She shared 3 major things that are considered normal in Saudi, but not that normal in America:

1. The elderly in Saudi are usually taken care of by their families, whereas in America they are taken to elderly houses.

2. Whenever someone is going through a financial crisis, Saudi families usually pitch in to help them, whereas in America it doesn’t happen as much.

3. If you’re going to a cafe in Saudi Arabia and you needed to leave your stuff to use the restroom or something of the sort, you can rest assured that you’ll come back to find them as they were, whereas if you did the same thing in America you might lose your belongings for good.
