Couple of new questions

Post new topic

Born2Network

I am going to be arriving (back) in Riyadh in December, and have a couple questions if anyone can answer then for me...

1.  Are there any import regulations regarding video games (Ill probably be getting a new system since the TV format is PAL and not NTSC), but in case I find a region free system, this would be handy to know :)

2.  I've read that there is a paintball park open in Riyadh now?  If so, are there any concerns with me playing there (I am currently the captain of a UWL team, and would LOVE to continue playing even though im not at my home field) 

Also, along those lines, would there be any problems with me bringing my paintball gear (marker, taken apart and transported in original box), air tank, etc (no paint will be coming with, so Im hoping they stock quality paint).

Are there any restrictions on medications?  I have an issue with my back that occasionally has me taking pain killers and muscle relaxers.

Hope someone can help :)

Hello:))

I'm not 100% sure but I can say all of what you have mentioned is fine to bring.

Here are some tips regarding traveling with paintball gear:

For the paintball gear, im going to have it shippe over once im settled in :)  I just read an article on the paintball field there, and it seems it by appointment only, so it may be a bit before im back in the game anyway.

Thanks for the info :)

No problems with any of the above mentioned and as Mr. Goblin said, keep your prescription for muscle relaxant.
