honestly, at first it was alright, to live in al khor, our old villa was near all the grocery stores, walking distance. then they trasfered us to the farthest villa, very very far, the truth is, its the end of the road, if u happened to go to al khor, just follow the main road, when u reach the dead end, thats where i live right now. they trasfered us here because they gave our old villa to couple who have cars and all. as fro buying bikes, its very very dangerous, i will not think about it. RTA? and girls are not allowed to ride bikes here.
