Now, I'll talk about my home, the warm sands that embraced my existance, the cool breezes of air that wake me up, the wild land that my ancestors tamed.
People from outside the arabic world who haven't been to the Arabian Pensuela devide into 3 types when it comes to their thoughts about Saudia Arabia.
Type A: They think we still live in the desert, riding camels and hunting wild animals,
where battles of honor take place using the sword and shield, and we ride on horses to faraway oasises and take a few drinks of water and continue our epic journey.
Type B: These ones think this is a land of terror and fear, where torrists roam the lands and people will do anything for money, a place where unknown people march through the street with guns to scare their oppoents, and the goverment are overwhelmed by the corruption it can't do anything.
Type C: This one's my personal favorite, the people that think the avreage saudi has 3 billion dollars because of oil, and we're all princes who have hundreds of slaves, we dress in colorful silk and there's people cooling us with large pink feathers while I enjoy my seed free grapes on my extra expensive pillow in my palace of gold.
The fact is, Saudia Arabia is none of the above;
Unlike what 'type A' people think, we have cars, computers, very advanced hospitals, and a lot of technology going on, although we're a little behind, we're still there, and 3rd world is just an insult to our great country, and we have plenty of water, 200,000 leters of water costs 3 dollars here, and the saudi citizen is the third highest citizen in the world when it comes to using water.
And unlike what 'type B' thinks, this nation is one of peace, a few hundred terrorists don't change a thing, and they rarely attack in Saudia Arabia, and corrupted this country is not!, there're corrupted people just like anywhere, but they're invidiuals, and I'd say we have a very low crime rate because Alcohol is forbidden, and drug dealers get the death penalty as they should.
And unlike what 'type C' thinks, I don't stick my finger in the gorund and get oil flowing, oil did infact enrich this country by much, however, it is not to the extent that most people imagine, there's alot of avreage people, making avreage money and living avreage lives, there're rich people, and poor people, like any place else, but the avreage is the avreage because it's what most people are, avreage.
So, as you should have concluded, this place is just lie any other place on earth, there's nothing special about it, it's just our home, sweat sweat home.
