding behind a carved door. Jabrin Castle (built 1675). Sunrise around 6 am.
