I volunteered for a conversation program and have been paired with a Saudi male. What to expect?

Question

What should I expect from this lowlife? Should I just quit in advance?

Answer 1

Just because you are paired with a male from Saudi doesn't mean he is will be the stereo type we all hear of.  Give him a chance, maybe he is thinking the same thing of you.  Just because he was born there does not mean his beliefs are as the majority of that area, there are many who are not happy with their situations.  Also keep in mind that this could be a learning experience for both of you.

The beliefs that the majority of Saudi's have are a cultural thing, it is a way of life, the only life they know.  Like I said this could be a new understanding for him and you, just sit back and see what happens, and don't prejudge.
