RIYADH NEWCOMER NEEDS HELP!!

Saq-81 · 2010-08-24T04:38:40+02:00

Hello everyone. I am a 28 year old single male teacher in Manchester, England. I am starting work in Riyadh in a few weeks and quite scared and excited about it. Accommodation is one of the big worries for me as i wont have much time to find somewhere to live. Living quarters are not including with the job, but i do have an allowance which doesnt seem like it will cover a place in an expat compound. My work is located in the Al Izdihar (sorry for the spelling!) region. Does anyone want to be friends? :D Saqib

Thats not an issue, you sure will get here, all in good time. Just a matter of "WHEN"?

Remember, one of the simple ground rules in the desert is "everything can wait"...

I believe here is a Hookah discussion going on in this forum where some of the smoking guns have expressed their puffy views. I am sure they would love to host you guys for your opening Shisha Night sans the belly dancing, of course, unless we get some volunteers from within.....?

There you are, one birds on the wing, all you gotta do is hope for some puddy tats to join in.... and walaa you will have your Hookah Nite.

Maybe Dave could grill some of his famous BBQ's? And also bring in his neighbor for some laughs?

Better idea: grill his neighbor.
