Im sure every expats feels the same here. Any opinion, sports or any other alternatives to here here in Riyadh just to get over boredom.

As a start there is a bowling event this weekend at Intercontinental.

goddess_annie86

Im not really ggod in bowling. But interested to learn. How much is the fee?

slyshooter

Well it will be a good place to meet a lot of other expats.

It is 25 per game and if you take 2 games, the third one is free.

goddess_annie86

Is it a Friday or Saturday??? One of my other concern is, is that event a mix of man and woman??? I totally dont have any issue with that since I came from a free country, but Im referring about the safety if its mix.

You don't need a sponsor for those events--just be prepared to pay big ticket prices.

time.chime

AllieCat ! i am not sure what she mean by sponsor... do you mean u dont have your IQAMA?

I guess you need an identity proof to enter.

ya tickets are 400-450 SR. (bit expensive)

I think she meant a 'connection,' somebody to get her name on a list.  But for an event like this,  having ID and the money is enough lol

time.chime

You are right AlieCat....
i was planning to go to the US Embassy event but i guess i wont be back in Saudi by that time. that one is end of october.

suribhai

@Alliecat and Time.Chime, May be she need someone to sponsor her for those events. I guess so.
@annie, why dont you clarify things clearly, ppl guessing a lot hehehe

@suribhai, what do you mean by 'sponsor'?  If you mean somebody to get her on a list, I already replied to that:  for these functions, all you need is MONEY (and as time.chime added, adequate ID) to get in.  Got it?

timothy80

It is organized by usera???

time.chime

the event on 25th Oct.. is by USERA, and you can get the tickets from USERA gift shop at US Embassy. you need to provide clear copy of passport, the ticket cost Sr. 300-350.
the Annual Gala dinner at British Embassy residence garden is on 7th Nov. The ticket will be sold after 5th October till November 2nd. for the tickets you need to check the women skill bureau. I forgot the ticket outlet details. :) I guess it is at Kingdom coffee morning. Ticket cost is Sr. 400

Hi everyone.... Sorry for the 48 years reply. Yeah Alli is right. Im referring some connection inside the embassy to put my name in the guest list down. Thats the usual thing we did those times that we went there for steak night. But now I dont know anyone in there since my friend left for good. And haven't tried any big paid gathering like that so not really sure with the procedure

suribhai

@Alliecat, hehe i mean sometimes people look for sponsors who can pay for their entry. I guess you got me wrong. Anyways problem is solved, she explaind what she meant by Sponsor. Have a good day.

I understand, but one usually doesn't advertise on a blog for a BF to 'sponsor' one's self!

No war.  I knew what she meant all along--*you're* the one who didn't get it! :D
