At college in the US, I saw many students from abroad who seemed to fit in comfortably, being able to find friends and meaningful things to do, and a very few who remained mostly in their room, uptight, critical and distant. These latter were difficult to talk to, as if their real self remained hidden behind a screen or filter of their own 'superior' culture. Did their parents hope that by sending them abroad the experience might open them up, I wondered?

I suspect that the King will be wanting to know if there are any others like him in the Saudi Air Force. His kind of thinking is not looked kindly upon there.
