Hi! Looking to make friends for Jeddah weekend getaways!

Hello all you fellow expats in KSA - Jeddah!

Just moved here from TEXAS last month - actually I'm in the mountains of Ta'if - working at the SA International School on Al Hada Military Hospital Compound as head of the Lower School.

Yes, I am a little culture shocked, but ready to make friends and build relationships with other expats who are willing to take a chance on me, I promise - I'm super cool and laid back!

I am currently in Jeddah until Saturday afternoon - my travel buddy and I are doing the beach/floating mosque tomorrow mid afternoon/early evening.

I am DYING for some good seafood, so if anyone knows of a place along the Corniche - please clue me in. Doesn't need to be fancy - just clean and good.

Feel free to meet us out for a meal - would love to meet any and all in a casual setting.

What can I say?! I'm up for anything these days!!!

PS - if any knows of a good henna artist that's reasonable - I would love to have my arms done before returning to the mountains of Mars...

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give - I am a TOTAL NEWB!

Cheers!!!
Amy
