Uhhh...is that our hotel on fire?

While our days at school produce fond memories, our night-time "mishaps," shall we say, produce more...laughable...memories.

Cases in point:

a) Before yesterday, three of our abayas were about 6 inches too long. This caused us to either constantly trip all over ourselves OR hike up our abayas way too short, resulting in scandalous leg showing. But after our pals Heba and Batul at school had the abayas hemmed yesterday, the problem is no longer!

b) Every time we walk outside, we get honked at. And this isn't just once or twice, it's pretty much a constant metronome of honks. The taxis really want our business, and they know women can't drive. But, we'd much rather walk.

c) We found the perfect restaurant last night and walked outside in delight and hunger for the delicious food. As soon as we started heading in that direction, we noticed something funny -- thick, dark smoke...oh, the restaurant was on FIRE! Talk about being foiled. We hope everyone was okay. And, we are glad it wasn't our hotel.
