Hey Adam,

Usually when someone post on this forum saying that he/she is new , he/she will get few welcoming messages from some of EB senior guys and that聮s about it, no real action happens..soooo,I am taking this to a new level of greeting new neighbors since it聮s always a nice gesture to make a great first impression about the country and possibly begin a solid friendship聟 DON聮T聮 EXPECT A PIE , but let聮s do what guys in Riyadh are doing and meet for coffee this weekend .
Am suggesting Costa Cafe, Cornich next to Sheraton Hotel on Saturday at 4:15 p.m. so all you guys (let聮s start with the guys for all the obvious reasons) who like to join feel free to do so聟

You are working even on a Saturday !! (am still trying to get use to the idea of Saturday being a weekend)..am guessing many people are still working on Saturdays, so let聮s change it to Friday, same place same time

Hi Adam ! Welcome to EB

You'll make a lot of friends here on EB forums.
I'm working in Finance for a Trading Company too. My office is in Dammam. Also looking to move to Dubai / Singapore.

A pie would be great. Is there any places in KSA where I can buy a meat pie?

I don聮t think that you can buy meat pie here in Jeddah聟am having flashbacks for a kidney pie that I had some time ago, Had to act as a good guest and eat the whole slice....was awful

Way to go Ahmadq, good of you to take the initiative in Jeddah. The Riyadh EB'ers had their successful second meeting last Friday and we are looking forward for more.

Best of luck guys, and to all new comers, a hearty welcome as well.

No worries, you be there on time at the specified place and I am sure some one will turn up. Thats how it happened for us, although TLL and I agreed to meet there before hand. You could invite some one you know who will come for sure as well.

Welcome to Jeddah Toddsmum....

To make friends here, it聮s compulsory to bring some Welsh cake coated with extra sugar with you otherwise forget about it.

I feel that I had stolen this thread from Jonex

.. sorry man, I will shut up

in that case open a new thread concerning about the Jeddah gathering, this title thread will not persuade expat at all.....just suggesting..... thus filipino like me can participate?
