Hi all聽 - good to meet you

I think this is going to be a huge shock to my system, no bars, women (that's about all my life has consisted on to now)

alcohol I can go without, women is going to be a challenge so im going to need to fill my life up with hobbies ))

I like to weight train and guess ill use this year or so to get fitter, id also like to buy a piano and learn to play again (any ideas if this is easy to get hold of? cheap second hand is fine) I think a language would be usful to learn also.

id like to fish and get my boat licence (is this possible?)

im moving to work out here in management in construction.

all ideas would be much helpful

im staying on the western compound at Jubail.

As per a boat, a friend of mine sent this to me today, regarding why he doesn't use his kayak:

Because of the restrictions on watercraft in Jubail (which is why you don鈥檛 see any small motorless boats in the water here), I didn鈥檛 bother to re-register it with the coast guard after my first license expired last year.聽 I had to get a boat driver license (required a knowledge test and visit to the hospital for blood & eyes), a deed, a registration book (complete with reg #, which had to be painted on the side), physical inspection of the boat and an operating license, all of which took 3 month to get and all but the driver license had to be renewed every year.

Perhaps you'll have better luck, but I wouldn't count on it, sorry mate!聽 As for lifestyle here, find yourself a project to keep busy.聽 One of the many pluses of Jubail is the proximity to Bahrain.聽 If you positively, absolutely have to have a drink and chat up a lady, it's only a few hours away.
