A Kingdom's Inner and Secret Parts

Mr Secretary,

Regards from No.117 - SAUDI ARABIA !

Really an unusual place, but I am having a good time here.
It took me a week until consuming finally an alcoholic beverage
yesterday evening - not a requirement, I guess, for a country
in which alcohol is strictly prohibited, but desirable nevertheless:
delicious home-brewed beer! Brewing stuff is a typical pastime
here for expats, as it appears, but only within the very inner
and secret parts of the compounds where foreigners live...

All the best, a bientot,

Mr v/d Z
