Baldwin in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
17 October 2007 by Elmer W. Cagape
After stints in Taiwan and Singapore, Baldwin Baldos is working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the past five months. His current jobsite is at Riyadh International Airport's CCTV security systems under the supervision of Rajab and Silsilah agency.
His current challenge is that apart from the five times break for Islamic prayers, the timezone becomes more difficult for him to contact his wife and kids.
He works in a multicultural environment where fellow Filipinos, Syrians, Egyptians, Indonesians, Sudanese, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indians coexist in one working environment. He finds the Sudanese as the most gentle people to work with, while Pakistanis are trustworthy folks in the field of construction and Indians naturally belong to the computer-related jobs.
Since the law is strictly implemented, he finds life boring and his means of connection to the world remains his telephone and the Internet. He is also glad that he gets to find time to pray during off work. Mabuhay ka Baldwin!
