Anyone living in Al Jouf?? by truther007

I am a teacher and I only know other teachers. I want to associate with someone who isn’t a teacher so I can have some variety in my life. If you’re not a teacher, living in Al Jouf, and are looking for a new friend, then please contact me.

Salman

I did visit Al Jaouf; Found that place to be very very difficult. Read More

Is the shopping here as bad for women's attire? by Full Monty
