hey ..welcome to Jeddah Marry .. whereabouts you working and staying ?

most of the social scene here is confined to work colleagues and apartment buddies.. unless you are living on a compound or know ppl living there..

ladies... hello. i'm new to this blogging thing! but i am thinking of moving to SA working as a nurse.. what is life like there?

Hello ..

hi mary welcome to jeddah!!

welcome to the magic kingdom

Welcome in Jeddah

Welcome Marry, I know you must be feeling out of place, it takes time to adjust to the life in Saudi Arabia. It is quite difficult to go alone and surf around the mall, unless ur accompanied with a representative or with group of women. I live with my family here ( Wife & 3 Kids). If you feel like meeting us ur are most welcome.

im new here too. will be here a week tommorow and already i am feeling like i am gonna go crazzzy i hope their is more to do than shopping !!!!

Welcom Dee_Dids, I know it must be boring and you will feel you r lost. Living so long here I can suggest you to join any health club, you will make friends and you will back on track.
I recommend you just dont close the doors and sit alone, mobilize yourself and do some physical exercise.

Regards,
Bari

Welcome to Jeddah Bridges on Arafat street has loads of friendly people that you'll surely enjoy meeting. There's loads of events to attend, plus there's Edge of Arabia's exhibition on Jan 18th and 19th, which should be a good place to meet art appreciators if you are one.

Also, Twitter is a good place to find people according to similar interests.

Hope that helps

Well I emailed her a month or two ago and she never replied.  So either she's left and uninterested--OR--she's made a million friends and is SO busy she doesn't have time to reply!
