Hi there,

I'm male, 24, working and living in K.S.A (Dammam), with country of origin Pakistan. Anyone interested for chit-chat?


Regards.

Chit-Chat on this forum?
Say something interesting and see what happens.
Even better - say something about Abu Dhabi and Busybee2 will be all over you like a fart in a spacesuit.

Hi Jeeper

Well saying something interesting is a good idea, but I have only experienced life in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The one big issue in living in Saudia is that meeting new people and socializing with them is very difficult. That is why I started the thread by asking this question rather than saying something interesting

Anyways, how is your experience in middle east? which part you are from? and from how long you are living here? Did you like it?

It's not that..not too many BE forum expats in Damman on this board. Try the Saudi Aramco expats' site for local info and social events:

Cheers.

If you were female and 24 you would have got plenty of responses. A male, especially a Muslim, living in Saudi Arabia should hardly need to find someone to talk to. Why not try the local mosque?

Now that I am not a female, I should try whatever I feel interested in

Regarding local mosques, one thing is that mosques are not for socializing, they are for gathering in order to offer prayers, one point! The other point is that my religion isn't limiting me that I should not talk and listen to experiences/views of life of FEMALES in Saudi Arabia. Males are welcome, but so are females.

We are actually called women.

Jeeper

You are called lots of things....

shikra

Alexa, do you mean to say we can't call you females?

Sure, you can say what ever you like. I just think it's stupid.

Alexa

Indeed we are. Including "females".

Alexa

Oh dear, looks like I am "chit chatting" with a male.

Jeeper

Is there something wrong with calling females 'female'?
This some new PC thing i've not heard of....?

Alexa

naa, I just think it sounds odd.
