ATD, ABD and AFD are currently living in Manila, Philippines. We have so far lived in Riyadh, Osaka, Hanoi, Bucharest and Manila. Our joint journeys begun when we met each other on an early Sunday morning in Adelaide where ATD was living at the time and ABD was travelling through.

In 2001 2 became 3 with the arrival of our little ray of sun, our son-shine Agonda. ... full info

what can I say, we don't know the Al Saud family tree inside and out.
