The photo taken from Dr. Cafe in AlKhobar Saudi.
This is one of the things that are special about our society ... Due to the misuse of some technologies by a minority, individuals feel safer and more respected in places that offer some restrictions about technology use.
If you can't read the sign is simply has three lines :
- thank you for not smoking.
- sorry, Photography prohibited.
- sorry, Bluetooth is prohibited.
many of non-saudis would appreciate the smoking restriction, can relate to the photography restriction but might wonder about the bluetooth use.
This is how it goes: Bluetooth is a technology that allows you to connect two devices wirelessly. While those devices are a mobile phone and a headset or a PDA in the rest of the world, in Saudi those two devices are 2 mobile photos that are used to exchange numbers between two parties, hopefully a guy and a girl, this act is called "targeem" which translate to "numbering" in English. In Saudi Culture it is the equivalant of using a pick up line on a girl.
