Riyadh Hello

Riyadh Hello
Firstly, before moving to Riyadh (about a year ago now), I used this forum for some much needed information and advice. A big thank you to all you British Expat Forum guys who supplied this.
Now, having finally settled down to life in Kingdom, I thought I might be able to repay the good advice with some (not so good) advice of my own. The first year was hectic with much to take in and learn, but I have now adopted the jaundiced, blase attitude of many of the Riyadh Expats and feel perfectly at home. Having done a little work in Dubai and Bahrain I now regard myself as a seasoned Expat veteran ready to comment and give out ill-informed advice on anything I don't understand. Which is a lot.
More rubbish coming soon...
