Hello everyone.

Welcome to my third and last blog this quarter. I hope that you enjoyed my other two posts. Today's subject about the most exciting Islamic celebration which is Eid AL-Feter also called Feast of Breaking the Fast. It is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims around the world after Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. This day Muslims can't fast. Moreover before that day we do Charity to poor people to share their happiness with us.

This Eid begin at midnight ; we prepare to pray at Sunrise. After that we united with our family and cousins to eat breakfast. 

This photo from last year's celebration in Saudi Arabia.

 This day it seems like it's a gift from God because we completed our fast. Eid day followed by 5 days vacation which we go and visit our relatives and friends who we haven't seen for along time; they serve us candies, Arabian coffee and sometimes dinner. In these six days men wear the traditional Saudi uniform which is Thob and Shomakh and women wear their best dresses. 

Last but not least the second day we have a special food we call it Madhbi ; it's meat with green onion cooked on round stone. At the fourth day my grandmother gather all my family on dinner.

That was everything ; thank you for visiting my blog and i hope you enjoyed it.






     

My trip to Fremont

Hello guys.

Today I'm going to share with you my new experience.

first thing you have to take bus number 28, 26 and 5.

It was a sunny day with nice weather. people were happy and enjoying the week end; I want you to feel how awesome was this day.

The first thing I saw was this sculpture; and I asked the people there the said it's about people waiting for interurban.

People also said that's Fremont famous of sculptures; so I searched about it and went to the Fremont  Troll.

 

The history about it that there was a construction in the Seattle bridge and the bad guys was doing drug deals here; so, the residents in the neighborhood built this sculpture and they volunteered to do it.

Next one was the J.P Patches.

   

It's about comedy show was in the past and people liked it; so, they bulit it to honor them and to thank them for bringing happiness to their hearts.

The last sculpture was The Dreamer Of World-Peace "Sri Chinmoy".

He wanted a world with no fights and war; world just about peace; and he has good poetry: Dreamer of peace come let us walk together.

Lovers of peace come let us run together.

Servers of peace come let us grow together.

Second part of the walk was Woodland Zoo Park.I learned a lot of information there; there is 300 kinds of animals. There is 4 parts: Asia, Africa, Family Farm and Bug World. 

.

And the best part was Bugs World because I enjoyed being mean ;).

Third part was the best; the Eating part.

First place was Turko Cafe . It's Turkish restaurant and the food their was extremely marvelous; the waiters were really kind and always smiling. I ordered chicken sandwich; big sandwich with a lot of spices that makes the taste more amazing than it really is. Also, I took the Turkish tea which was really tasty.

After that I went to Theo Chocolate; which is the best chocolate place in Fremont and it's very famous; I got to taste every chocolate their but I haven't bought anything but they have really awesome white chocolate ; and, they have a tour costs 10 dollars inside their factory.

The Sunday market really was awesome place; a lot of people selling their handmade things; there is restaurants also to eat. 

That's a small video of a man was playing guitar in the street; his play wasn't that good but he was funny though :D.

In conclusion  I chose this walk because I always  get interesting to go there and my friends named it to me; and to be honest i don't think you'll find something like this in Saudi Arabia; you might find an interesting neighborhood but, not with this atmosphere.  

This is the end of my walk; thanks guys for reading and I hope you visit Fremont in the future.
