A few nights ago we ate out with another married couple and two single guys. Upon leaving the restaurant we were standing outside next to some Saudi families who were about to go and eat. As is our custom, my friend’s wife turned to kiss one of the single guys goodbye when she stopped suddenly because a couple of Saudi chaps were watching with interest.
She said, “God, I nearly forgot that I cannot kiss you in public!”
I intervened and said “It’s alright, I can do it on your behalf.”
I put my arms around the guy and kissed him on both cheeks. Nobody seemed bothered in the slightest.
In the UK of course, it would have been the other way around.
:D .. Maaan that was funny !
ReplyDeleteIn the US, sometimes I feel embarressed when I meet one of my saudi friends cuz I'll have to kiss him in public! The other way around, If I meet a Saudi women in the US, I keep my arms beside my body and try to figure out in a few seconds weather she is okey with shaking hands or not!!
