With regard to the article "Kingdom is second home for many expatriates" (May 2), I lived in Jeddah from 2000 to 2013 and experienced that time as the spring of my life. I had a wonderful time with my family and with my friends at school, and we were all part and parcel of the Jeddah community and its throbbing social life. The golden moments I had in Jeddah are in many ways the spiritual force that helps me to lead the rest of my life. Seenath S., Online response
