Yanbu Kids Pt. 1/3

In November 2004, I had the opportunity to gather some friends from Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, many who I hadn't seen in 15 years, to participate in a major class project for Cal State Northridge. We recorded LIVE to tape in the Larry King Studio at CNN in Los Angeles. My project consisted of a quick hour studio set-up with fellow class members and our Yanbu guests, and a half-hour live to tape production-- no start-overs! Please enjoy part 1/3 of the project.

@Majormockery151 thanks! I like hearing your thoughts: I lived there during two different time periods: late 80s, early 90s. each decade was different. Yanbu has changed a lot!

Crazy seeing this!  I went to ISS (I think that was the school's name . . .) from 1983 - 1988. Yanbu was definitely an experience - I appreciated being able to travel the world while living there more than I appreciated living there. It was not all fun, and I had more than a few bad memories of treatment by the locals.

@dbeckwith1717 Glad you found it! I lived there from '87-93. We changed schools in '92 and I ((think)) they changed the name to YIS at that time. Yanbu has a lot of good memories for me too, yes, with some bad as well. I miss the travel, I miss the town, and mostly: the people - such a tight knit group of friends and families.
