KSA, nice place to visit, hard place to leave

I've been here since last Friday and while KSA is pleasant enough it is a bit boring. Things get exciting when you try to leave.

KKIA (RUH) has all the charm and efficiency of an Indian airport -- like Bangalore. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in India with all the Indians and Bangladesh hanging around the place. Now, admittedly, it is a lot nicer (cleaner, more amenities) but you wouldn't know it from the departures ticket counters. Upstairs, at the gates, it seems more like a modern airport that you expect.

From every direction rise the ecstatic screams of the Damned. Lights flicker on and off as the shadows leap about, wildly flinging themselves from wall to wall. In the midst of intoxicated revelry, some sit calmly, but even their passions struggle to run free. As the cacophony builds, even the staid feel their non-existent pulses race. Here all is abandon. Here anger and fury rule the dark like twin lions, ready for the kill. Here frenzy reigns.
