Crewmeal,
When in Rome ?
That is complete and utter bull
. A muslim country that is full of dish dash drunks drinking their chevis at various bars all over the UAE ( equestrian club in Al Ain for example) and for those that don't frequent the bars, they are the same guys who honk and demand service outside liquor stores ie.. Spinney's.
If the idiot drivers don't get ya here, the hypocracy certainly does. On a different thread someone made the statement that we're here mostly for financial reasons.. Majority rules its the ONLY reason !
When in Rome, you can beat, run over and leave a man for dead that is videotaped and be aquitted because your a sheikh but kissing or texting lands you in jail ?
There would be no " ROME" if it weren't for the 85% of expats who have made this country what it is.
