So how do we get home, Christine? my companions ask. I say...take the southbound bypass and get on Thakasoukki Street. Christine, they say, how do you know your way around Riyadh so well? Well...I say...a few years ago I worked with a girl named Patti who was ex-army. She said to always scan your sector. I took that to heart. Whenever we go anywhere I am talking with my friends but I am also looking out the window, learning street names, learning directions, finding landmarks and seeing which stores are available, Christine, where is the UPS store. Me: It's on King Khaled road on the way to the Kingdom Center. I studied a map of Riyadh and found the routes to places I generally go as well as learned the street names. I believe people have an easier time getting around if they orient themselves...and are less likely to get into trouble. Yes sir! Scan your sector! Thanks Patti!!!
