Chapter 20:
Searching for nobody.
So yeah, shocking day yesterday, we're not even long in Saudi-Arabia, and we already know alot more about dad. Today is the day from the Arabic party, we're both looking forward to it. We're going to leave the " Zuro Dameru " case to the side and have some fun.
We look at the brochure, " Oh, shoot! It begins in 15 minutes!". We gotta hurry! Grandpa says we have a slight problem. " What is it, grandpa?". " We don't have any vehicle to go there, that's the problem ". " Silly grandpa! we could buy a taxi!". Yeah, I'm in a good mood. " I wouldn't do that here, they are very expensive.". " But taxi is the only thing here! There are not buses running on this time of the day, it's typical here, so there aren't many other options.". " It's only 2 kilometers, so we could maybe walk?". " Grandpa, no! It's the hottest day in the week! I'm not gonna walk.". " Ok, fine we'll go by taxi.".
2 minutes later, ( yes, booking a taxi for 2 minutes.)
So we arrived at the location, we see 2 big tents at the front, each has an Arabic word on the front, but grandpa can't read Arabic, there's a man by the entrance, he collects the money, it seems like he can talk English.
" Ooh, foreigners, we don't see that very often! Welcome! ". We both can see that this is gonna be fun!
" 5 dollars per person please!"
The man is hyped every second he talks.
" Ok, thank you. Y'all can go in to the left tent!."
We walk in through the left tent. There's a long table full of food. I notice something strange. In this tent, I only see men, i don't think women are allowed to come here. Pretty strange.
The same man from the entrance starts to put his food on his plate.
" Uhh, sir. Excuse me?" Says grandpa.
" Aah! The foreigners! What's up?
" Yes! Sir, is it true that this tent is full of men and the other tent full of women?"
" Yes, mister! It is. And the kids can go in to both tents."
" Uhm, why is this? Isn't this a pretty dumb rule?". Says grandpa with a bit of anger.
To be honest, I also don't understand why they do this.
" A dumb rule? Sir, are you against our religion?".
" I'm not particulary against Islam, but I just feel it's a weird rule. We are all humans, so why do we have to be seperated?".
He tells the other guys from the party what grandpa says and how he's " against the religion ".
They started looking angry.
" So you wanna fuck around??" Says one of the other guys at the party.
