You seem to have a fixation on Spanish restaurants. Presumably Istanbul is awash with them. The last Spanish meal I ate in Riyadh was at the Khozaima, when they flew a chef in from Madrid. The meal was excellent, but exorbitantly expensive and the portions were miniscule - I went off and had a hamburger afterwards.
There are a large number of excellent Chinese, Indian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Thai and even Saudi restaurants in Riyadh. Nothing compared to what you get in London (except for the Lebanese), but probably a quarter of the price.

But you are not in Riyadh, you are in Jubail, for now anyway. |

You seem to be shifitng the goalposts. We were talking about the Gulf in general, not me in particular.
We then went on to your claim that all or most TEFLers in the Gulf had unhealthy diets. So far you have not provided convincing evidence that the average diet in Seoul, Glasgow, Prague, Pittsburg or Ulan Bator is any better. |

| Neither have you provided any evidence. I am still waiting for your place that sells all that lovely produce in Jubail. |
