Research horse racing and become a professional online gambler!

Read the Guinness Book of Records and see how many you can break in a year.

Have an affair

Have you tried joining the Hash House Harriers? How about scuba diving in Jeddah? Painting? That's about all I can think of.

Can certainly empathise with you. It's hard enough being here as a working man and I get to escape back to Bahrain each weekend. Agree with Saudiflares that the best way to stop boredom would be to get a job. However you could host dinner parties for all your new found friends on here! All that cooking would keep you busy!

Drifting championship at Reem. This Thursday coming and then two weeks after is the last of the session. Search "Saudi Drift" on FB and you'll find them there.

If you're bored in Riyadh, have you considered taxidermy? You don't literally have to carry it out, but I'm sure you will come into contact with suitable subjects ( on two feet...) to entertain yourself!

I would have opted for the sex-lines, you get an income and you don't have to wash your face after.
