If you so concerned just stay away! Stay in your country where you can't get a high paying job, having to travel here and critize the praying times etc...its really simple, this country does not need another ill-informed informant complaining about life here, spreading it on to others. Every country has its rules.. No1 is forcing anyone to come here!

I'm assuming no in Riyadh and see what the locals are doing everywhere else?? I think that's a pretty common theme
Hopefully the compounds are big enough to run around in

my frame of reference a male ex pat. I think you have to be in KSA for 4-6 weeks to understand what can and cannot be done and what can be done where. but of course I would absolutely not speak to any muslim woman that is not allowed and that is a law to be respected. I think I spoke to two in 15 months one asked me to pick up something in a shelf in the super market which of course I did, the other handed me her cash point card when I was at the front of the queue and PIN and asked me to withdraw money which of course I did. You can talk by accident ! So not too many accidents. I also had two great Sauid guys working for me at the bank, one a prince :0) well it was the kings bank. Happy days.
