International Hog Driver,
Ahhhh yessss. Those were the days. When driving to work meant laughing your t*ts off instead of fearing for you life on Sheikh Z Road.

I wouldn't want to comment in detail on the Provident fund because it has many variations (i.e you have some control over how your money is invested). I can tell you though, that after several years here, i have less in it than has been contributed. You must allow for the fact that the company puts in 12% or something like that. So i am ahead technically, but as i said, the value is less than the contributions to date. I can also add that some longer term contributors have confided that they are down around 30% over the last couple of years. 30% representing around 100K US apparently. These are guys who have been here in excess of 10 years already. So that should give you an idea of how we are looking.
