Dress Code

First the bad news - it looks like Im going to have to wear a suit for the first time in years. And in searing desert heat too. The good news is that this summer, linen, the coolest fabric around (temperatures wise) is in vogue so I can get a linen one easily.

Persian Gulf

In a few short days I shall begin my next new adventure as I travel to the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia where I shall be living and working for a while. My first couple of weeks will be in a hotel in Riyadh but after that I shall live in an appartment in one of the many compounds. I have agreed the terms of my assignment and will be back regularly, but as with all things new I feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation. I always knew this was likely to happen at somepoint but now it's almost here. I shall try to enjoy the time I am away but at the same time count the days til my return. It will be a golden oppertunity for me to experience the middle eastern culture from a safe standpoint without the spin we get from what we see on the TV.
