Dubai - Respect for Children
Lived/Worked there back when a Dirham was a Riyal!!!
Had 3 small kids girl 5, boy and girl 2 - ALL Blond, locals were fascinated and great with the kids;
However as I worked Offshore, wife found the little darlings a handful down the Souk - so one day she resurrected the 'reins'!!!
Fortunately I was with her and as we wandered through the Gold Souk I noticed the Tension - at first I thought it was due to the 'Political Situation', the Shah had been flexing his muscles - F-4's over the Tombs etc
Stopped in one of the shops where we we were known, and in the course of the conversation the subject of 'Cruelty to Children' came up - yes Our Cruelty!!!
Needless to say the 'reins' came off, but these were/are the sme people who drive like lunatics with kids at the wheel!! (OK no seat belts in those days)
PZU - Out of Africa
Visited the place in the last few years, and after the last time will only travel in Large vehicle - coach etc
