Dammam is a soul-less industrial city. Khobar is posher. |

Bayouni coffee in Al-Khobar.
Like walking into a sixities time warp.
Cash register is a big wooden drawer and shop workers that look like extras in a Bogart movie...
Beautiful smelling coffee too.

He is using "1960's" to signify "quaint" or "prehistoric" or "olde-worlde". These whipersnappers will NEVER understand what it was REALLY like !
(Oh God I have turned into an old bore just like my father before me !) |
