Trip to Mecca 10/1/09

With Malcolm' sister's, Ella, money he used the money to go to Mecca to make the Hajj trip. Before he could go though he had to get permission from a man named Dr. Mahmoud Shawarbi because the airport would not let him go without his signature. During his trip to Dr. Shawarbi's house he was told by him to visit his son's house and a man who had written a book on him. When Malcolm got on the airplane he sat next to two people who were also going to his destinations. Before getting to Mecca, though, he and one of his new friends went around and small town and felt welcomed by everybody. This makes me wonder how people in different countries react differently than some in other countries, for example, in a store over there Malcolm describes that the people were nice even when they didn't buy anything, but here in America people react in a very negative way.
