Expat Club Saudi Arabia! "interested? c`mon in!"

Salman Omrani · 2009-09-30T11:00:58+02:00

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 meet-up, have fun activities or share life experiences and even discuss business and politics in a safe and friendly atmosphere, I'll call it the "Expat Club" for now, once we start getting members we can actully make it official and decide what who and how. for starters, lets set-up a casual get together in Riyadh city (since I'm living here :P) on a weekend and findout if people are serious in meeting new faces and making new friends.. we can think-up some outdoor activites for later on, such as desert trips or tours inside as well as outside of riyadh, we might (depending on the members) organize visits or monthly meetings (or quarterly even "every three months) in others cities like Jeddah or Dammam. it's just an idea and its just the begining, it depends on you to make it happen. here goes nothing :P , I'm setting a weekend thursday 15th October as a first meeting date, your welcome to suggest a better date for valid reasons. so what are you people waiting for? lets hear what you got to say! :D Salman Omrani NOTE: This was an initiative made at a certain time and a certain City, this thread is to bring you all together and make your plans likewise so check the latest posts in this thread and find or fix meetings in your own area. all the best - Salman

Hey Guys,

Firstly, I do not know if I am too early for this, but I would surely love to take a plunge. My name is Pramod and I am from Hyderabad, India. I would be moving to Riyadh in a month's time (probably end of June). Would love to meet you guys & Gals. I am a fun loving guy into riding motor bikes cross country and various sports. Looking forward to a fruitful stay there.

Wish me luck people:P

Cheers
Pramod

hi Salman

It's good idea Salman. We can start gathering in Oct. We can discuss all aspects. So, any body later he or she can suggest any new subjects.

Hi Salman
i am ready, but your next weekend it came or not yet ?

i am waiting for your sign

Hi Salman,

What can I say!!
You did not miss anything as no one bothered replying.

I dont know what is wrong with people, they all say that they are up for doing something but when it comes down to it there is no response.
I will leave it to others to organise things and hopefully they will have better luck than me.

Well, since I've been here for the last 3 years, pretty much alone without any friends or even casual friends, I think this would be an AWESOME idea. I'm totally down to meet some real human being who don't wear white dresses. Please let me know if you come up with a meeting. Thanks Salman
