the examiner fisatlimyiSoptornbor 1977 By HOPE DEMPSEY Examiner Staff Reporter Learning how people in dif ferent parts of the world live can be an interesting ex perience as Bell Canada repairman Bill Doherty of Barrie fotiiid out Doherty recently returned from spending three and half months in Saudi Arabia lie was one of five members from Simcoe County who represented Bell Canada worked for ARAMCU an AmericanArabian oil Evan thotigh Doherty had done some back grouiid read ing before he went he wasnt prepared for the vast cultural difference One of the first things he had to get used to was tlte weekents in Saudi Arabia The weekend there is Thurs day and Friday SIX DAY WEEK We worked six days week to hours day from am to pm It gets dark so early there about 330 iii company which hired 17 And theres is nothing men frotn Bell anada to tiiticlt to do after work he work and train their said Alcohol is against the employees law in Saudi Arabia If you worked at test centre where repair calls would come in We Worked in the are caught drinking yott get six months injail Doherty found lot of the main telephone dispatching Arabian customs different building testing lines and from North American and were also sent otit to do hardtogetiisedto repairs The government in Saudi Our job was to help run Arabia is dictatorship the comintinications and therefore the lives of the pen telephone company The ple are run by the govern money was good aitd meiit Wotiieii are kept at thought the experience would home until they are ready to be worth it so marry then marriage is ar olunteered for them said ranged faf pt rnout of his stimmc Lipzfi Visit to Saudi Arabia was culture shock Doherty Wives are bought from the fathers man in Saudi Arabia can have up to four wives The women wear black robes and veils and are not allowed to drive cars Its against the law he said AOMMUDAIIUN Living accommodatiott aiitl food were provided for the men while in Saudi Arabia We lived in camp out side of the city said Doher ty The food was all American attd there was recreation rooiit where we could play ping pong and pool The oil company has television station but the government allows no adver tising on it There are fottr radio stations in Saudi Arabia btit everything goes off the air about 1030 pm except on weekends There is also weekly newspaper very rarely heard anthing about North America while was there said Doherty We could btiy European newspapers in in Saudi Arabia working to ylad to ho back in aiiatlatljxatnincr Photo English but none from the United States EXTREME llEAl Doherty found the extreme heat hard to take sometimes It was so hot the whole time was there says Doherty It was over 100 degrees everyday and so htunid It was so humid the Windshields would fog and so would my glasses We went swimming on our days off and the ocean was about 85 degrees The laws there are really something else says Doher ty Execution is used as pttiiishinciit for crimes If person gets caught stealing he gets his hand ciit off If you happened to be drunk and kill someone while driving youd be executed If youre caught with any drugs the penalty is 15 years in jail and no parole says Doherty As result the crime rate in Saudi Arabia is low STRONG RELIGION Doherty found people in Saudi Arabia to be very religious The religion there is Moslcm and he would often see people parked at the side of the road praying They are required to pray six times day Visitors to Saudi Arabia are not allowed to take pictures of the temples or mosques or the women The people there are lazy says Doherty We were brought over there to train the men and they werent really in terested in learning Where we do about eight to ten repairs day they would do three It was very frustrating sometimes LUIUFHUIJI Most people in Saudi Arabia work tor the oil com pany But there are lot of merchants too Itobcrty said There IS lot of gold there and its cheaper than here There is so much oil there that
