[quote="cary.s.martin"]Hello!

I was wondering what it is like for a woman to teach of there.

I was also curious about being a woman and over there. \
\

1. Being a woman, when you go out running errands,etc. without your husband, you will receive special treatment everywhwere in most places..

2. Be prepared to fit in with a Harem like community in female-only workplace with multinational workmates, plotting,planning,backstabbing...etc..etc..
Double the fun by having your husband work in Male section , , you will have the joy of life .. plotting and spilling beans to both sides of work place (Female section as well as male section)
3. Most female students still dont know the reason they are studying, with bleakfuturefor them. Having said that, there are serious students who work hard, majority , its another Harem inside another Harem..
Case in point, you will be rewarded amply for all your troubles..

Good Luck

"I was surprised by this statement. ''My'' compound was a modest one but had two good pools. I thought swimming pools were standard on Saudi compounds?? "

Great! I'll have to tell my friends who are still in Saudi to tell HR that all their housing options are substandard. Enough said ... my experience of being locked in my compound, given a curfew, not allowed to speak to the male staff and told that we did indeed have to cover our hair, is all just atypical of Saudi. Perhaps it is a cautionary tale for single women coming to the Kingdom.

^ What city and what compound were you in? If you were in the compound of a Saudi university/college, or a special compound of an employer, then I can see what you are saying.

However, if you live in a proper residential compound that is not taken over by any particular employer nor attached to a Saudi university/college, it is great. They all contain pools, tennis courts, and other amenities (small grocer, restaurant, billiards, ping pong, hairdresser, etc), have no curfews, and women (and men!) can dress as they wish, and they indeed do.

I suspect she merely made a mental typo...like the other day when I wrote "anamolous" when I meant "analogous."

I was referring to a previous quote which said that swimming pools were standard in Saudi compounds. That would have been paradise compared to the dorm rooms and shared facilities we were given and the apartments for married couples were not much better. Therefore, I assumed that my experience in Saudi was atypical. Everyone else seemed to be raving about the compounds and "country club lifestyle". So, the government schools are supposed to be worse than other places. I wish I had known that a few years back.

My friend Jorge and I are two wild 'n' crazy guys and we like-a groovy times. We wanna go to Saudi Arabia swinging country clubs to meet sexy Saudi fox-es because they want us to come on to them now! What compound is best for showing my groovy chest hairs to excite these curvy Saudi fox-es? Raytheon? BAE? Aramco? Maybe we just come there to all of them for swinging. OK now, which of you groovy foxes think you wanna come on to us now?

It is just a question of changing your orientation.
