Believe me or not its true. I immensely love my city Karachi but i have started to like Riyadh a lot and feel much better (minus those family politics around me ) or probably i have been too contend or lucky to have a wonderful spouse and friends.
You just need to have friends around and be active, i joined one page on social networking site as a admin of Riyadh ladies which has more than 500 Pakistani and few Indian ladies and it keeps me to busy, i even take care the sales and promotion for our Local musical Band and find it quite time consuming.
So the idea is,engage yourself in some activity rather than whining about riyadh and its life 
Riyadh ain't so bad, seriously.

Fully agree with Nonz. We spent 6 long years in AlKhobar and truly loved the place and still do. Now, having spent 26 years in Riyadh has made this our second home and we love it just the same. Its a matter of mind over matter.
@Nonz Is the band you are managing ANTAQAZ? I also came across another Pakistani band called NAQSH, recently, but have never heard them sing or play.

But it's much more fun to whine about things!

Whining, sure has become a great pastime and fun activity in the desert, especially when people get together for some Wining, as I understand?

I totally agree. I started to like being in Riyadh since I started socializing more and meeting new people.

The variety of people one can choose from to make friends in a city like Riyadh is one of the most diverse in the world

@Talanathas English teachers are much in demand here, especially females. You should try and look for some opportunities in the education sector for the coming new school year in September.

these events are not like just going for a walk in the park!!
either you are officially invited to attend (usually big business people) or you use some "waasta" and the third option is that you are so regular at their events that your name is always on the list.....
