On Monday 7/9 I met with Samer, Ahmad, and Amr! Awesome group. Samer and Amr are both from Saudi Arabia, and noticeably have a much higher level of English than Ahmad who is from Kuwait (though there origin may be an unrelated factor). Ahmad is a business major, Amr is involved in media arts, and Samer, as previously stated is interested in Special Ed. 


We got into an amazing discussion...in fact we were together for almost 3 hours. For the first half hour we were just warming up with small talk. Then we started to discuss religion a bit, with a focus on the Islamic religion since they are all Muslim. The conversation of the prophets/messengers led to a discussion about the disciplines, which led to a discussion of dietary restrictions. Anyone who knows me even a little, knows that when it comes to nutrition/dietetics, especially regarding ancient traditions...I can talk all day! We talked about Leviticus, avoidance of swine, vegetarianism, raw plant foods. the food chain, and even the cessation of intake and excretion through meditational practices (though this was a hard pill to "swallow" for Amr). I showed them a couple of videos of some super yogis (again, Amr wasn't buying it! : )

Amr later shared with me his talented musical productions (he is an amazing singer, producer, songwriter)! This led to a great discussion in our next meeting...
