-LIFE IN TWO COUNTRIES-

In my life ,I lived in Saudi Arabia for eleven years because of my father’s work.He has worked there as a barber since he was young.Living in Saudi Arabia ,I have an opportunity to know about a new country.When I came back Turkey,I couldn’t help comparing and contrasting Saudi Arabia and my own country ,Turkey.
There are some reasons why these two countries are similar to each other.First of all,like Turkey ,Saudi Arabia has lots of seasides.Secondly,both countries are striking and beatiful.For example,there are huge buildings which have colourful lights,big shopping centers so each has tourists from everywhere.Furthermore ,the capital of these two countries have skyscrapers in which you can see the whole city.
Despite ,their similarities ,these two countries are different.Firstly, As Turkey is governed by democracy ,Saudi Arabia is governed by kingdom.Secondly ,In Saudi Arabia people start to work at night so shops open at 18:00 o’clock because Saudi Arabia has a very hot weather in the morning or in the afternoon so people can’t work at that times.In Turkey ,people open their shops in the morning.Thirdly , Arabic people’s skin are darker than Turkish people’s skin.It is again because of the hot weather.In addition, Saudi Arabia has oil resources so Arabics are rich people but in Turkey people’s economic situation is changeable.Next reason,Arabic people’s religion is so harsh that women can’t go out without headscarves.There is a really good example of their hard religious.When l went there for the first time,I went shopping with my mother and my sister.Suddenly a man who was responsible for the religion came to near us.He asked us why our hair was open and took us to the prison.Fortunately,my father came and solved the problem.After that we didn’t go outside again without our headscarves.In Turkey,we can see lots of women who are free enough to go out without headscarves.
In conclusion, I love both of countries.Saudi Arabia is very different for me because life conditions are different such as going out with headscarves,having hard punishments,starting life at night but I used to live there.I advise everybody to go Saudi Arabia.
