So say you have returned back to your home country or went on living somewhere else, voluntarily or involuntarily some part of Saudi still remains with you. And, no matter how hard you try there are so many things that you get used to that are hard to leave behind.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of those things, in actuality, as said by people who have left the Kingdom:<\/p>\n

1. Saying things like ‘shu’, ‘wallah’ and ‘ya3ne’\u00a0<\/h3>\n
\n

what I miss most about saudi is saying things like “shu”, “wla esh”, “wallah”, “ya3ne” and such<\/p>\n

2. The nostalgia is real\u00a0<\/h3>\n

3. The late night shoppings<\/h3>\n

One of the things I miss about Saudi, is filling up the car tank to full for about 40 AED. Whereas, here I have to pay around 160 AED \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
