For the people who hate to read: please don't read this, could be dangerous for health... :lol: Somebody wrote something about "knowing right people and right places". Couldn't be more accurate than that: 2 weeks ago, great party with music, ... Read More

Why don't you ask to the Company to provide you a multi-entry visa (costs only 500 SAR) and you can travel everywhere you wish, with passport and/or Iqama. Much convenient as expat, you're not bonded to the ground (OK, depends also of some other... ... Read More

Dear Amy, you're too nice, I wish I would be as cautious as you see me, but the reality is quite different (if you only really know me)... OK, most of the time I like to spent in front of laptop seeing movies or sniffing around or listening music, ... Read More

It's my mistake Amy, because I wasn't clear enough, it was only a joke, it was obvious you're not planning anything... Your 1st post was clear enough, as far as I remember. On the other hand, even if we don't have such an intense social life, we ... Read More

Btw Amy, you seems to be quite familiar with process, why don't you introduce us to some nice people to have at least the hope that somehow, someday, somebody will invite us ? Maybe we could be good companions for any decent party you would plan... ... Read More

Octavian Silvestru

Wow, guys, like the saying "expensive perfumes in small bottles", you just concentrate some wise lessons in few lines (I know everybody's polite when it's about our hobbies and especially on forums ;)), but I'm still stuck to the long distance ... Read More

Good afternoon guys, may I interfere, as passionate (but quite beginner) in photography ? Not really agree with @TheLegendLeads: the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is an all around lens with capabilities for portrait and wildlife, ... Read More

Anyone interested in a trip out of Riyadh into the desert next week. There is a Meteor shower which peaks around August 11th to 13th. It requires nothing more than the naked eye and as dark as sky as possible. If anyone is interested please send me ...

Octavian Silvestru

Jas, why don't you just join the group if they will go, and grab a camera with you (my mate have his smartphone which make quite decent picts btw) and this way you'll do something that usually don't ? It's not compulsory to have a scope or a camera ... Read More

To Alliecat: because one one of your interests is the photography (I know, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder), could you suggest some places for pictures that are "from here and here only", to show the spirit of the place ? I admit, in the ... Read More
