Yep, you guessed right ... another cours we had to go to today. This time all the rules and regulations imposed by the Royal Commission were explained.
Nice, no doubt, if it weren't the hypocracy of the whole thing. There are rules for everything ... and the necessary paperwork that comes along with it ... and all this makes you wanna believe what a wonderful world the Saudis must live in.
But the truth isn't even close : everywhere you look you'll find hundreds of tires dumped randomly in the dessert, nicely topped with thousands of plastic bags that fly around until they stick like a fly in a spider's web on the fences along the roads. The landfill we pass daily while going to work is staggering : there are millions and millions of tons of debri and waste that can easily be recycled, but there just doesn't seem anyone to care enough. Just dump it somewhere and wait for a couple of weeks for another sandstorm to cover it all up.
I'll take a few pictures in the next days, because a picture says a thousand words ... and believe me, this will be an understatement !
