I met with Abdullah today to watch Zootopia the movie at AMC theater. Before the movie started, we had some time to talk more about his culture and his hometown in Saudi Arabia. He mentioned that he lives quite far from his hometown, since his job is in the north-eastern area, while his home is in the south-western area.
One amazing fact that I learned about Saudi Arabian culture was that if someone is invited to your house, you must prepare a WHOLE SHEEP. You must go to a animal/live stock shop and buy a sheep, then take that sheep to a restaurant that will butcher it and cook the food in the traditional dish form. This is much different than my Korean culture, where I was taught that if I am invited to a house for food, I must bring some kind of present, usually dessert or fruits or wine.
