Hello fellow ex-pats!!

I will soon be moving to Saudi Arabia from sunny South Africa in the next 10 days or so and look forward to meeting other cool ex-pats living there. I will be based in Dammam and travelling to Riyadh (unless things change when I get there).

Just wanted to say howzit and hope to catch up with some of you guys and girls soon!!

If you have any advise of what to bring and what not to bring please feel free to pass on your knowledge!

Awesome, cheers for now!

Hello!

I will be transferring from Riyadh to Dammam in the next few days.

I look forward to meeting a lot of expats as I transition to a different city.

Who knows? I might actually get serious about learning Arabic in Dammam.
