Most europeans cant stand the rag heads after working with them but if you were there for a short time it was maybe different.

 

i lived and worked in Riyadh and found it one of the most exasperating experiences of my life. lovede the weather though and made some lovely friends (ex pat)

[neilsherlock 226]

i dont doubt that. Wouldnt say i liked everything about the culture, but they could not of been kinder to me. I was only there 2 weeks. I did see the poor Indian and philipeno men get treated a little diffrently though
