Celebrating a Wedding

Celebrating weddings in Saudi Arabia differs from many countries in the world.

These are samples for palaces which we always celebrate in. It really cost people to rent for one night. It cost about $ 40,000 to $ 70,000 .

Inside a place, this is men section.

And here is women section because in our tradition women celebrate separately

Celebrating starts at 9:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. mostly

guests come to palace at this time greeting a groom and then sitting

 

After that they're having dance we called it "a'arda "

My Seattle

Seattle is a such great place to study and to live. It has beautiful places to visit and to hang out with friends.

I live in South of Seattle with a host family who consists of four members. They are very respectful and generous.

Talking with my host family is one of most important things that I do in Seattle to help my English.

 I really like to visit with my friends and to visit and experience new places because Seattle has many wonderful attractions like the Museum of Flight.

I also like to drink a cup of coffee at Starbucks
