On Sunday, January 19th, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m., Ahmad and I met at Barnes and Noble to drink coffee and browse for books. Since he'd been kind enough to pay for my lunch the last time we met, I suggesting paying for his coffee, and he gratefully accepted my offer.
During our meeting, we discussed Saudi Arabia, primarily. He told me that there were very few homeless people in his country, and explained that it made him sad to see people begging for money here in the United States.
We also discussed the political situation in Saudi Arabia, and Ahmad expressed hopes for the continued liberalization of his country. Before we left, he purchased a book on computer science, and thanked me for being a "good listener."
