I do not think there is that thing, that really can define us as who we are. I was at one these parties, Arab kids (mainly ours) threw “Hookah” party. To get people mainly students, to get to know us more often I guess and, smoke Hookah of course.I started to mingle with the rest of the people, eventfully I met one of my own people; Now it’s been a while since I’ve spoke with anyone from my own community, needless to say from other cities within the same country, it went well the conversation that is, but after that I promised to always adherer to the rules of the Saudi student Blues every next time I get to meet my countrymen or women, rarely women girls females.
Funny thing is that, when we approach each others in public as students, we tend to bring that anxiety bubble, especially for male-to-male student, the look, the feelings, the dense air are all to familiar to me. The mind starts to wander right away, is he or is he not… is he one of those, sent to do the unspeakable things we hear about…to me, to us? Funny Thing, though nothing about is actually funny, is that amongst us, it takes one and only, one guy’s opinion, usually out of fear (Nim Nim), to wreck the whole reputation, another one had created for himself, the whole tiny student community; I used the word funny because they actually listen to him. Ok so what kind of things to avoid talking about when among our own kind of Hobbits, the reason I picked talking or sometimes “Chatting”, because its is actually talking with one another that start the whole thing to Roll, its not a gamble don panic as long as you feel like talking just remember to avoid things I mentioned here, some skeptic argues that among “real friends” ( those who left together and got here together) such things never exist nor could happen, meaning everything can be done in the open talking included, Actions as in behavior also counts, but I will just leave it to talking for now, so maybe not so my skeptic friend try bring Shagra and see what’s up then.
So here we can start with talking AvoidByAnyChanceClassics (ABCC) :
1st Religion, never discuss religion just ignore the subject altogether, you pray and remember some Ayat, and Hadith from elementary school, middle, normally by high school you wont remember a thing, if you do?, you my friend in the wrong spot on this planet head back, pretend that you are not part of the conversation, and if asked just answer with whatever he/she said, look around this time if you know more you are extreme, if you know less you are Lost, if you know somehow, you might be good around, it is better that way, they( the majority) will just think you are a retarded its better that way. don’t bring your thing into it just accept what is already been laid down, arguments and fight might occur leave the occident immediately!!.Second internal politics, this part is tougher, actually then the previous one. just believe this fact alone ,avoid at all times, just leave it, leave this subject alone, especially now a days, speaking of anything will land you on both side of risky places with misses and bugs and bad food so watch out.
Third: the funny one and that is tribal pride, here is the thing about anything tribal, if you don’t carry a nice tribal name don’t mention your name at all, there was actually one guy who changed his last name Carlos not in real life just in hangout meetings and stuff. Just avoid tribal busllshit, *especial note* to western region folks is that , in particular you folks carry around the most unusually names, and plus you pretend an accent of that of the capital. They can catch you! Just like a Cairo Taxi driver! Even the palest of them will brag about him self, and his blood line and all that crap, so don’t everyone will laugh at you. Seriously!
I thought I needed to add more, perhaps I will perhaps I wont, but here also some more miscellaneous things to remember, never forget to not mention that you are and, never ever would or could be around females and, males who don’t play football (soccer) every whatever day and, you are never around animals especially dogs, Drinking of all kinds…Pepsi and, Coca-Cola particularly and, when that guy approach with the reversal Coka theory tell him you know all about it, this will save time for both of you. And make sure in your first impression is always use these handy sentences “I eat Halal , I never drink”, and “I Would like to hang out with her”, but not “be with her”, type of thing.
The rules of course do change for female and all, I mean for females they face the dilemma to keep it on or off thing, to smoke or not to smoke, to date him or not, and so on, hey I couldn’t talk then, and I cant tell what do now, so if you made this far here by yourself, you are actually on your own.
