passing winds

In Jeddah seems to be having some Intellectual phenomena movement that is hitting the local “coffee shops”.

Mostly young and privileged and call themselves intellectuals. they seem garner like minded Hijazi privileged people’s interest on to them.

I had the chance to get to sit down with some.
Before dropping by the meeting I kind of had I general idea to what kind of people I will be meeting with.

A group of few guys, some from “well known merchant class” that is still active,

Note-the reason of mentioning that point is that some in Jeddah merchants either hold to a name of a wealthy family that is not active anymore, or that this person could be a distant relative to the a current wealthy family.

On a Friday, right after the Friday prayer, the location to which where we will meet was a place called Andalusia, trendy place is allegedly owned and operated by another well-known young face Ahmed al Shigery.

So we sat down as to try to discuss some issues, the whole point of the meeting I guess was to see how much each unknown person knows about unknown things.
