Vikings Series

About 5 years ago I've been interested in the history of vikings and what led me to this interest was a Melodic Death Metal Band from Sweden Called Amon Amarth. Amon Amarth is a band that has really unique brutal vocals. Their lyrical themes are mostly about vikings' history. At the beginning I thought it was pretty weird to have a metal band singing about Vikings. Later on, I started to realize that this band gained a lot of fans and I decided to give them a try and I never regretted it. If you aren't a METAL FAN I wouldn't recommend this at all.

Amon Amarth!!

For a long period of time I've wondered why isn't there a movie or a series about vikings and I always thought that it would great if anything like that existed. My wait has paid off and finally History Channel introduced Vikings Series on TV. Shortly this show became so popular and didn't take further than 4 episode until people started to notice it. It's so far one of the most successful shows that I've ever watched. The series shows how vikings believed that there are more lands to the west and when they sailed to the west in the very first 4 or 5 episodes. Here is a quick shot of what this wonderful show is really like. Enjoy..!

In this blogpost I want to talk about the place where I grew up. I'm an Arabian guy but my origins actually came from both India. Generations ago they Immigrated to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And thats what made me an Arabian. I lived in Jeddah City my entire life before I came to the United States. Now Jeddah City is on the west side of the country by the Red Sea. I lived by the beach and that made me get into diving, fishing, and volley ball. You might wonder what is this place really like. Well I'd be glad to show you some pictures of the city!

The Movenpick is one of the attractions in the city:

The movenpick consists of a sea food restaurant which is that huge shell on the right side. It also has houses for rent. The whole Movenpick is almost like an Island in the middle of the Red Sea.

In Jeddah city there are a lot of malls where people can shop and hangout. To be honest I'm not quite sure how many malls are there in the city but I'd say approximately 25-30 other than the small Outlets all over the city. The reason why the number of malls is too high is because people really like to shop in that part of the world and because Jeddah city is the second biggest city in the whole country. 

The Red Sea Mall Is currently one of the best malls in the city it consists of 3 floors with stairs; lower, middle and upper stairs. And this is what it really is...
