In my experience, the women in KSA are a bit more with the program than the men are. They are certainly smarter and more friendly. At the booth on the causeway you can even have a bit of banter with the girls occasionally. By comparison the guys often barely speak English and when they do it’s communicated in grunts, which is a good introduction to the interactions you’ll expect to find once you cross the border!
However I accept that things are changing, but if happiness is V1 at Lagos, for me it’s reaching the Bahrain side of the causeway each afternoon, knowing a cold beer is within reach!
