Just talked to 2 Saudi students

[ErikJ]

We talked about the revolutions and they said each citizen was recently given $5000 and as students they get everything paid for and $180 a month spending money. They didnt speak English very well so it was a bit difficult to communicate. They have Facebook and Twitter and they said there is some talk of revolution but as long as they keep getting checks theyre satisfied for now.

4. The Arab Spring is causing some dictatorships to be a little looser with their vast fortunes.

They want their heads to remain attached to their necks.
