After 4 months of hanging around in Paris, I've finally arrived in the KSA. So home for the next two-three years is Jubail. Haven't really gone to Jubail Industrial City yet (we are living in old Jubail), but have already raided Dharan's Ikea (our villa is in serious need of decors!). I've been on this forum for months and thought I was prepared enough, but it's always a bit of a shock to finally be in a place you've heard/read/researched so much about.

Anyways, as soon I've settled down and figured out where to get the basic needs etc, I hope to meet some of you Jubail folks out there.

Thanks for the warm welcome, CAF! Will definitely give you a holler once I set foot in Riyadh; I would love to meet up with the forum regulars here too. Didn't realise that Riyadh was only 2 hours away by car from Jubail, so if any of you folks pass by my neck of the woods, hope to meet up with you!
