But don't tell anybody about it.

Oh and scot, I am expecting you to fiddle VIP membership for me at the Dancing Dervish Desert Disco, previously known as the Mirage, which is what I gather you are referring to. Arrange for the membership card to be left in my pigeonhole.

The best kept secret in Saudi that allows people to cope with the place and not become jaded is not an employer. It's a substance. It comes from Afghanistan and starts and ends with an "h". I'll let you fill in the blanks.

Dear veiledsentiments,
Ah, but I have discovered the secret, posted by the OP himself, on the Bahrain forum:

". . . Chinese girls . . . admire me for my wit, intellect and physique."

Surely, that MUST be the "best kept secret" in KSA (or anywhere else, for that matter.)
Regards,
John

Well, if I were a Chinese girl, I will admire Uncle Scott for his Scottishness and his Tall Poppy Syndrome! Laughing

Yikes! My mama told me, don't mess around with illicit substances in other countries!

Well, at least she should have!
