Even after 5 weeks now, I'm still marveled at anything written in Arabic.  Many of my documents come written either completely or partially in Arabic: my registration into the Saudi Engineering Council, my driver's license and my work visa.  The blog title is actually my name!! Arabic is also written from right to left so that throws you off as well when trying to translate.  I'm taking pictures of stop signs, granola boxes, license plates - it's just fascinating.  The license plates have the numbers in both styles so that made it easy to learn.  I find the numbers very confusing compared to "regular" numbers:  what looks like a seven is a six, what looks like a backwards three is a four, what looks like a nugget is a five, the zero looks like a dash, the seven is a V and the eight is an upside down V!  At least the number one and nine are kinda similar to ours.  Plus, I don't know why they made the two and three so similar looking. (kinda like our O and Q.)  Here are the numerals and their pronunciations:
