American female student falls in love with Saudi Culture

[livingdead]

You see it happens. When we see different cultures we fall in love with it. We see it as a rare because back home we don't have this luxury.

I believe every culture is lovable in its own way. I can fall in love with almost every culture in the world.

yeah.. every culture is unique. I like arabic food, their women look sexy to me (dont like thin iranis or turks )... also like sheesha..

I don't think you are qualified enough to judge her, especially when your starving family came here to survive living on us, yet, you had the audacity to run your loud mouth

I LOVE THE CUISINE OF THE SUBCONTINENT

You love the diluted* stuff you find in saudi? I don't think you get the real deal there

If you bother reading what he wrote, you'd have seen the comments that I made were equal to his. We don't expect people to like us or dislike us, we respect those who respect themselves.

Hah everything is here my fellow ..

Since I happen to be interested in Pakistan, I came across lots of simililarities between both cultures.
Culture of Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well,Arab has a powerful culture,beautiful heritage and brilliant constructions in past and present.Arab was one of those nations who enjoyed ruling almost 3/4 area of World,brilliantly.
If anyone tries to study Arabs in neutral manner,with clear heart will definitely fall in Love with Arabs.
Attempts such as demonizing Arabs and middle east will not change the fact.

Fools fall in love with cultures.

Intelligent people put those fools to good use.

Bah, she's a female what do you expect! But I don't think admiring someone else's culture is unwise, don't you think?

 

[Awesome]

I would understand Arab culture. But if you're going to be specific, for a westerner, it would have to be Emirati culture (amongst gulf Arabs).

Saudi Arabia's Burkha requirement is a big no no for even (most) Pakistani girls.

Females aren't obligated to wear Burkha, it's up to them to decide, I can pull tons of videos to show you..

Is there any website with the relevant documented Saudi Law on this matter? In UAE, a lot of Arab girls (non-Emirati) wear Hijab and modest jeans.

Emiratis wear Abaya, but not always cover their heads. Abaya is sort of a fashion thing for them or more correctly it is a cultural thing. Not really religious.

There is no single Arab or Saudi culture. Both, especially the first for obvious reasons is extremely diverse depending on the region, geography, history, dialects, traditions, sect, culture etc. Likewise in KSA just in a smaller scale since there are also historical differences depending on the region ranging from geography, dialect, sect, history, culture, tradition etc.

UAE has no real seperate culture aside from being part of Eastern Arabia. They are not much different than the average Saudi Arabian living in the Southern parts of the Eastern Province alongside the Gulf or Qatar for that matter. All regions that were once part of the ancient Dilmun civilization, the Greater Bahrain region and later Eastern Arabia.

Besides no Arabs wear Burqa. That is an Afghan thing. You must be referring to the Niqab.

Regarding the topic then good for her.

Sir,

The State can't dictate what should the Saudi people wear or what they shouldn't, the only thing they ask for s to comply with our codes of conducts, social norms, and values.

Where there are differences, there are similarities too. Arabs are very particular about greetings, they are almost always first to give Salam. Their hospitality is always quite generous when you're invited to their homes. When they will praise you, they will go out of their way to sing songs about your greatness. It gives warm and fuzzy feelings.

I think they are politer, have a deeper appreciation of law n order, they are more ambitious, more professional and more tolerant. Not to mention - much safer drivers than Saudis.

What is the Code? Is it documented?

In Sharjah for example they have mandated that shorts should be worn of a certain length. In Saudi I would imagine a woman would be thrown in jail for wearing shorts to begin with.

But in Sharjah this is a documented written law, what is the law in Saudi?

Admiration is not unwise unless it becomes central to your life.People who are high on this cultural admiration thing ( usually page 3 types) are those who are biggest fools.

The fact that they think that constituents of culture like art, architecture and music should arouse some kind of feeling in you is because they have never picked a pencil to draw something nor touched a piano beside playing jingle bells on it.The first lesson in any art class is try to make 24 shades of grey using single 6B pencil after that it is months of doing the same thing.Same is that for playing piano and carving stone. It is a grueling mechanical work which is hidden behind any cultural artifact, no different from repairing a broken car or operating lathe.

Same is with religious and social component of culture.

It is beyond me as to why someone would want to live in distant disease infested past. Contemporary age is the best one for living.
