Saturday banking
We had the day off today. No special reason, just one if those days that we scarred around the callender to give people a break. It was great. It meant that I could go to the bank, exchange money, pay in a cheque and send money back to England all in less than 45 minutes. Normally it would be ambitious to expect to achieve so many jobs in anything less than two days in Saudi Arabia. For a start the banks close at 4 pm and we don’t get out of work until 3.30, so strictly speaking going to the bank isn’t very practical at all.
