Default Re: Work in Saudi Arabia for $20K/month tax free - what would you do?

Lived there as a child on and off for 2 years. My father hated living on embassy compounds or military bases. When possible, we would live in "regular" housing and go to local schools. It really does change your perspective of a nation and its people when you live and shop with them rather than just be in the country.

As an adult, I've gone back to visit there several times and have had Saudi friends visit me frequently (all very pro-American).
