Hi Sparrow, happy 4th July!!!
I'm in Dhahran, working for Saudi Aramco (I'm a secretary). You've probably heard of Aramco? Have been here just over six years now. It's a pretty good lifestyle, despite having to give up certain freedoms, such as not being able to drive off camp. But one of the good things is - gas is only 64 cents a gallon! Who did you work for, and what did you think of it? Life is pretty free on the compound, it's like being in suburban USA. And Khobar, the city just near our compound, is very relaxed, compared to Riyadh.
