More pics of neighborhood

This is the women's college being built across the street. It has several buildings near completion since this photo that was taken before this summer. Here is a booth inside of Riyadh restaurant. Quiet and quaint, me and friends eat tradional Saudi chicken and rice here. Good food and very inexpensive.
The inside of Riyadh resaurant. Local food is not good if you are doing the Atkins. Lots of rice, white bread and plenty of sugar in the tea.

But a large, I mean large, plate of rice and whole chicken can be bought for 20 Saudi Riyal (that's about $5).
This type of restaurant is for men only because of the close quarters. But many places are more accommodating for families including booths with curtains for privacy, seperate family sections and entrances for families and and another section and entrance clearly marked for single men. Almost all deliver. Even the American fast food places deliver for free.
