Well, my travels have brought me to the heart of the Middle East, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I'll be here for a year, working with the Saudi government. It's interesting work so far. |
|  | Visited the Royal Conference Center...well guarded, as evidenced by the military presence outside. Several more inside, as well, including the guy on our floor, who's sub-machine gun was conspicuously kept on "fire" (i.e., the little red dot was showing...). |

| Pros: | "An interesting city, if you can get here" | | Cons: | "Somewhat depressing, crowded, crazy drivers, lots of air pollution" | | In A Nutshell: | "Come here if you can...if you can't, look at this page." |
