Re: Riyadh

u have many desi restaurants…desi grocery stores as well as clothes shops…
And a compound usually provides very good facilities to its residents…
rest abt general life for pakistanis…i cant comment much…depends on wht kind of life u r looking for…and the social circle you are in…
its best to socialize…

Re: Riyadh

-plenty: lahori khaba, others i cant think of them but there are enough

  • theres grocery stores like panda ,othaim and hyper markets and you can find pretty much everything
  • there are a few but they mostly suck.They are expensive plus the clothes arent that good.
    -you can get a pehla connection (it has a few channels) .We have this satellite that encrypts from the internet( dont know whats it called) there are plenty of channels (1000 so)

Re: Riyadh

dont worry mate, life is not very difficult there. you will get almost every thing you need. Your wife might have a problem as there is no freedom to drive on roads. Inside compounds, yes she can :-). I dont live there but generally, young people in late 20ies or early 30ies find it a sort of boring place. Though over all, they dont call it bad.
