Saudi Arabia ! Was worth living.
Really? You are the first person who said this ..People love sudia for holly places but they were not happy about living in there

Well i have been to Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Qatar, Singapore, Thailand :)

My best time was in Srilank i love their Hospitality and overall weather was great. Food was too spicy but it was delicious. Infact Their golden coconut water is yummy.

Malaysia was awesome too, Their beaches are damn good. Not that expensive though. people are nice.
what you were doing in these countries? Mostly people prefer to live in western countries. Did you find Pakistani food in sri lanka?

Born n raised in Riyadh! I have a love hate relationship with this country :P but overall its a great experience living here. as soon as I move somewhere else I start missing Azans, deserts, food even Saudis! :lol: May Allah keep blessing this country.

I lived in CHina for 5 years I loved my stay there. Learned alot from Chinese people they have crazy work ethics. I miss my professors university life , beautiful nature and weather in China.

Went to Bahrain and Dubai nothing unusual except clubs and beaches :P

Stayed in Srilanka for a day smoked good weed and enjoyed nice weather in Negombo.

Yes everyone has different experience. Some found it boring over there with no place for any sort of entertainment unless you find barren desert as attractive ..too hot weather and artificial air conditioning inside every building and even grass is artificial ..some people faced arrogance and racism from arab people and they complained about different laws for arabs and non arabs and some guys in our villages told me that many non arabs established business in KSA( in the name of Arabs) after working hard for so many years and once it started running successfully then arabs came and take over it by force and they cannot do anything about it as there s no law to protect your rights as businessman or employee ...there are others workers who did not got their wages and had to faced mistreatment ..
I read many such stories in news as well

All your points are valid and true.and I agree with you.from saudi perspective the audisact is that Foreigners have overthrown Suadis in numbers pretty much which they dont like and feel insecure no matter how much you care and serve them.so Saudi government has come up with a plan to depopulate Saudi Arabia from foreigners as much as possible and make more room for locals in the Saudi Jobs market.which is the reason why most pakistanis are exiting SA,so as the rest of foreigners except for those belong to Middle eastern countries.as for living doesnt mattered for me for not having greenary or rains,what did was peace of mind.the opportunity to visit HOLY KAABA and the honour to visit Roza e Mubarak and offering salam to our Beloved Prophet MUHAMMAD PBUH.also worked with Saudi,Indian,Bengali,Egyptian,Sudanese,Yemenis etc.They were all friendly and Loving Specially the Saudi.:-)

I have said it before that only good experience and peace which our people found in KSA was presence of holy places over there and ability to perform umrah and hajj easily and beside that never heard anything positive. Umrah and hajj is actually business for Arabs . Workers should not be treated like slaves and Arabs should blame themselves for their own laziness instead of disrespecting work force

Turkey, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Kyrgystan, Turkmenistan, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Romania, Hungary, Norway (Svalbard), Finland, Estonia, UK, Gran Canarias, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Faroe Islands, Belgium (Wallonia region), Japan, Nepal, Bhutan, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Palau, Tokelau, Tahiti, New Zeland, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Canada, and Mexico. Greenland, if that counts here (it is under Danish crown), Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Israel, Jordan, and both Russian part of the Arctic and Southern Antarctic Islands.

Most of these visits have been to arrange those 'daring' documentaries that you see TV.

Never really had the time to see the urban tourist centres in most of these countries.
