First day with Charlotte in the Kingdom

Charlotte arrived on time Thursday night and made it through baggage claim and customs in 30 minutes. Charlotte wanted to go early shopping the next day at IKEA and Saco World the home goods store. She ended up sleeping until noon. Then we toured the camp and got food at the main commissary. At 2:00 pm we left for our early shopping trip. At 2:15 we arrive at the mall/shopping complex and everything is closed. After some google research, nothing opens until 3:30 to 4 pm. On Friday, IKEA is open from 3:30pm until midnight. We went into the mall and walked around the inside looking at the closed stores to kill the time until IKEA opened. We went into a shop selling abayas that looked to be open, but were kicked out. After a few hours in IKEA we went to Saco World. We ended up buying a couch, desk, dining table, TV stand, microwave and an air fryer. I have been here two months and have bought next to nothing. Charlotte is here one day and furnishes the house.

Furniture delivery from the store is going to be in 10 days. Salesman tells us he has a guy that can deliver the furniture in 2-3 hours for less money. I agree. Salesman says to go pay for furniture and ask for pick up, then meet him in the outdoor furniture section to give him the pick up receipt.

I give the salesman the receipt and he writes down on a piece of paper a phone number and the name Moktar.
We leave Saco at 6pm. I’m starting to worry Moktar is going to pick up my furniture and just keep it. At 10pm I have not heard from Moktar. I call him and he speaks little or no English. All I get out of the conversation is he is close. At 11pm Moktar calls and wants directions. I don’t really know where I live. He doesn’t understand English. Finally I text him my location on google maps. Below is the picture of us moving into the neighborhood with an 11:30pm furniture delivery. And while Moktar’s helper is carrying in one of the couch sections he hits the outside light glass cover causing it to fall to the ground and shatter.
