          I wouldn't bother. Rates are crap compared to the UK cos it's chock full of Indians who will do the job for half the price, and it's not a cheap place to live. There also have terrible problems with late payment, it's a way of life, and the roads are pretty dangerous (think 1st or 2nd highest rate of fatal accidents in the world...)
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Not sure if its still like it but a friend of mine worked there for 10 years and he said if a saudi person runs into your car it will be your fault as they believe the accident would not have happened if you had not been in their country
