Men of Riyadh




My first postcrossing card from Saudi Arabia. These are men of Riyadh in ceremonial dress. She altered the card by adding a stamp of Queen Elizabeth and the sticker telling them to look more jolly. The writer is an English woman and she has lived there for 18 years! It made me imagine the old colonial times when Europeans went off to live in far off countries.
