Yeah. This shouldn't be Russia - and I say that as someone who freely describes themselves as a Russophile, at least having a fascination and respect for her people, history and culture if not the succession of autarchs that have parked their asses in the Kremlin over the centuries.

Originally posted by Scopedog View PostI'm from the UK, but my parents came out here as expats in the late 80s and I've been coming back pretty much my whole life. Right now I'm just started working here myself - not in Saudi itself, which frankly sucks as a place to live, but in Bahrain, which is a small island country in the Gulf connected via causeway, which is a lot more free and overall not a bad place to be. I'd say Jeddah is probably just a little over two hours away by car.
