2. Universities in Saudi Arabia were less time consumingfor me
because it is where Im from. 3. Here at UCF, every task takes
longer because ofEnglish being my second language. 4. Women in
Saudi Arabia attend their own universities from men. 5. At UCF, it
is interesting to attend class with women. At first, it wasexciting
because it was different than back home. Now, Imcomfortable with
attending class with women. 6. Aspects of American university such
as cheerleading areexciting because of being very new and different
as well asfor cheering on the university teams. 7. Saudi Arabia is
a very different picture. They are veryexcited for their university
for women. 8. In Saudi Arabia, it is difficult to get a job. So I
came to America toget the higher education experience to be able to
get a job moreeasily than if I hadnt. 9. In Saudi Arabia, it is

need andthen leaving. 11. Black Friday is a good example of how
Americans tend to shop justto shop. 12. In Saudi Arabia, the malls
are an all day thing. There is as much ifnot more socializing than
shopping when we go to the mall. 13. In America, I enjoy having the
female servers though I am still not used topaying tips. It tends
to keep me resisting expensive places. 14. I miss the fresh taste
of food in Saudi Arabia and the kind of food. Ihavent found a place
in America so far that does our food justice. 15. Enjoying good
food and good company. 16. Alcohol is the biggest difference
between America and Saudi Arabia.I dont have an interest in
drinking but sometimes it is amusing towatch others. Though
unfortunately my friends and I have had tobreak up fights at our
favorite hookah bar in America. 17. Instead of bars in Saudi
Arabia, there are hookah lounges.There is no alcohol. 18. Makah is
the most important city for the Muslim religion.Everyone needs to
travel to Makah at least once in theirlifetime. 19. I was first
worried about coming to America because of culturalignorance. I was
very pleased to never have had a problem andeveryone I have met has
always been friendly and notjudgmental. 20. Despite the outer
cultural differences ( the clothing, the socialstructure, etc),
people are people, There are good and bad peopleeverywhere. Polite
and rude. It is nice to know there are polite peopleevery where. It
makes traveling out of Saudi Arabia enjoyable.
