Journey to Saudi and Bahrain #2

The campus of Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University looked freshly-built and well-appointed. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Association of Language Teachers (KSAALT) held a pretty well-organized conference despite the impression I got that the people in charge were relatively few in number.


I managed to hold my workshop without much problem. The audience was pretty engaged and enthusiastic.


The evening after the conference, I was invited to the KSAALT directors' dinner and I had a pretty memorable time.



The centerpiece of the dinner was kabsa, which is pretty much the signature Saudi dish. They slaughtered the sheep just for us.

Next up: touring Bahrain.
