        I had a wonderful time in Jerusalem, so I am happy to say that this next trip to Saudi Arabia was definitely worth it! This next celebration, Eid al Fitr  included many events presented including comedy, heritage, and folklore programs. There were also other amusing and entertaining events were done too. This festival celebrates the the end of a fast after the fasting month of Ramadan. Everyone was dressed in new clothes and were eating traditional sweet dishes including Jalebi and Caramel Custard. 
        During the celebration, I met a man named Aalee. Aalee works in the oil industry. Oil is more than 95% of Saudi Arabia's exports and 70% of government revenue. Aalee doesn't pay much income tax, but doesn't make much money from the monarchical government either. 
        Later I had to say my goodbyes or مرحبا to Aalee and his family and headed to my final destination in Asia: China.
