Salaam/Hi,
I have just moved to Riyadh (a couple of days ago :s) with my husband. We are living in an apartment on the outskirts of Sulaimaniya- both my neighbours are local and don't speak English...so i'm wondering how will I start making friends... :s
Whats life on a compound like? Is it much easier to meet expats?We tried driving by one, but it was heavily guarded up. I grew up in Dubai, so my idea of compounds is just nice villas with a shared pool and gym! would you say Riyadh compounds are more or less like that? What are the advantages of living in a compound as opposed to living in independent villas/apartments in Riyadh?
I'm sure i'll have plenty of questions over the next few days/weeks or even months! So please bear with me...!
Thanks
