Hi Anna I am soon to begin a teaching job in Riyadh, and I am really looking forward to it. Reading your positive comments was encouraging to me, as so many blog sites seem to be inhabited by trolls with nothing but compliants. I also believe that one must be realistic about the country one is living in, and not expect things to be the same as they were at home. In preparing to leave, I am aware of the many restrictions on women, but I have a lot of personal and professional goals that will be achieved by being here, so the pros far outweigh the cons for me. Something tells me that I am in for some pretty interesting times. Thanks for your article.
