Today we went to a movie and dinner with girls from class. One of the girls offered us a ride home to the dorm. She happens to be a part of the royal family. We accepted. Hilarious/awesome experience.
She lives close to RUW, and offered to show us the compound she lives on and her house. Her house was huge, and the compound was gated. Her grandparents, aunts, and uncles live in houses in this gated place, with a courtyard in the middle of them. Her house is decorated with her mother's original artwork. Oh, and with pictures of former and present kings and dignitaries...that are in her immediate family. Including one that was also a feature picture in LIFE magazine. They have their own mosque.
The car conversation was the hilarious part. We learned that has her own clothing line. She pointed to a billboard for Viva, the big telephone company here, and said "That girl on the billboard! She was my model, but Viva stole her from me!" Like, the telephone company bought out her model, and she has to find a new one. For the fashion line she started as a freshman in college. At one point she was complaining about people tailgating her on the interstate, and she said "It's like when people follow you around the mall. Don't you hate that?"...and we all immediately/mindlessly agreed that having people follow you around is terrible, and we really do hate it. What? In case this needs to be clarified, this has never happened to any of us. But, like, if it did, I'm sure it would be really annoying.
