Looking for friends in Al Khobar

1POSTS

12 years ago

Hello,

I am an American working in Saudi Arabia and I am about to lose my mind here.聽 There is not really anything to do but eat, sleep and go to the mall!聽 LOL.聽 Of course there is no chance for social interaction at the mall.聽 I think I would be thrown in prison for talking to a female and the males don't look like the sociable type.聽 What to do?

I would really like to meet some expats who are sharing the same issues I am!聽 Anyone looking for good intelligent conversation?聽 Man or woman, I don't care at this point.聽 If you are arabic or filipino and want to learn English I will teach you.聽 In exchange, teach me arabic or tagalog.聽 I have Skype and also all of the usual ways to communicate by smartphone...Viber, Line, Tango...etc.

If you want to talk to me, let me know!聽 I hope to hear from someone soon!

Johnathon

Hello Jonathan,

If you interested in intelluctual conversation and some social life, try calling and visiting one of the toastmasters group in Khobar. you will find them in this website (along with what is Toastmaster if you didn't know)

Hello Jonathon

My family are very possibly coming to live in Al Khobar in Jan, and very happy to hook up.

We British, although wife is actually Cuban.

Tell me, can you get Wi-Fi in a compound house? as you mention that you have Skype.

We do have internet connections and plenty of stores that selles Wifi routers. Moreover the service providers are in the midset of installing fiber optic lines and some areas in alkhobar/dammam have them and already in use with great feedback.
The internet business is the fastest growing business in SA, you can see why lol

Hi Jonathon

Thanks for that. Like you, would go crazy without home internet over there I imagine.

I am happy to set up a Skype call if you want to give me an insight into what we might be getting ourselves in form...Skype details?

Cheers

Hello Johnathon,
i saw your comments, i agree some of your points but not at all. for social entertainment you can go Behrian and out side the country, or there are special places for non Muslims you can go there.
if we come to this country we should take care of this country rules and regulations and i Saw many american and eurpians聽 they are taking care of these things and i really appreciate them,...and i am really impressed from those who are taking care of their cultures etc.
by the way you mentioned about English Language, i am really interested to Learn English i knows 60% but i cannot speak continuously. i need help from your side. by the way i am from pakistan and you will find me a best friend.
please send me your skype.

living here for the first time is really very hard.you will have a culture shocked but you have to work so you have to adjust.
and you are right theres so many restrictions here and you have to follow.but dont worry,internet allowed here.
by the way thanks for offering a free language lessons for saudis and filipinos but in our country our second language is English.
