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

Hi Salman,

Im a new member here. Please tel me if this is still alive.

Tks,
Waleed

thats great...so i didnt miss the bus

Hi I am currently back in London but am returning to Riyadh, I had no idea about this otherwise I would have got all my expat friends together and we would have come with bells on, and trust me there are a lot of us. A mix of Brits, Americans, Canadians, Australians.....  And seeing we are all single females, we never get to go anywhere anyway!!!

I wasn’t a member of this site so I didn’t know.

Will keep an eye open and will promise to come with friends whenever it is sorted.

Take care.

fab idea!!!

hey persian, u sure u will be back to riyadh??

let others take the action, but i dont know where can a group of girls and boys can go here unless they are a family or this is taken place in a compound...i too am eagerly to see the response...

it will be wonderful if this takes place actually

I am on holiday at the moment in my home town, but am contracted for Saudi for the next 2 years at least, so trust me man I will be back. have been in the kingdom now for almost 4 years

There are many places were expats get together and it is not in the gross way, but is organised by other more mature expats who have been in the kingdom forever and a day!!! of course, I or my friends would never put  ourselves into that sort of a situation, so please dont take it the wrong way!!!!

So where are you from?

i am from India but in Riyadh since 7 months now i guess

ok well I hope you enjoy saudi... it is different, but you will manage as many other expats are including myself. It is not amazing and but it is ok for work.

ya...its kinda easy money...thats all i figured out yet...hope to enjoy here as well...maybe i can find some like minded people here in this forum

I am sure you will. and just think of the money!!! lol
thats the only thing that keeps most of us expats going!!

ya thats wat i was least interested in back home, even here
my first priority has always been freedom and enjoy life...which is a complete NO here

Hi Ppl,

Have just joined this forum.

I from Manchester UK, been in KSA for 3 months

if there is a meet, I will be interested

Thanks

sorry salman, i have a valid excuse....i m in jeddah and i have told that before....

[large][large]It seems that I am very late joining such discussion and I felt no harm texting you a message and to know whether your experience was successful so far or not. If yes, feel free to contact me joining the group and exchange culture and create activities in here. I will be very glad to hear shortly from you even if your idea didn't step ahead.

All the best I remain,

Your brother,

Yosuf[/large][/large]

Yosuf, you need to put your text between the brackets, like this:

You know, we have other Saudi members in this forum but they don't claim expat status so I was curious why you did.

Some people might disagree about 'locals' in an expat forum, but I think you bring valuable information and insight. 

Speaking for myself, thanks for joining us

saraand - this specific forum has alot of IT people that maybe you can tell about what you do.

sorry to hear a NO SHOW Salman - i would have gone with Shahab if the date noted was a little later - one more week left before I leave to Riyadh
