It did not surprise me that many Saudis have taken the chance of the first ever holiday of the national day to go abroad, and use the long weekend to do something fun, or useful, instead of just staying in the country, and watch the boys who decided to celebrate the day individually on the streets.
On Friday night, I was out with my friends to have some drinks form the nearby Dr. Cafe, and there were many cars, covered with the green flag, and filled with young men dancing and chanting. It was nice, but I'm sure some people were not happy when they got stuck in the traffic lights because of these happy guys.
Badria Al-Besher thinks that Saudis go to Bahrain and Dubai on such occasions because, in these places, Saudi families are allowed to walk altogether in markets, parks, and streets, without facing the embarrassments and restrictions they face in their own country. In our cities, fathers can't enter the park with their own kids, and mothers can't take their sons who are taller than 120cm to the zoo. # »
