Not much of a surprise, at least to me. Granted, my knowledge of the place is limited, but from what I’ve heard they really care about symbols of status (Fancy watches, jewelry, and, of course, expensive phones). Add that to the fact that kids nowdays aren’t as patriotic (a good thing imo) and the fact that tech literacy is not great either… Well it puts thing in perspective.

You seem to be pretty judgmental of something you admit you know little about.
