Today was a great saturday...was joining my other members to help guide the Abu Dhabi exchange students around NTU.....
There were 13 of them..They were from UAE...they are here to study English for 9 months.and mind u they are teachers beb...future teachers.....on Friday, after showing them around their accomodation..they were quite culture shocked to see our place...They were from a rich country living in vilas SO That explains the shocked..
On saturday...we started with bringing them to the bank to open an account followed by breakfast..during breakfast we had fun time chatting...a few stuff Interesting stuff we learnt during the chat haha..firstly about the culture of marrying four u cant imagine some of their dads has as many as 8 wives but of course had to divorced four to make it four.......they are quite frenly however it is quite difficult to communicate cos of language barriers.....
another interesting incident was in the bank when one student was rubbing his nose against their professor nose...we were shocked of course....we laughed and realising that we were shocked by their action...the professor explained to us that it is their culture of greeting each other..cute isnt it....arab culture seems more interesting than us ....
and another finding was we were told that in their country there are not many or maybe no motorbikes..everyone uses cars and their cars are not the normal honda, toyota...even their taxis used porche....u can imagine how rich the country is....
we brought them around NTU for the whole day including bringing them to JP but I did not join them to JP...
another shocking news hehehe the prof was young beb he was 28 but we thought he was 40 hehehe...Asians looks much younger than middle eastern...dats cool ::P
All the bez "shebab" an arab word for guyz...
How I wished I knew Arab language sigh....
