living in riyadh saudi arabia

its almost 4 month living here and i gotta say I've seen some pretty fun,sad yet weird things happening here.i got a job here as a nurse in Riyadh first,the hospital definitely not what as I've expected.the working environment was totally different.me and my friends stays in the hospital compound which has been provided.all the facilities u named it from TV,sofa,pots,cups,microwave washing machine and wait for it.........dryer machine also being provided. women are not allowed to drive here so we went back and forth to places by bus or limo.when i meant limo,meaning a car like Toyota Camry  or innova will pickup us not some fancy limo u seen in movies.Here in Saudi.u need to have an id or some sort of identification went u going out or working here other than your passport.When we arrived here it was hot.my face was red  and and i had nose bleed several time due climate changes.if i'm not mistaken it almost autumn when we came.despite the language barrier that was so big,i manage to pickup some Arabic words to help me communicate with patients .previously when i met all my seniors who has worked several years at Saudi Arabia,they only mention some criteria for u to nailed this job.like everyone else,they never told us the negative vibes here.maybe they don't want to scare people off by telling some stories to the newbie.i gotta say u really need to prepare yourself and be tough as u can be.its okay if u wanna first cry due to lonely or u were thinking why did u accept this job?i tell u,when i was that moment,i cried too especially on the plane but i surround myself with good friends not the negative ones.the one who never left u behind and still helping u no matter what.here,everything needs patience which is the part i'm lacking but i'm learning to do that every single days.i learnt how to cook on my own too that's was a bonus for me,in just  4 months i lost 4 kg,there's 2 months left before i'm going back in January so i'm hoping all my plan gets well along with his time.u need to be so positive here and get rid all the negative vibes cause like it or not u are alone.u need to be independent and good at making choices.remember umairah,the secret to success is to pray :)
