The good life is over, (sigh). I got transferred to Saudi Arabia. No more single-malt Scotch. It's back to coffee and tea. Only four more days of Ramadan. I won't have to hide behind the air conditioning ducts to smoke a cigarette during daylight.
KSA is much more open than my last extended stay; the new King Abdullah has opened up many markets. Tons of money from oil sales to USA. Much improvement, but miles to go.

Do you get opportunity to go to Bahrain at weekend’s? I know when we had engineers for prolonged periods in Saudi they used to get the occasional weekend in Bahrain.
