It took two years, but I have finally had my first negative experience with a Saudi. In the store today a guy came up to me smiling with his wife or sister and asking where I was from. The normal way all Saudis start a conversation with me, but then he asked if I was a Muslim. Red alerts flash as this is not normal. I say no anyway. So he spits in my face. Still not bad for two years here. For comparison, I was only in Russia two weeks before being robbed and in a fistfight. Truly a shame that there are bad and ignorant people everywhere.
Getting spit on by a Muslim just confirms my long held belief that being religious does not make you a better person. Muslim, Christian, Catholic, Jew, Buddhist, or Atheist. All have bad and good people. Religion means absolutely nothing and is more of a problem than benefit to the world. Being spiritual is good, but being religious is stupid.
A fine gentlemen, somewhat of a writer had been wishing to share his adventures and life experiences with any who cared to give him an ear, so he created this site. He will try his best to take you on entertaining journeys with pictures and the written word. From trips of today to trips years past, and possibly some of the future if it be in his power, and budget.
