Hi I would like to know if there is anyone in Jeddah from Plymouth, Devon in England?

Hi Shaun,

I am currently living in Jeddah with my wife and I'm from Plymouth... I was born in St. Budeaux to be precise, but live in Ford/Stoke village when I return there.

If you want any information please feel free to contact me.

Hi Reginald, I am currently living Sharbatley Village.  I am also from Plymouth.  I have been here almost two weeks now and settling in.  I am a teacher at Jeddah Knowledge International School.

Shaun,

You are in the Sharbatly compound.....our bus passes that place every day on the way to and from work.

My wife and I live in an apartment in Al Nuzha district in the north of Jeddah near Al Jawad Al Abyiad (White horse roundabout), which is walking distance to Arab Mall. 

I work for NIT at Bahrah about 40 kms outside of Jeddah on the Makkah road.

This is our second year here in Jeddah.

That's great to hear, you'll have to pop down one evening your not working.  It would be great to meet you and catch up on good old Plymouth!  Some time.

Shaun,

Apologies for the late reply.

Yes it would be good to meet and discuss Plymouth sometime. I'll pm you with my mobile number.

Interestingly, only one of my students here both old and new has actually even heard of the place. He even knew the colors that Argyle play in, which is even more incredible.
