Compounds? I have heard of those. I wont be living in one of those, which means i will be isolated from other foreigners mostly. I havent said yes yet. Its a big descision to make. It will be a two year contract if I do accept the job, but they prefer someone to stay for five years. Im a little nervous of the unknown I guess. I only know stuff about saudi from what i have read on the internet. Most of it, seems to paint them as ruthless tyrants, but then again...its better to talk to people who are /were there. Hope you have been well!
