Just moved here from NYC, Now What?

You can join a meet up that other members organize here if you want to meet new frieds... I am into photography too and that it catches my attention when I read the word photography in your profile...

Anyways, maybe we can arrange a meetup sometime so you can meet new friends in Khobar.

Yeah would love to meet up with some other people from the area. Maybe check out one of these compounds I hear so much about.

I would love go get some great street photography shots as well. I shoot mostly exotic cars and it would be a nice change of pace. Have a link to your portfolio?

I still don't have a specific area in photography... I take pictures of anything that interest me... here is the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/eragonbrisingr

Hello there! and welcome to the desert!

I am not much into photography, but then cars are an area of interest to me alright!

Send me a PM with your number and we shall see if we can meet up or something.

Where is everybody here from?

Hi Cooper!

What! you moved from Ny to HERE??? WHY???

sorry I do not mean to sound rude LOL It is just very interesting the REASONS why we come to Sauid..........

Nassie

well nessie, its probably basically the same reason as the millions of other expats come to saudi for.....A Job!

Why I asked this question is because Saudi is such a "last frontier'...... MY reason is because I REALLY want to get to know the Middle East THEREFORE I applied for a job here and I was very specific: I wanted to work for a SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY. Their lifestyle and the history of the Royal Clan is fascinating reading and living (:0)material.

I think in a way I am protected against the harsh realities of the day to day life here in Saudi? I think I might have a few more privileges cause of my work as a Manager(being a woman as well) that women in Saudi do not have merely because of their gender. I am allowed to wheel and deal with men on a one to one basis because somehow being a MANAGER I am seen as GENDERLESS LOL!!!! OUCH!!!

I have been wondering if their is anybody out there who also work for a Royal Family?

I would like to "compare notes" (alas not in like telling it all) to get a little more insight and understanding of their lives/protocol/etc......

Tx

Actually there are a lot of women (many expats) in managerial positions throughout Riyadh, at many hospitals that I know of (sorry, don't know anybody working for a royal family but I DO have a story from a friend of a friend that I'll share via PM, if you want).

Yeah.......... share..... LOL
