Well I can appreciate what you are saying...(kind of) but you act like all involved went into this blind and you don't know our backgrounds. I have been in the mid-east working for 7 years now and Saudi was the 5th country in the region for me so I had some idea of what I was getting into...(I thought), but what went on behind the scenes there even threw me for a loop. It is by far the worse example of corruption I have seen since working overseas. It just made no sense at all. I understand that if they don't pay there is nothing you can do but at the same time you sign a contract and have to take people at their word because that is all people have. I actually took a pay cut to go there so it was not about the money for me. I was bored of sitting around as an insurance policy just in case someone got hurt. The majority of these threads are to warn people of the corruption that goes on there. And of course just because we got screwed by which ever side (it's hard to tell anymore) doesn't mean we will just forget about the month salary we are owed and right it up as experience. Wether we need the money or not it is a matter of principle and I personally do not like the fact of people sitting over tea laughing about how they put one over on me. I am really curious where you get the information of asians referring to us as cock roaches since my wife is asian and I speak the language fluent enough to know when someone is putting me down. I don't know if you meant to come across in a demeaning way but I have been offended by your post the most!!
