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.
