During my sojourn overseas (the Middle East, to be precise), I had friends from many nations. The Pakistanis I met were generally warm, friendly, hardworking people. The same could not be said for the much wealthier Saudis.

By the way, you can read about another culture all you want, it won't make you an expert or even a novice on how they behave, think, feel or react. Go live with them, interact with them on a daily basis for a few years and then come tell us about it.
