Loving it so far. Only thing I miss (I use this term loosely...its only been a couple days so I dont really miss anything. I know I will eventually though.) about the states so far are the mountains/scenery and my family and friends. Culture change isnt bothering me at all though. Having a great time.

I really hope you can settle there for a while,have a great time and be successful at work,..not that they dump you for another guy after half a year or so

Enjoy it!

To our Middle East members, please forgive my ignorance, but I though that alcohol was forbidden in all of the countries there.

Erppa You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks and Rolls!

I do think it is available in both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait although illegal. But as always when something is forbidden or restricted there is a black market.
