Average ESL KSA Attire by bgstoddard

I'm sure I will get a wide variety of comments here. I am about to send off my visa package and need to do a little clothing shopping before I come to KSA next month. I have a contract with AETG, so as a male I don't know if I will be teaching kids, ...

good-quality cooking chocolate? by foodwriter

Does anyone know where I can get some Callebaut chocolate (or equivalent) for cooking? I haven't seen any really good-quality stuff in the hypermarkets. Thanks
