Departing Saudi Arabia amidst COVID-19 by Uther
Anyone have a guess as to when the borders will be opened for us to return home with our final exit visas? I will be moving to a new company in Saudi Arabia, and sadly my company does not offer Iqama transfers...no comment. Just wondering if it ...

Diversity/tolerance/racism question by Uther
I am a white American male, my wife is South Korean, and our daughter is, well, Korean-American. I am a bit concerned over possible racism in Dammam, and figured I would come here to hear what you lot have to say on the matter. Are interracial ...
