Ha'il is not bad. Bigger than I imagined. When I visited there was one shopping mall and a couple of supermarkets. Dry and dusty.

Personally, my mantra always was "Taif is Nice".

I ran the idea of Khamis Mushayat by my wife, but she straight up threatened me with divorce, so I never was able to find out! Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

I think Mr Nut, the five-star general of insanity, meant the 11 souls from Assir region who participated in the 9/11 attacks?

They are known as flower men, and they are so violent even the police are scared of them.

The men wear kilts similar to the Scottish kilts (what a coincidence! Laughing ) - The only difference between the two is the curved knife!
I wonder if there is any historical link between the two kilts?

I guess Thomas Rawlinson got his idea of the Scottish kilt from the Asiri tribe of the Magic Kingdom in 1720? Smile
