Are you heading out to Russia for a nice, relaxing vacation? If you are, don’t forget to get even just one Obama nesting doll!

By getting one, you also get to help the Matyroshka industry.

Imagine that!

Residents over at the lower Manhattan and New York City in general were alarmed to see a Boeing 747 jet being tailed by two F-16 fighters flying over the high-rise buildings in the area. To see the plane flying so close to the building this morning was like déjà vu for New Yorkers.

Twitter had all the publicity that it could ever want in the past few days due to Ashton Kutcher’s race vs. CNN as to who reaches the 1 million mark of Twitter followers. And it’s not letting up yet.

Just a few hours after signing up Oprah already had about 30,000 followers. Today, Oprah has over 350,000 followers.

There’s still a huge difference to bridge but I’m sure it’s not going to take long before the gap close in as the race gets more serious. In fact, Kutcher posted a video on youtube urging his fans to support him in his race against news network CNN.

A few months ago, the first cinema in Saudi Arabia opened its doors for movie lovers.
Well, those movie lovers had to do with the Saudi movie 'Mnahi'! But it's better than not having the chance to go to the movies!
It seems there's no stopping this from coming with full force to Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi movie business has started taking baby steps with 'Mnahi' and will find the support it needs to grow and produce good Saudi movies that will find acceptance and will become part of the entertainment life in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is going to hold its first film festival in May. Impressive, no?

Now i have a bunch of questions for you,
Did you go to see 'Mnahi' where it was playing in Saudi Arabia?
Do you think that cinemas will eventually find their way into the everyday life of the Saudi youth?
Or will this idea wither and become only words in the past?
Do you want to see cinemas open in Saudi Arabia?

First I though of all TV Series characters that could possibly have a resemblance, even a slight one with Razan, none!

So the result is: Razan will be the first Doctor with her unique character and transformed body.
