Today we visited the Armco Services Center. It is the North American base of operation for the Saudi Aramco Oil Company. It is from the United States that they recruit the best engineers, geologists, and other people to work for their company. We received an overview about the history of Aramco and where it is heading in the future from the personnel representative of the company, her name was Alma. We also received information about the history and culture of Saudi Arabia and an Arabic language lesson from an Egyptian woman named Jehane. Unfortunately the language lesson was difficult to follow and I am afraid that I did not learn much. Here are a few phrases:
Good morning: Sabah el khair
I do not speak Arabic: Ana la atakallum Al Arabiah
Please: Min Fadhlak
Thank You: Shukran
The weather today in Houston, Texas was cold. It is currently snowing! I feel like I’m still in Michigan.
