Part Time Work from Home Opportunity... by kamiii
Before the mods decide to move this to the classified, let me clarify I am tying to initiate an interactive session to help ppl find online part time jobs, rather than actually offering a job here. I have been contacted by people before as well, ...
This sounds pretty interesting actually. Count me in. Also, can I get a +1? :P Sully Read More
Riyadh events 2010 by Alisan
Hi everyone, I thought that it's a good idea to start a thread about the events taking place in Riyadh, so all the Riyadh expat community are invited to share upcoming events, & preferably by providing all details. The event that is taking place ...
I must applaud Alisan, you're really doing a great job piling on the event yet you are one of the newer expats in the country. Bravo! Read More

Lateral Thinking! by musicman
Question: Three switches outside a windowless room are connected to three light bulbs inside the room. How can you determine which switch is connected to which bulb if you are allowed to enter the room only once?
He was playing Monopoly lol Hehe no googling here, nor brilliance. Just experience, I like riddles very much and I have come across a great deal. How about you give it a shot and try this one: A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, ... Read More
Lateral Thinking! by musicman
Question: Three switches outside a windowless room are connected to three light bulbs inside the room. How can you determine which switch is connected to which bulb if you are allowed to enter the room only once?
Turn on the first switch, leave it for a minute, and then turn it off again. Then turn on the second switch and enter the room. The first switch will be connected to the warm light bulb, the second switch will be connected to the light bulb that's ... Read More
Expat Club Saudi Arabia! "interested? c`mon in!" by Salman Omrani
Howdy everbody! I've been thinking, and I bet so were many others, that we should stop talking about how to make friends and just get on with making them.:cheers: so I've got this great idea of starting a social network (in real life) so we can ...
Did you say that the Music Festival is tomorrow, Musicman? I just might grab a few lads and go over there. Is it a "bring your own instruments" shindig? Read More
What Book Are You Reading? by Alliecat
I've just finished 'The Things They Carried' by Tim O'Brian. It's a very intense depiction of a man's memories of Vietbnam. Excellent book. I highly recommend it. Almost impossible to put down. Sudden idea: maybe we could arrange a 'book ...
I thought I would stumble into a Danielle Steele discussion, thankfully most of you are more sensible than that. I say most, respectfully :P Dean Koontz is one of my favorites, another favorite is Charles Bukowski. Then you have the cult-classics ... Read More
Please Read: Teaching You English by Alliecat
At least twice a week, I get emails from our Saudi members on this forum (usually male) asking me to help them with their English. I want you to consider this: teaching English is my job. It's something I am paid to do. I know you aren't ...
You could make a lot of money from private tutoring. If the majority of the requests you are getting are from males, well then narrow the criteria down and ask for married males with the supervision of their wives holding a nice big wooden dough ... Read More
Voodoo ! by Alliecat
Wow, I just found out yesterday that many Saudi's believe in voodoo! They were surprisingly dismissive of ghosts, however, which surprised me. They tried to explain to me about 'genies' but I didn't quite understand what they were saying. A genie ...
Musicman, Allie That was a pretty accurate description of the "Jinn". They are mentioned in other religions as well. Succubus and Incubus? Same thing. Perhaps you two should sit down and enjoy the company of some of those people who have been ... Read More
Expats advice on recreation in Riyadh. by NumbScully
Hello everyone. I recently moved back to Saudi after a 6 year stint abroad and it's been 4 months since I came back and I am utterly bored and surprised at the changes. When I was younger and lived here, I never had this issue mainly because I was ...
Thanks for hijacking my post guys lol The curfew IS ridiculous, it's affecting a lot of business and I've seen many places close their doors because of it. They aren't racking in as much profit because they have to close their doors early. A lot of ... Read More
Are expats in KSA often kinda weird? by Alliecat
I have noticed a trend--among western expats, anyway! I'm trying to decide if they were weird when they came here or if they got weird after being here for a while. Opinions? Theories?
Who's to say that being weird is necessarily a bad thing? Read More
'Dirty Little Secret' ... by Alliecat
Okay, the subject line was just to get your attention lol My idea for a new topic: let's all 'confess' to something about ourselves that nobody would have guessed! Since it's my idea, I'll go first. What nobody would guess about me? I just love ...
Ok,I guess I'm up. I might enjoy cooking and baking a bit too much. Which is very unusual for a Saudi :P Next. Read More
Opinions on the 'Friend' lists? by Alliecat
What do the rest of you think about others just 'adding' you as a friend without having made any contact? I am shocked (!) to sometimes see myself as people's (always men) friend when I've never even spoken to them and have no idea who they even ...
Let there be drums....Is that an AC/DC quote, good sir? Read More
Wall Decor? by Alliecat
Now that I've gotten out of the 'roommate from hell' situation and have my own place, I'm investing a few bucks to fix it up! I have bought kitchenware, throw pillows, etc. but I need some wall art at a reasonable price. I could go with the Saudi ...
LOL @ Burhan that was a very devious post. Read More

Yeah, it's a real shame Allie. I know this is completely off topic but if you have a fast and stable internet connection you can always watch American cable programming for free and in real time on certain websites such as Jumptv.com, it would be ... Read More
