Mobile phones are capable of providing visual communication, and the chat programs on these phones have become the center of the lives of some youngsters seeking romantic relations. The pleasure many of these young people feel while meeting online with another person often turns into an addictive behavior. Many get addicted to aimless calls based on imagination and delusion, which entail consequences in this life and the hereafter. http://www.arabnews.com/when-amorous-calls-become-addiction

Nader al-Mutairi stiffened his shoulders, clenched his fists and said: Let's do our mission. Then the young man stepped into the cool, empty lobby of a dental clinic, intent on getting the phone number of one of the young women working as a receptionist. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ef9_1211250071

The swarming in approach and signage http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2e2_1223832590

The case was reported on a Saudi Arabian news site as an example of the "strife" the social networking site is causing in the Islamic nation. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fc2_1235689949

A fantastic dance sequence! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bce_1303737178

I do believe that is called... singing... as I didn't see any dancing. Cool Since the singer was Omani (by headcovering and dishdasha), surely from the Buraimi area based on the style, I suspect that those in the white headcoverings are Emirati and not Saudi.

That is surely a traditional war chant and it must have been pretty nerve-wracking to hear that wafting over the dunes as you waited for an attack.

While sitting on a bench outside of Faisaliah Mall one night waiting for our driver, my friend and I noticed carloads of young men driving past us over and over again. One guy was even holding up a piece of paper with his phone number on it. We laughed, but the young Saudi women were not laughing...they had their cell phones out and were ready to get their text on!

It's very similar to the some African pre-war songs. It's amazing how geographically close countries have their cultures merge into one another.

It would appear that there is no such thing as dating in Saudi-Arabia. http://blueabaya.blogspot.ca/2011/02/dating-saudi-way.html

Thumb dancing transcript:
GIRLS: Whoa! Hey! Whoa! http://www.marketplace.org/topics/world/middle-east-work/saudi-boy-meets-girl-bluetooth .

The most annoying method of Saudi boys looking for girls is by dialing random mobile numbers and hoping to get a female voice on the other end. http://undertheabaya.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/saudi-dating-scene/
