Has anyone seen a blog written by expats living and working in Saudi?
A blog is like an online diary for everyone to read. I'm not looking for a blog that outlines political or critical stuff about Saudi but issues about day-to-day life. Topics: where to buy stuff, interesting things to see/go, driving, daily experiences, etc.

Thanks. Titancman

I'm planning to leave in a few weeks, but otherwise I'd be happy to add my two hallalas to such a 'blog'.

GWhat about 'expatsinsaudiarabia' maybe .com added or use Google- a Yahoo group-it has over 3000 entries.

Most blogs ae pretty boring , but a blog about l"life" in Saudi would be the ultimate in tedium.

It's not like watching the grass grow; it's like watching the grass not grow.

Don't shoot me! I'm just the messenger.

There's a sort of blog that takes all the BS you guys tell each other and rates it according to how accurate the author thinks it is.

I shook my head crying and laughing reading parts of it.

Don't PM me, e-mail me if you'd like the address.

It's called "Arabian Tales: Expatriate Myth and Legend in the Arabian Peninsula" By Bill Corr.

Some entries really make you wonder...
