kingdom of Saudi Arabia..what do you know?

Hi everybody !

Just one question I am eager to know the answer..

What do you know aboutSaudi Arabia ?


about the place..its people and so on .

please your true responses not the others!

Yours,
Green Utopia

Seeking for knowledge is an endless process

Above at all for me it's sacred country, where I turn to during worship.

I am so glad really of your remarkable comment . I live in the sacred city Makkah..and the Ka'ba is so near to us..

If you think of visiting Saudi Arabia I really wish to see you Ravana

Loads of love,
Green Utopia

Oh, Great thanks. Inshaallah!
besides, I know that every muslim is under an obligation to visit there once. But that crowd I watch during HAJJ still stop me to do it.
Utopia, I wonder d'you wear hijab? (you're female, aren't you?)
I have problem with it. I can't give up the way wearing I got used to.

One of my best friend's just gone to Saudi. It pisses me off because every time she goes:
a) there are only so many people left in this country who are willing to take my crap
b) she tells me what a really great, kickass time she's having [without me!! is it possible???] and how much she LOVEs the place, and passes around holiday pics.

So apparently: it's a reeeeaaaallly great place. But without ME there must be a limit as to just how great it really is. :p :D

Or maybe my absence is what makes it such a great country? :p

LOL Yes, there's a law there that Faye may not enter and spoil their non-Faye fun. :D

Utopia,
I really know nothing about Saudi Arabia. A boy I admired but didn't know very well moved there in 2nd grade. (He said he'd come back in 5th, but he never did. :() Other than that, I only know how to find it on a world map, and that Islam is the national religion.

Actually, when you joined, I tried to find information about your country online, because I realized how little I knew. But so much of what I found was only about politics and violence, and very politically biased, that I got frustrated and stopped looking. :( Do you know any sites that have information just about Saudi Arabia's culture and people? I would be really interested in learning more about that. :)

try this Em, this is Encarta Encyclopedia. i must read it now too!

EDIT: Arghhh, i apologize for the pop-ups

Cool, thanks VB! I'll look at it when I manage to pull myself away from the forum. :D (And I have a pop-up blocker. :p Mya-ha-ha)

Hey, so is ravana a girl?

Saudi Arabia... I don't know much about it I must say... when I think of it I think of:
the sound of arabic language and the writing
desert/sand
petrol
uh yes...women wearing that 'veil' thing
...and all those sort of exotic stuff related to the word 'arabian' (bellydancing, mysterious stories... )

Oh, and I couldnt help noticing that arabic girls are so beautiful... There are quite a lot of arabic (or anyway, from that area in general) living here, and the girls have such beautiful features and big deep eyes... And when I see tv from 'arabic countries' (if I watch satellite tv I get a lot of those), the women have alwyas such beautiful faces... I'm envious! ;)

It's getting funny. Who else thought me a guy?
Honestly, Koa, I also had no idea about your sex. But now I've paid attention to your avatar, there's a flower. What shall I think?

I knew you were a girl. You have such a pretty ID name. :D

I read your link, VB -- well, I still have about a page and a half to go -- and I feel much more informed now. Hooray. :D

Think what you want, I generally hate flowers apart from that one :D
And as stated elsewhere I'm a girl too :)

Btw ravana, was Azerbaijan in the Soviet Union, or am I wrong? If it was, can you speak Russian? Just curious! :)

Unfortunately it was. My Russian is excellent. Though I left Azerbaijan school. I had to read most of world literature in Russian. Here's still plenty of Russian schools and still many azerbaijanians who can't speak native Azerbaijan turkish as properly.

PS. I know arabic else, but a little. Learned it in order to read Koran in original.

Oh, Koa, I right now recollected the thread about Anna Akhmatova. Did I guess your curiousity? If you need anything I'll be glad to help.

Em, thanks for a compliment. Because it's not just ID, it's my real name as well. But perhaps you already know, I posted about it.

Oh, oops I forgot. :D Well, it's very pretty.
