Going to Saudi Arabia and wanted to share email received

Teaching a class next month in SA. These are highlights of email I received today. Class is ultimately sponsored by Saudi government via a small company on a certain issue.
-I can't stay at good hotel because I'm not Muslim but should alert them immediately if I am Muslim so I can stay in better hotel
-a few women will be in class
-people will call me Mr. Chunky, like the South
-Should not speak to women by name, simply nod.
- women will watch screen in separate room and not ask questions
-prayers will take up to 90 mins on several occasions
Just passing on, greatful to be an American. I'm very familiar with this "culture" but this was a bit shocking.

Could not pay me enough money to return to that part of the world.

How long are you going to be over there for? I don't think I would last very long in a creepy place like that. Be careful and watch your 6.

Oh, so similar to the South in 1890...

Don't cross your leg and show the bottom of your foot to a muslim and don't wave/shake with your left hand

I'd lie and tell them you're down with Allah to get that good room, baw. Good luck with all that bullshite.

There were no tvs in 1890

5 days. Leave on Wednesday USA time and leave SA on Sunday.
It's a contract gig i do 2-3 times a year but never before in a place like this. Good amount of money. I'm a little hesitant at this point though

Mr. First name as opposed to last name or some other salutation

Are you trying to get his head sawed off? I'm not against it, but I just want to make sure that's what you're going for.

Stay away from them people.

Laziest MFs on the planet. Plan to not start on time and for half the room to be asleep after lunch.

Yeah place I'm staying looks good enough, like a Holiday Inn vs Four Seasons. Not risking anything being sawed

I'd rather that than have to stay in the "bad hotel" in a Muslim country, even SA.

You're a racist. We need to love Muslims more.
