Hi all
Firstly, I would like to apologise for my rudeness in not introducing myself properly("slap on wrist")
My name is Mike, well, Name is not to exciting I guess!!
I am due to arrive in Jeddah from UK in about a weeks time, for a 3 year contract with a well established Architectural Company!! "WOW you might say"!!! yes, its exciting I supose.
"Bare with me please, not use to writing in forums" 
actually never written in one before... anyway, lets crack on:
My career has kept me quite busy travelling to many destinations across the globe, meeting many different people and cultures (all exciting) "so why should this be different you might say"
well, i guess its not really.
Anyway, just recently spent a great 2 years in Dubai, (now that was really cool!!) spent 5 years in Cyprus, 2 years in Greece and 2 years in US not to mention 6 months in portugal, 1 year in Italy (that was also really cool!!) and a few other places but don't want to bore you, well, now its Saudi hooray!!
Anyway lets not get carried away with excitement just yet, after all i haven't even arrived
Moving swiftly on;
I enjoy all water sports, especially scuba diving and swimming, ("I hear Jeddah is great for that") spent most of my free time doing just that... being on the beach or on a yacht sailing and diving ("having a 24/7 tan is part of the fun")
Also enjoy racing fast cars, when i can, ("Dubai was great for that")well, thats enough about me....
So, now you know a little bit more about me than you did yesterday, hope i didnt bore you too much
Look forward to meeting some of you, when i eventually find a good compound and a place to crash etc....
Chow fo now!!
Lol!! Thank you!
It's a great job being an Architect, you get to work on many different projects and as i specialise in hospitals, i get to go all over the world ("actually where the money takes me").
Well being a teacher was my second career choice, not sure why it didn't work out though to be honest. oh, well, an Architects life is not all bad i supose
Good luck! hope you find a teaching post, I hear there is a lot of call for it in Saudi to be honest....
