Today I introduced Steemit to The House of Sabah (The ruling family of Kuwait)
It was a normal, hard-working day. After meeting countless of listeners I ran into members of the House of al Sabah. I didn't know until now that this is the ruling family in Kuwait.
Our encounter was cool. I cannot write more details because I want to respect my client's privacy. What I can tell is that my new friend was with his uncle who just got a foot massage while his nephew was waiting outside. We told each other stories while the uncle enjoyed the treatment with a satisfied look on his face.
I explained Steemit and gave him a flyer. After half an hour the uncle came out and I was introducing myself properly, holding my hand towards him. From his reaction, a soft slap together with a slight sigh on the inside of my fingers, I knew that this was not appropriate in his culture. He wasn't angry or anything though. Royals.. ;D
We said good bye to each other and the nephew thanked me with a 2-digit note for my services.
I'm honored and wish the whole family a long and happy life.
Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah
Emir of Kuwait

Thank you, this is the first time a project picked my post.
Did you have the flyers printed yourself? Can you show me one?
Yeah, check the small text at the bottom:
as far as I know, in that culture men do not shake hands with women, but they do with men.
I see. It was just my tought. Just a detail I will likely never find out for sure.
