"Let's Keep in Touch"

“Let’s keep in touch.” I have heard the previous saying many times in my life; HOWEVER, not all of my friends that I met have applied this quotation in the real life. In the United States, I have been meeting new friends from different countries around the world, YET the American ones are the most likely to keep their words and contact me constantly. It does not mean that people from other countries do not contact or keep in touch with their friends since friendship is a very huge word that contains lots of meanings.

ACTUALLY, I cannot count how many friends I have made since I got here, but there are a lot. One of my American friends that I met accidentally is Chris. He knew my Saudi friends at first; THEREAFTER, I met him in my dormitory’s cafeteria. I can clearly recall that he said, “let’s keep in touch”, and he literally has kept in touch with my friends and me. We have been doing lots of activities recently. LIKE Chris, there are many other Americans who I met and I try to be in touch with them in different ways, such as meeting them, and contacting them via Facebook.

In Saudi Arabia, people are friendly, BUT they do not make friends easily SINCE most Saudis have fears of enrolling in random friendships. IN FACT, Islam does obligate Muslims to make new friends and gain variety of knowledge from all over the world.
