Canadian at Large Saudi Arabia

Hi everyone ! In a short time , I've already enjoyed great insight here on expat, and felt the least I could do is explain my context in case it helps others.
I've been in-country nearly 5 years following nearly 4 in nearby Dubai.
I live on a very large oil company compound very near the Bairain border. We neighbour Dammam and Khobar.
I've been involved with both the men's and the kids ice hockey since I arrived as well as in Dubai previously.
I've considered my time here as 'celebrity rehab', as it's been some serious clean living 
.
My darkest vice these days is very strong coffee at dawn. As you can imagine, the region and the people have grown on me immensely over the years and I anticipate a much bigger reverse culture shock whenever I leave than when I arrived.
Please don't hesitate to ping me if you have further questions. I have a couple of years of Riyadh experience as a visiting project consultant as well.
Neil
