I was excited for the June 21 decision of lifting the lockdown. We can go out freely all the time. At the same time, I am still worried about the spreading of the covid19 virus so we are bound to obey the precautions and follow the rules. The same procedures during the lockdown period but the difference is that we could go out any time. Social distancing, wearing ask and gloves, and no party at home or public places. 5 people could not stay together in public and private places. The car could not have more than five capacity.

When I decided to buy some stuff for myself, I preferred going out at night. The enormous temperature of these days is so extremely higher with humidity at a higher rate. It's not good going outside during daylight. Even the night is called to be better but it is still too hot and wearing face mask could make someone shorten their breath. In those cases, maybe the people may die not because of coronavirus but being exhausted in breathing. I loved how the people responded to the law of the government.

Who so ever breaks the law means a huge penalty of 1000 to 10,000 Saudi Riyals. Note: (3.75 SR/1 USD) Could you imagine that huge amount? There are a lot of positive people here mostly in the mainland and big cities but we saw that figure because they provided mass swab testing for free. The medications are free even the undocumented people. Mortality is lesser than those other countries as well.

Time to be free

I enjoyed window shopping! Looking up the malls and the people with their cars around.

I noticed the Sale posted above them.

25% to 70% sale looks so much better. As far as I knew, there is a 15% value-added tax.**

**My first stop was here in Rina but I didn't like their commodities.

Here I found the discounted stuff. The sale is really implemented and they have good quality dresses and all.

I don't know what they meant to say about final Sale

I appreciated the appropriate filing of the display.

Trying on the City Maxx Sale

Leaving the TWENTY4 area and try the next door. I didn't like what I saw in the other place but I took selfies only.

I can't smile, I was covered.

It was already two hours and a half staying in that place. I need to go home but the driver didn't come quickly. I got mad but I could not walk so long for 6 minutes by car. It's so far from home. People were already going home and some stalls were closed. I sat down on the bench and wait, no option!

People and cars stopped in front of me, hmmm! I didn't need a free ride. I don't wanna take my first riding a car from anyone I don't know.

There are no words enough to describe the feeling of being free. But the question is? Do I have real freedom? No, I'm not. I could be free when I will be home shopping with family soon.

This is just a story for dswigle@dswigle #marketfriday whom I didn't have any entry for how many months due to the covid19 pandemic.

Thank you and more market next week!

It's me,
