This weblog has been running reports of daily life in Saudi Arabia seen through the eyes of a Canadian couple. It's a must-read!
In the past weeks I have sensed a much higher level of animosity towards foreigners from the local population. Little things that are still quite unsettling. Glares in the street, being given "the finger" from passingcars…and this was before the air strikes. Sue and I stay more or less glued to the media and in constant touch with the Canadian consulate. Not sure how any evacuation would proceed but if the airport is not an option,we are equipped to follow our GPS and take our chances in the desert along with a few other 4WD equipped expats. Praying it will never come to that but, at the same time, having to be ready for any eventuality.
