I am _not_ from Jeddah, I'm from Dammam. :-)

Its not such a big deal. No harm done except maybe confuse a few of my
family members. However, we should be informed as soon as you learn
you will be interviewed, and if possible we would want to see the
interview/article before it is printed. Not that I have anything
against reporters, but they do make mistakes like anyone else... (I
was interviewed by someone in Morocco and the resulting article was so
full of mistakes I don't even want to link to it here...)

Overall though, this is great news. Being mentioned in such a high
profile newspaper is excellent publicity. The best thing to do would
be for you to retain contact with whoever interviewed you. We will
definitely be needing him/her in the future.

Keep up the good work,

Abdulaziz,
