    hai saraswathi,

    i think that's your real name. i'm here in Jubail since august 2005. these two years were a hectic period of lifetime for us in saudi. now it's better.

    how do u find riyadh/saudi? hope to find your family friend here in jubail soon.

    Re: Any one from Saudi Arabia?

    Hi Uma,
    Thank for ur quick reply.
    Yes, my name is saraswathi.

    I m getting used to life here in Riyadh. Was aware of restrictions here for us before coming. And moreover, I was in kuwait for a year...so sort of used to social life in the gulf.

    where is ur native place?

    How do u while away ur time? I somehow keep myself engaged. Will give u the contact details of my family friend in ur place soon thru PM.

    by the way, I like ur username "Kuttimayil"

    bye

    hi saraswathi

    actually, I was watching jodi no.1 vijay tv programme. so I was online and could reply u immdtly.

    I couldn't get username in my original name. that's why i chose this from another website (suttutten).thanks.

    the restrictions are ok. the climate change and the dust were not suitable for us. until now my kids r getting cough and running nose very often. i was affected initially too much and I think now i became resistant to those.

    we came from chennai and my hubby's native is trichy pandamangalam.

    here, we r living in an apartment which has more than 100 flats. here lifestyle is so different. getting used to it slowly.

    uma.

    hai NJ
    sorry for very late reply actually i use to have so much fun with friends ............. shopping everything. here life is very expensive if u buy 3 or 4 thing bill is 100 dollars. most ppl say there u cannot go alone. here u can go out still ur alone koi baat karne ke liye hai hi nai. may be coz i can go to india every year when we in saudi. our compay use to pay charges. may be my answer is not satisfying but still i love that place sorry for late reply.

    Re: Any one from Saudi Arabia?

    Hi Simrah,

    You are very correct. Of all foreign countries Middle East employment is preferable since employer gives one month paid leave with flight charges that too for self and family for visiting home country. :hatsoffTo Saudi:bananaIf we go to other countries, you can have better social life but you can not save as you do in Saudi. So it is a compromise.
    My uncle who serves for the past 22 years here in Saudi, preferes to settle in Aus. (Because of his Son) after retirement. But he also heart to heart likes Saudi.:hiya
