thehalalpeniswhisperer asked: I really enjoy your blog, and came it across it from Ahmad's blog (kosmosis). Your experiences are fascinating, and I'm also quite interested in teaching in some capacity for a portion of my life.

Thank you for the compliment. It’s so cool that you found my blog and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my ramblings.

Its’ so easy to teach English language abroad. If you want any advice or information I’d be more than happy to help you in whatever way I can.

thehalalpeniswhisperer asked: I really am fascinated by the Indus Valley civilization. I'd like to travel back to probably 1800-1500 BC, be able to decipher their written language, and find out precisely what it was that caused their civilization to suddenly disappear.

That’s actually a pretty great answer. The little I’ve read about the Indus Valley civilization has fascinated me. I’ve thought what it could have been that led them to vanish… It’s a mystery for the ages.

thehalalpeniswhisperer asked: While on the subject of life in Saudi, do these rules apply to non-Muslim diasporas as well? I was under the impression that there are sizable minorities from the subcontinent and elsewhere who work in Saudi, but didn't know if those women also have to wear abaya.

The abaya is a must for all women. They have to wear black ones. There’s no way around it if they want to go out in public. If the religious police see them in public without an abaya on I believe they can get arrested. The hijab.niqab is optional but the hijab, at least, is strongly recommended for Muslim women in public.

Minorities from other Arab countries, South Asia, Far East Asia, and Western countries actually make up a huge minority as a whole - as much as 30% of the population by some estimates.
