Hello everyone. I'd like to say thanks to everyone who responds to these posts because they have been a huge help to me. I've been reading this blog for a couple of hours.
I was contacted by an employer from Jeddah about 5 days ago and I got hired today. So needless to say I haven't had much time to do much research.
I am an American resident but born in Durban, South Africa where there's a huge population of Muslim culture. As someone who's lived in a foreign country I do understand and accept that there are going to be some challenges and I'm ready for that.
What I'm interested in is meeting and connecting with the expat community and making new friends.
I'm a single female so I suppose that means I can only hang out with other single females?
I'd love to see where to shop, cafés perhaps where single women are allowed.
I would Iike to do during my free time(Sundays) is learn to play piano, learn to speak Arabic and to do any other LEGAL fun stuff. :-)
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
