I probably wouldn't mind a cold climate so much....ofcourse I live in Florida and no not of what I speak. But I would have a really hard time living in a country that didn't speak English. I would feel very frustrated.

Anywhere it was always cold, or anywhere I had to stay when it was very cold. It's taken me 20 years to get used to the British winter and that's about my limit.

If you would live in Saudi-Arabia, you would be put in a Western zone, in which you can live as you do now tkdlady. However, outside of those zones, you simply would have to abide by Saudi law. And that may well include a law that states that women are not allowed to drive cars.

You know...people think those are all bad....when the truth is it would almost be a blessing. You could go get groceries or go shopping without having to do your hair and makeup or worry what you are going to wear. I think they are convenient. I wish the Baptists would go there..........

Careful. Wearing a burka will get you arrested here in two years time. Another reason for the Baptists not to accept burka's.
