Sabine Your writing is so vivid. Thank you for sharing your adventures.you are opening a new universe for me and i think that you are very brave and resilient to do what you do. Please keep on writing....
Mummy Tantalising sketch of Nepal .. would love to hear more. Sounds like you'll be going back if at all possible .. could you work there? But possibly working there would be very different from being on holiday, and just as fraught with frustrations and difficulties as working in Saudi, but different ones.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Mummy Well well. Bum squirters have arrived in this country now - I saw an ad for one in a perfectly ordinary magazine, purporting to be the latest must-have for the status conscious. Don't let that deter you from coming home when you've had enough of Saudi.
N. G. Also in Asia. I missed it terribly when we went back to the US. Just didn't feel clean without it...
Mathew Wow. Powerful stuff
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Dr. Mauri Collins Check to see if there are trying-on rooms next to the women's mosque and bathrooms in the Mall - that's where they usually are.
Heine Hunter Hi Rosy. Could you possibly tell me more about the name and location of the apartments provided by IMU. I'm starting there shortly but find it hard to get any information. Thanks in advance
Rosy Henderson Hi Heine I just saw this message. Can you send me a private message please or tell m your email, I'll tell you more. Thanks.
ROY SCOTT I see Al faisalia tower in Riyadh, viewed from kingdom tower (bottle opener) I think?

J. Bro Rosy Posy, I miss and love you. You write beautifully. Can't wait to meet up with you in a normal city and marvel at the ridiculousness that is this experience...

re: On bum squirters
Ribby I love your wry comments on the culture and its values. I've been sending messages on the cat telegraph so that you are watched over and don't feel lonely and unloved. It worked in Jouf, not sure about Riyadh.
re: Back to the bright(er) lights
Miss.R Hi rosy, As a saudi citizen it was great for me to hear your experience about living in sakaka. For the past three years i was living in australia and as a foreigner there i was going through positive and negative experiences. Therefor i always wondering how it would be if it was the opposite, if a western live in my hometown?! Well, answer was found in your lovely blog. Thank you for writing down such detailed experience and good luck with your teaching job. Im happy to offer my help and friendship. Please do not hesitate to contact me on my email! Cheers R
