wow, you have some exciting life stories!
I am seeing that youve Visited Israel too. How come did you manage to get an entry into a GCC country as they dont allow people if their passports have an Israeli stamp or anything that is Jewish?
You have been to some really exotic places! Great page!
I love the way you look at Riyadh or Saudi Arabia ...well I guess I will be leaving this beautiful place soon too !
You are so right about everything here, thanks for visiting my Saudi pages. I loved your Homepage and this Riyadh page. Good ole chop chop! Not too sure where our one is in Khobar!
Very interesting page, Frank. I agree with Jessica and cadzand; that square scares.
How interesting!
Very interesting tips on this forbidding city.
Yikes, you really did see everything. Chop chop square? No thanks.
It's perfect ~ a nightlife tip about morning. :-) Nah. . .you should leave the veiled look to someone else.
