It is more like you need a visa to leave this country and come back. The requirement is not from your home country I suppose. :)

I didn't break your thing. You broke it yourself. ;)

You deserve a :dumbom: for wrongly calling a wrong thing as a funny thing :P

Uh, no.  The vast majority of expats drive like Saudis and have queue discipline like Saudis.

Guest6652

You are an expat in Saudia.....if you love the Saudi People....:heart:

Trapezius

^ Really?  That's the exception, not the norm, at least from what thousands of expats have told me over the past 3 decades.  I am not saying most expats hate Saudis, but most don't love them either.

vramakr

Ur an expet if you want to run to Bahrain every weekend....errr...I guess Saudis too

Guest6652

Yes, it's so unfair for the saudi people if expats only love the saudi land and not the citizen itself....if we learn and show love to everyone....this country is really wonderful.....:heart:

I think the problem is most expats don't get to know Saudis personally.  I feel very fortunate that I have.  I won't say 'I love Saudis,' just like I won't say 'I love British' or even 'I love Americans' ... but there are certainly some Saudi's I love, some British I love and some Americans I love :)

Arbab

you are an expat in Saudi if you buy petrol cheaper then bottled drinking water.

You are a Saudi expat if you can't just pop over to the store for a emergency item without planning ahead....I HATE NOT BEING ALLOWED TO DRIVE!!!!!

No mini-mart on your compound?  One cool thing about the abaya is you can throw it on over your PJ's and run out the door :lol:

Full Monty

... you take your pullover off to go outside.

... you feel weird seeing guys doing air-kisses and exchange greetings for more than 10 seconds.

Allie I do have a mini mart, but it is expensive & doesn't always have what I need. They abaya is fine but I have to haul a 1 year old and possibly 4 year old with me each time.
