#1 Lol - this is a scream. When I went to Saudi the last time in 2000 the 'Net Cafes were just starting. It took me more than 3 months to get my own working connection from my apartment, so I came to know the Cafe game as played there. 50SR / hour (that's about $13.25USD) and slower than turtles stampeding through peanut butter. Filtered so heavily I couldn't even get to American Express to see my billing statement. But full and unfettered access to the Yahoo Chat world - where the asshats play.

Think I would have more fun sticking my head in boiling water than doing anything in Riyadh . Thinking about it , I dont think I could access Al-bbc at the time .
