Chowkies in Riyadh

Topic started by flyhighkites on Apr 5, 2005 3:10:46 am

Any such species? I have a friend there who’s all alone and desperately searching signs of Pakistani life. Apparantly he’s found some Pakistani colony or whatever, but I promised to find him someone better than the occasional apna usual ka bhai log over in Riyadh.

Any chowkies there - who can also tell us a bit about life in Riyadh/ KSA in general?

P.S. any couldbe smart ass with lectures abt the awfully veiled life of KSA may jump on over into the Chowkies in DXB thread!

Hi Raiya,

I don’t think any city sucks!

You just need to (try to) understand the place you live in & things are always not that bad! :)

not in riyadh...
but in dammam, some 400 km from riyadh
can write a 15-page thesis about life in saudia (in how many ways it sucks and the very few good reasons to be here)
but guess nobody’s goin to read this
so
some other time

btw ixno.... KSA is Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

talking of dxb - am back from my vacation
dxb was grrrrreat apart from the few hitches in the airport - which involved a 5 hr wait at the bassbort clearance
can anyone tell me what stage the dxb stock exchange is in. Has it opened - is it functioning - waghera

sorry flyhighkites - am trying to avoid the dxb thread as it brings back such happy vacation memories
good luck to your friend
and what is KSA?
