Newbie here. I've been living here in Riyadh for a year now and I just wanted to add spice to my life here. As you know, life here is kinda boring. Ahehehe Hope to meet new friends here at expat-blog.

Welcome to e-b!! This place (and any other place for that matter) is what you make of it. I constantly read comments here on the blog about people being bored ... well - I said it once ... my grandmother used to tell us kids when we complained about being bored .. she would say ... you kids are bored because you all are BORING!! Now go outside and play.

So following my grandmother's advise - go outside and play!!!

Welcome to EB! check out the two towers, any of the jarir bookstores, plan a trip to the eastern province by train and visit Tahlia street.
@Houstonian, your grandma was a smart woman!
