Merciful Death

             For whom haven't heard about the "Merciful death" it is a mercy killing, a compassion death. well, in the begin it sounds wrong for me cause I took it as killing someone but then I got that it means to help someone to die to stop the pains. In fact, the first thing came to my mind was a story about my friend's cousin. He passed away in a car accident last year. The point is that doctors could have helped him to live but the patient would be affected by the pharmaceutical and he might lose his sight, his hearing and the ability to speak. Actually, doctors made up to his family ; if they want him to take the pharmaceutical or not. My friend told me it was really hard to take a decision and they had only half an hour to decide if they would help him or not. Finally, his parents and doctors agreed that they shouldn't give him the pharmaceutical and they left him die. Nowadays, my friend always talks about that story, he mentions that the family can't stop thinking about him and about their decision if it was the right or not. for me, i think it's really difficult to think about it, so how if it's really happen. I hope no one of you would have that impasse.

 

A Memorable Meal

               People like to have their meals in restaurants for many reasons. They like to enjoy the time with their families and friends, enjoy tasting  food from around the world and they like to enjoy the place that they are having the meal at. In addition, I have had one meal that  I always  remember with a big smile for the those reasons. 

               One of the reasons that made that meal a special meal was being with my friends. We traveled on a vacation to AL-Damam city which is a great city located on the east side of my country Saudi Arabia. We were thinking about having a family style dinner, so we went to one 
Iraqi restaurant which was suggested to us by one of our friends from Iraq. we arrived there after a long day of shopping, so it really was the best place to be relaxed and have some talks between us.
             
                Secondly, that meal was a memorable meal because of the new taste that we had in our dinner. It was an Iraqian food which served a fish in a speichel way. They called it Masqof. In fact, it didn't seem really different in the beginning ,but  when we started to eat we realized how much it different from the way that we used to it. Actually, it have been served to us with a rice onside and the fish has been covered by the bread. Also, it comes with two kinds of sauces, so you might have it spicy or with a lemon sauce.
            
               The most important reason was, the time we have enjoyed the place. we were sitting in a private room enjoying the Iraqi music while we were eating our meals. The way of the decor was interesting as well ; we have seen a traditional Iraqi staff that we have not seen before. such as, doors, windows and the table. Even though, it was unusual thing to be in an Iraqi restaurant but we really had a great time. We really enjoyed the time we had togethers, the new taste and experiences that we had and the great feeling of being in a new place with all of the Iraqi staffs. Hopefully, I will visit this restaurant when i get back home.
