Sorry,
It may McDonnel Douglas Aircraft Co, I never really gave attention what they do and why they were there...etc.
Taif is located about 2 hours driving distance from port city Jehda and it's located several thousands feet high from ground, so it's much cooler than any another place in Saudi. |

It's not McDonnel Douglas, it's Northrup. My dad worked on that compound and I lived in Taif for a year. They don't visit your house to check if you're making wine. It's called Saddique (same word as friend) and people distill it in their bathrooms.
She's right about the weather in Taif though. |

I learned Blackjack was the best game b/c it was you against the dealer not you against the house and the best slot machine is poker but you can only win big if you try for the flushes.

A lots of people say blackjack, blackjack, blackjack...., but I never play blackjack because I found out that I am just not good for blackjack.
My favorite is Texas HoldEM, I've had Royal flush 3 times which pay 500 times of amount you bet. However table games take time and require patience, but you can win quick money from slot machines if your luck follow you. The best time play slot machines is late Saturday night because all day ( Saturday is the busiest day ) people put money into machines, you need to win depend on another people's money, not your own. |

Some of you here said that korean girls are materialistic and said that negative way.
Age 22, when most my friends were thinking about marriage/career with Chabul companies, I decided to go Saudi Arabia. The main reason I decided to go Saudi Arabia was money, it was nothing to do with culture..etc ( I already knew they have terrible culture ).
I am a licensed professional and could make $ 75,000 a year in Saudi and could save almost $ 70,000 a year ( We were provided free house, free utility and free company car/driver ) and during I stay there I've traveled Barain, Egypt and Turkey.
There was no life for single foreign women, women can't drive, we couldn't go out individually ( we had to go out as a group even through we need to buy a bundle of green onion ), no bars, no wine/no alcohol ( Religious police regulalry visited male foreign worker's house to inspect if they are making wine at home ), no church ( we had underground church ).
I've married to an American guy who was making $ 250 a hour ( He was licensed professional ). I've dated several times in my life, somehow I've never dated with a poor guy/or high school graduates, not that I try not to do, but somehow it was always guys who were well educated with solid financial background I dated with.
I am not living in Las Vegas, but I am a regular client of one of biggest casinos in Las Vegas ( my cousin works at there ), I am an excellent poker player, once I've won $ 1.2 million during 18 months period, it require 5% of skill with 95 % of luck and somehow I had that good luck.
These days I don't play much because it seems the luck doesn't work with me any more, still I won 3 times $ 25,000 this year alone ( total $ 75,000 )and several hundreds many times and several thousands a few times.
I am an intensive competitor, this nature sometimes bring good things, but sometimes bring not so good things, a few times I've played 72 hours straight without any sleep ( 2 meals during 72 hours ) and one time I was so sick the staffs at casino had to call embulance 
I am a youngest of 5 children, even my brothers/sisters sometimes like  about me. When I told my mom that I am going to bring an America guy to introduce, she said " I don't know why, somehow I always thought you are going to bring white boy "
It was a great marriage and my parent loved him more than me in some way.
Materialistic ? I am not sure, but I was somewhat different. |
You're not materialistic, just boring, again........ |

The Al-Hada hotel there has indoor swimming pool and sauna, I used to go there every weekend. Have you been that hotel ? |

Not really, I learn a lots of lessons...
How I won $ 1.2 million during 18 months period at MGM Grand ?
It wasn't from 3 card poker/4 card poker/Texas HoldEm/Lets it ride or live poker, mainly it was from slot machines.
I first visited Las Vegas with several friends when I was just 21 years old ( it's a legal age for gambling in America ), I put $ 20.00 into $ 5.00 machine without much thinking and I've hit $ 25,000 jackpot ( it was 10 times pay machine ) which was 10x10 with double bar ( I still remember so clearly ), this was my first taste of casino in Vegas.
Since then I didn't visit Vegas for several years, I was busy with my life ( Saudi Arabia, marriage...etc ), then like I wrote here previously, unfortunately I became a widow, I couldn't get over the grief, then my cousin who was living in Vegas invited me there ( intention to help me to get over grief ), that's the when I started play again.
Somehow I had unbelieveable luck, I've hit $ 180,000 jackpot ( it was $100 slot machine and I've spent only $ 400 that machine ), anyway concerning with slot machines I've learned very quickly that no one can beat casinos ( you have no control ), I was smart enough to realize that reality very quickly, then I've focused table games and once again I did very well for a while.
These days I work 4 days a week, no time for visiting Vegas, but I have nothing to regret, NOTHING ! |
Are your arms too short to pat yourself on the back? I'm thinking so. |

"sid" aka moonshine is made using a "still" or distilling machine. Usually a spare room or spare bathroom is used to keep the contraption. It can be dangerous as a constant flame is required.
Wine is easy and can be made using any ole' extra large water bottle plus a case of juice. Bathtub gin requires an empty bathtub.
Beer is the easiest and can be made in 10 days in a pinch
If you really lived in Saudi Miss S, you should be able to figure out where I lived by my first post on this thread.

Seem like you lived in Riyad which is capital of Saudi Arabia.
I was in Taif which is 2 hours driving distance from port city Jedah, Taif is locate several thousands feet high from ground, so it's much cooler than any another place in Saudi and also it's known as resort town.
The road to Taif from Jedah is also a road to holy city Meca, so religious polices used to stop every cars in intersetion to check your belonging/trunk of your cars...etc
It was a great experience ! |

as yingwenlaoshi said above and what cracks me up the most is how the grammar goes from ok to a random bit being left out here and there, and then reverting to decent grammar again.
go take a look at the wacky t-shirt thread to see some wacky grammar.
miss/mister seoul is far too consistent with the grammar 'mistakes' for them to be actual mistakes. rather amusing.
and as billybrobby said, does this person actually sit down in front of the computer and take time to devise these things? and then answer the responses with the same contrived 'poor' grammar?
that is weird. |
