Dear all Canadian in Riyadh.
My name is Anas, i have been here for 2 months now and in need for some good company.
i have tried to find a community for Canadians for a while but did not find one.
after a long useless search, I decided to try to create one.
so what i'm trying to say that i'm trying to get as many Canadians as possible together to have a community of our own.
if any one is interested please let me know because i have no idea how to do this kinda thing here.

Woooo Canucks unite!

Tim Hortons! Poutine!

I've only been here a month, but it won't hurt to know more Canadians in KSA/Riyadh!

I know another Canadian, but she's on vacation until late March.

my parents lived close to Square one too, copernicus Dr

maybe we went to the same schools or smth.

i also spent a year in St.Catharines

i had friends from North York too ( but i have no idea where though).

are you coming to Riyadh any time so, maybe you can join us..

Arabian Nile

okay then guys thursday it is......
when and where???

erich214

I'll be touring the Riyadh Gallery mall in the afternoon-evening time (around 4PM-ish). First time visiting that mall and going on company chartered bus. (Me being cheap on taxi, hah)
So, how about somewhere there?

Arabian Nile

that will be great....but i do not know where that mall is though..
can you give me directions or smth.
i could even pick you up if you need to (i have a car smile.png )

erich214

Thanks for the offer man, but I live pretty far out in exit 8. You'd be making two trips!

You can use this to Google Map: Riyadh Gallery, King Fahd, Riyadh 12262, Saudi Arabia.

It's on the corner of King Fahad Rd. and Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz Branch Rd.

Arabian Nile

thanx, i got the directions..
so we will meet around 4.
looking forward to it .

are you still in ??

youngthegiant

Will I be allowed into the mall as a single guy?

Arabian Nile

i think so..
if not...we would not be allowed too...lol

Arabian Nile

actually i checked their website, and it doesn't say that singles are banned. it only has a poll on if they should ban singles at night...
either way we are okay i guess.

youngthegiant

I'll try to come but I might not be done with work by then. I'll let you know

youngthegiant

Looks like I won't be able to make it tonight. Sorry guys! Hopefully next time

Riyadh Gallery mall is reserved for families on Thursdays and Fridays. However, I strongly doubt they'll consider stopping westeners from entering.
