Any forbidden food items (I know pig products are not allowed).
What kind of presents would make a saudi colleague smile?
What kind of topcis do they want/like to discuss as small talk?
Thanks.
FYI
I`m a simple person who enjoy simple living. I am happy to share my knowledge and ideas, but I do not appreciate aged impolite/immature people.
If you are into debates under influence of intoxication, or just simply sexually frustarted,

A Saudi would be endeared to you forever if you brought
(1) Turki sandwich and onion rings from Kudo.
(2) Smoked goat's or camel's head. |

| A bottle of nice perfume for the ladies, a litre of Johhny Walker Black Label for the men, and something for your lawyer. |

----" and something for your lawyer."-----
You don't normally get to see a lawyer if you're detained on criminal charges. |

Why not use a 'filter', so that un-wanted posters cannot post! |

lawyer???= Why would one need a lawyer??
Perfumes=I dont use, and I dont encourage others to.
Jhonny=I dont drink, same rule applies.
a big kiss= is it common in KSA, I thought only men kiss and hug , women too??
filter= learn to be m polite for your own sakes
(saudis) to be endreared to me= that happens at work place without me doing anything |
