I know we've had a few long term posters who've done it. Hoping to get some input on your personal experiences and advice.

All smartass comments are also welcome.

Ex Pat Life in Saudi


I thought this meant that Corey Dillon got life in prison in Saudi Arabia.

You mean expat, right?

Unhitched, uncommitted, totally deflated.

Bahrain looks like the only bastion of hope.

I lived there in the late 90's. It was a really cool experience and a bonus was how close we were to vacation experiences in Europe/Asia. I know from other people that have stayed there though that the experience has changed a lot post 9/11. Saudi is relatively crime free though FWIW.

I've turned them down twice. I hate the place, hate the region but you know how these things work right now.

Depends on where you are living. Chances are you'll be stuck in a trailer with 2 stinky dudes reading well reports. I think your first 100k is tax free though so that's a plus.

You with Schlumberger?

Man, you are not the only one... Well, it depends on how much money we are talking.. I can't say I would pass up $1B, but I know what you are saying & I agree. Never been, so I can't speak from experience, but I can't think of one reason why I would want to go there.

A bumpkin like you would get eaten alive in a place like that.


I mean literally, they would cut you into pieces and eat you.
