I met Omaima today, she is from Saudi Arabia, and to be honest time flew really fast. We have a lot of things in common even if some patterns of our culture are completely the opposite. I can not even describe how I love learning new detail about a different culture, and Omaima was able to explain a lot of interesting aspects of her country. Her English is super good, so we were able to deal with some challenging experiences that she faces in the United States. Her religion, her physical appearance, her accent and her clothes make her feel different and judged by people. We tried to find some positive options to overcome these challenges, especially in her professional environment as she is a dentist. I really liked the flow of our conversation, and we decided to talk about how women are treated by men in our respective cultures during our next meeting.
