Any know anybody anything about jiddah?

[Justus]

Yep. Aurora (formerly Grunley-Walsh International) has it, partnered with First Kuwaiti. Do a search of the forums on here and make your own conclusion on that pair.

Was wondering how things were there may be going over. Things to do living arrangements things like that.

It's Saudi Arabia, One of the strictest Islamic countries ever. There is nothing to do...Lol, There is NO Alcohol, NO women, Nothing... There is the Red Sea, which has a private beach for foreigners, only its 100Riyal which is roughly 26.75 to sit in the sun, occasional women show up. They pray here 5 times a day, and it seems with our schedule it makes it hard to anything. On fridays down in city central you watch the be-headings in the courtyard. (not for the weak) There are alot of american resturants, fairly decent priced, and decent food. Im assuming you are coming over as a contractor, so they have their own private compound. My company is staying at a Hotel. Im not sure details to your contract but you will ride in a regular car (no protection), not 7-11's... Also it gets really really hot, I've been to baghdad several times and its a breeze there, If you plan on being here thru the summer... Right now, not to bad.. Personal items (I.E. soap, shampoo, deoderant, etc... really expensive) (Cigerettes really cheap, 1$ a pack for Marlboro's.) Umm, i cant think of anything else if you would like to know anything else hit me up.

There isnt anything to do here, But Work, Sleep And Eat...
I dont want to say anything detailed about the job here in specific, Other than it's screwed up. But which one isn't. Just this might have a little more problems it's being ran by First Kuwaiti.

Hope I answered some of your ?'s... If you do come, Negotiate.

I never found anything interesting about that place I mean nottttttting- Sand is their main natural resourse even more then oil...

Jiddah - is not a great place to be friend - if money is tight and you need to take a job - just be forwarned - and believe about all the bad things you hear.

If you could get on the persian gulf, I have had some excellent off shore fishing there both hook & line and spear fishing,.

Take care.
Mexfishguide:cheers

[Justus]

I agree, Mex. I don't know why any non-Muslim would work there...unless your kids are starving to death.

[paintermike]

I kno that I will probably catch HELL from some of yo---BUT I THINK IF THAT SAND WAS MIXED WITH ALITTLE NAPOM IT WOULD BE A NICE LOOKIN PIECE OF GLASS!!!! SORRY- BUT THIS REDNECK IS SORT OF FED -UP!!!!

[guitartexan]

check out my latest post.
There may well be no reason for us to HAVE to transfer our valuable oil field technology to the sand pit.
Does any rat have or can get some more information on the field in Montana that is now producing 60k barrels a day?
If this info is true, then we wish to leave. Thanks for the goat tendon stew and they can keep the deviled lizard spread.

Yummy!
(wretch)

There is the Red Sea, private beach for foreigners, and only its 100Riyal, it is probably 26.75 sit in the sun, the occasional woman show. Here they pray 5 times a day, it seems with our schedule, LED Flashlights (http://www.meritline.com/led-flashlight---c-7832.aspx) which makes it difficult to have any.

Are you taking drugs or trying to sell shit on our site :wtf :nono:

[guitartexan]

And not that beurocrat Ban Kyi (rev.) Moon!

They are not satisfied with hacking and stealing our intellectual property. They must squeeze as much profit from the hated capitalist market as possible. This helps put them in the upper klass in their feeble country.
The countryside of Russia and China reek of fifty year old infrastructure and China is still relying on rhino horn to cure cancer for heavens sake. They have not invented anything really useful since gunpowder.

We still know how to use that better than anyone including Amamonkeejad in Iran and comrade ugo in the land of oz. (as in oil by the)

Ban any turf hawking their crap on this site if they did not go through the RPI process.
