 |
|
An oil worker was killed in Yanbu a few years ago. He was dragged thru the streets behind a Toyota Hilux and then paraded in front of a school full of young children. Real friendly people, apparently.
I talked to a recruiter about working at one of the universities or colleges in Yanbu not too long ago. They were called iesh canada. They wanted to interview me in Montreal. I asked them if they would pay for my travel costs up there and they said no. Here's the info they sent me: "the salary range is 9K - 14K SR net + health + housing + weekly transport fees (gas) + one year round trip ticket. the vacation is 2 times half month within the year plus 2 months paid summer vacation."
I can't imagine working in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing to do and risking my life for 9000 SR a month. But hey, it's your life. |

I did a lot of running in Yanbu at night. That was my social life.
The story about the oil worker made me shudder. However, I didn't encounter any problems. That's not to say that the threat level is nonexistent. At the same time, going to Yanbu does not mean you will be attacked. |

Of course, the word "still" used as an adverb here might more appropriately be used as a noun there.

| Many jokes amongst students about the sexual proclivities of Yanbu-ites. Will Yanbu be the first town in KSA to legalise same-gender marriages ? |
