I have none of those habits.. I never quote currency in rupees over here nor in riyals when back home.. Even in the US, I quoted currency in dollars from day one and never said riyal even once during my one month stay.. I never use any Arabic words like Shukran or yaani or whatever.. I never use B instead of P and even now when someone says something like Bebsi or Bobcorn, I stare at them with a bewildred look. In 32 years, I am not in the least bit affected by the culture here.. What does it mean I wonder? I don't go to malls every weekend.. In fact I prefer to do my groceries once a week from the nearest place possible.. I do not go to the malls unless and until I really need to buy something or if I want to go and watch a movie. What does it mean that eventhough I have been here 32 years, it is still not enough?
