Fellow expat-bloggers in Eastern Province  :)

Let us organize a gathering where we can meet, chill and get to know each other, especially since the last gathering was done about 2 years back and many new faces are around already!!

Tentative Schedule:
Time/Date: 8.30pm, Saturday 15th Feb 2014 (Changed from 8th Feb)
Venue: Either: Chillies @ Dahran Mall, or Ciro's Pomodoro Khobar Corniche (both have ample space to take at least 10 persons)

What are you waiting for? RSVP right away :D

Everyone is always complaining that they are alone and bored in the kingdom and that they would want to meet other expats but now that a plan is actually materializing nobody is interested!

Let me know if you need help with directions :)

3dnan

ops, double post!!

desertlifestyle

sound like FIFI  and all other families and ladies are out from this group ... we attended both the previous  meetings this time sound like no families so its hard to brings family with us ,,, am i right?

3dnan

Actually, there is a gentleman who want to bring his wife as well but he is hesitant, if he know there is family then for sure he will bring his wife!!

Hi: Thanks for providing the directions 3dnan. I was able to locate it using the iPhone default app, but 'm downloading google maps app now. Seems the map program on the iPhone is not giving me the route to get there, even though i have both start and end point clearly located through the very app. In any case, I'm familiar enough with Khobar that I shouldn't have trouble finding it. If any of you is coming from Ras Tanoura, feel free to catch a lift. -robert

3dnan

If any one gets lost in the Khobar Corniche, just look for Uptown cafe, This place is on the same building but on the second floor!!

See you all tonight :-D

3dnan
