[My thoughts]
"I want people in the world to know the 'real' Arab culture."
Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of image do you have when you hear the word Arab?
oil. Islam. desert. oil money.
These are still good images.
"Islamic State," which has been making headlines recently, as well as terrorists, suicide bombers, extremists, claims of responsibility, marches, and jihad are images of the word Arab. It is very unfortunate.
For me,
The first foreigner I became best friends with was a Saudi.
Through him, I learned about "real Arab culture" that is different from the "Arab" and "Islamic" that I learned from textbooks and TV.
And the Middle East and Africa will be visited for the first time.
lived in Sudan, Yemen, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia,
