World view of Interesting World....

When we started this blog it was simply for the purposes of keeping our family and friends up to date as to what we were up to in Saudi Arabia. We figured that it would be lot easier to simply make a post and let everyone read it, rather than having to email everyone individually.

It was also to be some kind of record for us of all the things that happened whilst we were here. Too often lots of marvellous things are forgotten in these kinds of situations.

We did not expect nor realise that it would be read by anyone else. However it obviously is. We have been contacted by number of people who are thinking of taking jobs here in the Kingdom especially at PMU. It turns that this blog is interesting and useful to a wider audience than just the family.

So to all you readers out there whoever you may be, welcome to our blog and thank you for taking the time to share our experiences with us. We will endeavour to keep the blog as informative as we can. Saudi Arabia is a place full of quaint oddities and surprises. Often you will see something, smile and think “Only in Saudi…”

There is a great little blog gadget called the ClustrMaps. Clicking on it shows where our visitors have come from. Here is what it looks like:
