Dear all,

My name is Balázs, I am 25 and I I have just arrived from Germany in Riyadh 3 days ago. In total, I am going to stay for 6 months in KSA but I will be fly back to Germany approximately once/twice per month for business purposes. For my stay here, I am located at the Marriott hotel which makes it a little more difficult to meet people living in compounds. Through this forum, I am hoping to get informed about some expat meetings or alike.
I am also very interested in socializing with local people, get to know the culture and their way of life but it appears to be quite difficult, as I have read on this forum... So lets see what is going to happen ;-)

Best wishes,
Balázs

Hi, how do you pronounce your name?  And it doesn't seem like a German name, is it Eastern European?

Well observed ;-)

It is a hungarian name, pronounced 'bolash'.

Aha, like Hungarian goulash!  :D

Not many Eastern Europeans in this country, but there are some Romanians and Greeks, probably only a handful of Hungarians.  Quite a few Brits, Americans, and Western Europeans.  Good like finding friends!
