Life in Riyadh

Not at all Nonz. Things have changed a lot on the ground in the desert since the past 15 years. Most jobs that were enjoyed by Caucasian Western professionals have gradually moved to Asian tree climbers, esp after 911 and the spate of events that took place within KSA thereafter, and the brownies are having a ball enjoying the cream on top of the cake. 14K is nothing compared to the many folks I know who are taking three times as much, all from the depths of Asian jungles and mountains, in banks, coprorates and even government.

Better late than never, the local businesses have realized that we can perform or even outperform the developed merry men and women from Harvard, Stanton, Eton, Oxford and Cambridge.

I was fortunate to have been employed with an American spoonsor from day one here and hence didnt have to grope up the ladder like many other have managed toi achieve with time. However, the bottom line nowadays is that Brown is as beautiful as White.
