Jimin's Birthday minus 4 - 2019 celebrations

BTS were on their Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour in October 2019. During the concert on the 11th October the Members organised a surprise for Jimin singing Happy Birthday to him in Arabic. Jimin was visibly shocked and then delighted skipping around the stage with a massive smile on his face.

The next morning he did a live to thank ARMY for their birthday wishes before he got on the plane back to Korea. He talked about how watching Jungkook enjoy the concert had helped him relax and enjoy it himself.

This is also the Vlive when he talks about his vacation in Paris and coming back in time for Jungkook's birthday before heading off again to Hawaii the following morning. He also talked about going to Russia in the same vacation period. He certainly made the most of the extended break in 2019.

Most of his birthday was probably spent on the plane back to South Korea. The members again posted birthday greetings. Jungkook posted the following pictures with the text, "Happy Birthday Jiminie hyung! And I’m sorry. HappyBday Jimin. I’m Really Sorry. Sorry. Sorry Once Again. There’s really nothing cool about these, I’m Sorry. It looks like you’re still sleeping, I’m sorry. You understand right I’m sorry. You are me I am you. So sorry."

Finally some other photos released to mark his birthday that year.

10 Amazing Places To Visit In Saudi Arabia

[dknuth]

Saudi Arabia

I'm doing an AIA Archeological Tour of Saudi Arabia. I must admit that Saudi was not high on my travel list, but the chance to see it as part of a group with the Archeological Institute was impossible to pass up. Especially since Saudi has only in recent years started allowing tourists.

This post is a few days late, but our days have been busy and we are frequently late enough getting back to the hotel room that I haven't been inclined to prepare a post. We spend a lot of time on the bus every day, so I have been writing text offline to put into posts, so I hope to catch up. Also, many of the hotels have had slow or irregular wifi, and photos weren't uploading.

I left Madison on the afternoon of January 8 on a bus to O'Hare Airport, where I caught an 8:30 Turkish Air flight to Istanbul, arriving on the afternoon of the 9th. Then another late flight to Riyadh arriving at 1:30 the morning of the 10th. By the time we got to the hotel in downtown and in our rooms it was 3:30, and I was beat. But I was up and going again by 9.

It was a free day for us, so a few of us took Ubers to the National Museum.

The museum is new, large, and well-designed. We skipped the astronomical, geological, and dinosaur exhibits to focus on the human history in the area.

Our Trip Leader, Barbara Porter had provided us with an extensive reading list prior to the trip and I bought several of the recommended books. The main thing I came away with from my readings was the realization that my image of Saudi Arabia as a backwater, end of the earth desert prior to the discovery of oil couldn't have been more wrong. From the earliest times it has been tied by both overland and sea trade to Egypt, the Mediterranian, the fertile cresent civilizations and India.

We saw paleolithic and neolithic artifacts and interesting petroglyphic rock art, the development of pottery through the ages and the rise of local civilizations as well as the interactions with the surrounding ones.

The Nabateans I had become familiar with in Petra last year were a substantial presence here too, as this was the source of the frankincense and myrrh that was their core business.

The final part was the history of Islam and also informative to those u of us less knowledgeable than we should be.

In the afternoon I visited a small museum close by the hotel with a collection of beautiful artifacts, especially handwritten manuscripts.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning we went back to the National Museum as a group, which was very helpful as Barbara could add more context to a number of the exhibits. I found a tiny cylinder seal fascinating. It was carved from very hard stone and is smaller than the diameter of a pencil but carved with many figures on it. The image on the seal can be seen rolled out on the wax to the right. I don’t understand how someone could carve that with primitive tools and no magnification.

On the way to lunch we drove past the new financial district. There is an area about the size of the Chicago Loop being developed with high rise buildings for financial companies to have offices. The king is requiring all financial companies working in Saudi to have substantial offices here. There is a monorail system connecting the towers, and a train connecting the district to the rest of the city. I understand the next step will be a requirement to have some senior management located here too.

Lunch was at a recreational village built for the purpose. It uses traditional architecture and is full of high end shops and restaurants. We were there in the early afternoon, and it was not very crowded, but we were told it’s very popular after hours.

It was adjacent to Diriyyah, the early town where the First Saudi Kingdom was launched in 1744. The modern tourist center extended to the ruins of the old town, which has become a museum. So it was an interesting conjunction of modern and old.

They had large family trees of the Saud royal family. They have huge families!

In the evening we went to the Al Masmak fort, another critical location for the founding of the Saudi Kingdom.

We finished at the local street market. It was pretty small and had an arrangement of old junk. My Dad would have loved it.

I found Riyadh an interesting city. It’s almost totally modern. In 1950 the population was 100,000 now its 8,00,000. So everything has been built in the last 70 years and most of it in the last 30. But the whole city has been built for automobiles. As a result the streets a clogged with cars and traffic is terrible. In the summer it’s too hot to walk around town, so there are few sidewalks. There is a subway system under construction, but it’s several years late, of course.
