Not so scared white guy

Well here I am. It's really not that bad. People are nice food is excellent due to price. I've got a temp car till after the holidays. etc Funny times this morning I had to go and get 6 passport size photos. We rock up to this smelly old photo lab, the guy takes me into his studio. Now this photo lab could only supply passport photos in quantities of 4 or 8. So on upsizing to 8 photos. I was forced to have 1 free studio portrait. You can see a second rate picture of it in the photos section.

My 3 month plan is to get the internet connected at whatever compound they shove me into and complete some writing in the diary section. Till then most probably only dribs and drabs. Checkya

The Tulip Inn. Although nice I'm just about over the sight of the place. This is where I've been living for the last week and half. Costing Worley a small fortune. Who cares about profit anyways?

After going through a pretty intense medical in Australia I get to Saudi just to do it all again in what seemed a third world surgery.

A photo in remembrance of waking up an hour to early and sitting in the foyer waiting for my driver.

Yes yes I know what your saying 'he found it....' The sign above the door welcomes single males. So much of a family restaurant. Inside hangs a picture of a family enjoying dinner, not to worry the female has a pixilated face.

Well this is it. Looks like i'm staying with my Nissan Sunny. Bastards said I'd be getting a nice Camry after the break. No Camry for Ben. Just the Sunny with an interior full of discarded date seeded spat round the place. Alright!
