Hi to all expats in Riyadh
I have now been in Riyadh for 2 weeks and would like to hear from people about what they do as entertainment. The adjustment of living in a compund is not too bad however getting out to meet people is a challenge particularlywhen I cant drive anywhere... How do you meet people, are there any events on that I can go to? Any clues would be great
Thanks
Di

Would like to hook up with some westerners for a night out. Riyadh isn't exactly a wild town (Except for the drivers). Does a night out mean out of the country?

Ooooh Eva, that's harsh!!! Funny thing is I've never met anyone who won't swear the Scotsman/woman is the most generous in the bar and will sell the shirt off his/her back to buy the next pint.

Sounds really altruistic but I put it down to alcoholism personally.

Anyway, there (really) is a big difference between Aberdeen (copper-wire-from-a-penny and 50p-with-a-spanner jokes aside) and Aberdeenshire.

Your comments indicate more about your childhood than mine I think ....
