Hi there,

Nice to meet you Carol. My life is the quite opposite. I’m a young Saudi who lived most of her live in the West (United States) and at the end of her journey had to reside in Saudi. I’m still a college student, and more outlook on life to see and learn.

Salamz,

Although I do not understand the genesis of your question Stephanie, I can tell you that I am legally in the Kingdom. Whether the police specifically know I am in the Kingdom I can’t answer that and do not understand your question to that effect. My blog is certainly not a secret and quite public, otherwise you and everyone else would not be able to access it and the many other Saudi blogs cited on my blogroll.

In regards to women and covering, I suggest you do searches in the search bar on the word “cover” and you’ll find multiple posts which address this topic. There is no “one-size-fits-all” response for the question on whether most women look forward to covering or dread it; it is a case-by-case issue and of course depends on each individual woman and her cultural background, religious beliefs and preferences.

And in turn, especially in the Kingdom where modesty is a way of life, I certainly respect those who follow such practices. Bear in mind, if one is on a western compound how much one chooses to cover is usually very optional.

Welcome to the blog,
Carol

Just curious if the Saudi police know that you are in the Kingdom and have this blog website? I presume not. How do you feel about the woman having to cover their entire body? Do most woman look forward to this or is it something dreaded?

Sincerely,

Stephanie

Carol,
Can I get the e-mail of the man you posed a story on about marriage to a Saudi woman. I am an American living in Kuwait and I am also married to a Saudi woman. I would like to talk to him.
