Life's such a rollercoaster. It's been a LOT of fun. But for some reason i started to think about leaving the bigtown for a while. When my agent came with a proposal from Riyadh, it sounded just as far away as i wanted.

If i was going to spend some time over here, i'd rather check what ppl here had to say. So I typed saud1 in technorati, skipped a few results, and came accross this article, where i discovered i knew absolutly nothing about this country. Before even starting to shape my own ideas, i would have to check a few other bloggers, so i followed the links and landed in saudijeans. The more i read the more i wanted to know: scholarships abroad and a saud1 woman filmaker, the summary of the novel "Girls of Riyadh", the dotcoms emerging in the gulf. Eventually i took from there to saudiblogs and
checked a few links. I became instantly engaged.

I've been around for a while now, living here and there. But nowhere near the midle east. So when i got here everything was sooo new to me. And it's not like i could meet you guys any day in the pub after work, you know, and talk about life. I dont mean to sound rude, but i wanted to hear some from this ppl in thobs and abayas, this people who are my neighbors but i can't meet. So I added some feeds to my reader, became a regular of some of your blogs.

In this weeks I've read many lucid thoghts, like ubergirl on saudi men stalk1ng, or dotsson on airheads on vacation. I heard pink_ballerina confessing and bissa dreaming. I read HRH tell us of gorgeous saudi girls in Lebannon. And i found a place where I feel less like the alien.

So I dunno you guys, but i see ALOT going on out there. A lot of new ways to do things on the web. And i feel like saying mine too. So i started this place, where nothing is forbidden.

Feel at home.
