^ The programme inevitably bought up sooo many issues like the sky high dowry, relgious police, women driving that it did not really have enough time to go into or that noone was ready to talk about. The prince was v. articulate as you said, and am glad he was not apologetic for not being more "western" or even saying that was an desiable end. A v. elitist sociey though, he keeps talking about hearing ppl's voices but the only ppl surrounding him and at his dinner parties are wealthy,upper class men from "big families" and its their voices that will get heard and will ultimately influence govt. policies. btw i love those beautiful tents in the middle of the desert, something out of a film. (peasant ur welcome )

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00fh52m/Inside_the_Saudi_Kingdom/ An hour long but v. interesting look at the life of a Saudi Prince, a governor of a conservative province in Saudi and the life and issues of the ppl that live in there.

well the moral of the story is that Ng is officially a V.I.M. (Ng i think you should show them your certificate, they dnt seem convinced!)

Ng can you PLZ go back in there with your "important certificate" I thought he was bengali, if you ever tell them you work they practically ask for your salary. :rolleyes:
