Shooting Video Footage in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Personal Events

Bienvenido todo mundo, greetings everyone. For those of you who are returning to my blog, thank you for coming back. For those who are new, welcome. I know, I’ve been away for a bit. For that, I truly apologize. I’ve had some personal things happening in my life, but everything is pretty much back to normal. I mean, that is what happens in life. Right? We are all faced with life issues, but it doesn’t mean that it stops us altogether. It may slow us down a bit; however, we should always find a way to persevere.  Getting back to my story, it hasn’t stopped me from doing what I enjoy in the long term. At present, I am posting YouTube videos on my channel on my recent trip to the states. As a matter of fact, I just posted a video of me visiting a wonderful café in Hamtramck, Michigan. Nevertheless, my trip to the states with some details about each place I visited and ate at will be discussed in later blogs.

Shooting Footage for the First Time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

We will back it up a bit and talk about two places in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with some vegan-friendly options to enjoy. The first location is Urth Caffe. Actually, Urth Caffe is the first restaurant I blogged about when I first started back in August of 2018. Back then, I never thought I would be vlogging and posting on YouTube. Then again, like most things, my desire to share with all of you changed. My desired changed only because many who read my blogs suggested that I start vlogging. I must admit, at first, I was extremely hesitant. I didn’t know anything about shooting a video, editing, movies, or even what equipment I needed. Then, after doing some research, I decided to give it a try. So, this is where I am at today. Back to Urth Caffe, I don’t really what to write too much about it because you may have already read my blog in the past. So, I will simply link the video below for all to watch, and hopefully, enjoy.

Almost Forget, Vegan Ice Cream

One matter I neglected to mention above is that the video I shot also includes a brand new location. This location is called Giovanni L. Royale, which offers five (5) varieties of vegan ice cream. This is the first location I know of, at least, that officially offers vegan ice cream on its menu. If you haven’t viewed the video as of yet, please do so. You will see me tasting each and every one of them. They are all delicious. I, of course, love the chocolate flavored ice cream. I think strawberry might be my second favorite with vanilla as a close third. At any rate, for those of you who live in the Riyadh area, it would be worth wild to visit their location. The best thing about this is that Giovanni L. Royale just opened up a branch at the hospital where I am employed. Talk about being fortunate. I can now have their wonderful vegan ice cream whenever I want. Then again, that could be dangerous for me, LOL. Look at the chocolate down below, but don’t eat the wafer, it’s not vegan.

Don’t eat the wafer, it is not vegan.

Vlogging in Order, Really? 

The next video subject I shot footage at was Circle Café. As I go through my past blog list, I am only realizing now that this restaurant was the second eatery I blogged about in Riyadh. I don’t know how that happened, but it just did. Once again, since I was asked to vlog about these locations, I just happened to vlog in the same order as I wrote about them in the past. Well, I hope that doesn’t take away for the content I produced. For more detailed on this eatery and experience, please refer to the link below. I do, however, have several questions for you. First, which do you enjoy more, my blog or vlogs on YouTube? Second, what would you suggest I do differently on both my blogs and vlogs. Third, what do you think about my content and editing on my website and YouTube Channel? Remember, I am still very new to both, but your input would mean a lot to me.

Thank You All for The Support

Well, I think that is about it for today. Please don’t forget to leave a comment. Also, I will be bringing you blogs about my recent trip to Michigan in the upcoming weeks. I hope you remember that all I am trying to do with my social media outlets is to bring you along my journey through life as a novice vegan. Together, we will learn and grow. Thank you all for reading and supporting my efforts.
