Best to ask people within the Srca, where is ameriki and husband that work on the ground? They posted early in the piece and have been quite lately. They may be able to shed some light. You could always call the trade section of your embassy for information.

It is such a shame. Hospital staff dont call them dead crescents for no reason. Some of the gals were chatting today in the lunch room about all the guys that they have met who have left because of the activities in the organization. Such a shame as the community will suffer because of the...

It is as safe as any place on the planet, even with Yemen next door.

Has anyone asked why they require a High School Diploma? Surely being a graduate of any discipline would be held as a higher award to a high scoool diploma. What if you didn't finish high school and went to college as a mature age student? If it is for registration with the Saudi Health...
