Preparition, during the interview and country report

My interviewee was Faisal. It was an easy and perfect interview because Faisal is a good speaker and we were so relaxed because we already know each other before. When I ask questions Faisal was answering them very comfortable. He gave me examples for every other question so that his thoughts were really clear to understand. Was a nice experience for me to learn about Arabic culture.  As I said I knew him before this class, but I learned something about him when I ask my eleventh question, because it was about secrets. So, that was a nice conversation to know him better.  
   
 Saudi Arabia is a huge country  and the center of Muslim religion. The reason of that is Muslim religion born in Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Arabia is a rich country because they have the most oil reserve in the world.  The king of Saudi Arabia for now is King Abdullah and the population is 27 million. All of the population is Muslim in this country. As I said they are directed with kingdom so if the king dies his brother or son become king. The capital of Saudi Arabia is Riyadh. They gained their independency 23 September 1932 and this date is their national day at the same time. They have 10 million of internet users and that means 35 percent of population.  For transportation Arabic people mostly uses cars. There is busses, planes, or other transportation but they like traveling with cars. And Arabic people has to be 18 to get in the military.

First of all, I started prepare my equipments last class before spring break. I made a list that what I need . Then I figured out that I have everything but I don`t have a place to interview. So, when I deal with faisal about the interview I asked our professor to take of 10 minutes for the class. I went  down to the front desk to reserve a room. After everything I needed to print out my questions. So, I asked Faisal to wait me for a while. He was so cool and he really helped me about this issue. After I finished my work I take Faisal to the room I reserved and we started the interview.
