I’ve probably blabbed on too much about my personal odyssey to Saudi Arabia the last few days, so I will return you – albeit briefly – to our regularly scheduled programming 🙂 | View | Upload your own You might find a few slides in here interesting… I’ve been writing, blogging and presenting on the…
Background first, then Day One. Oh and thanks to Shel Israel for writing about and understanding the importance of this project. And Stilgherrian (hmmm, I think) 🙂 So Sunday is a working day in Saudi – the weekend is Thursday and Friday. I had concerns about travelling from the Hilton Hotel to the Effat College…
