sorry but you are seriously way to extreme.. this is not Afghanistan out here. Lay off the CNN and you might see better. (sorry but jeez ma'am)

I've been out here for 10 years.. my wife for 8 years (kidnaped her a couple of years after i arrived.. ha-ha).. both expats and both first time in the middle east and I have to say this is the safest place that i have ever lived in the world, i can also speak for my wife. (i dont allow her to speak.. hahaha)
there are millions of expats out here and every one lives relatively normal lives.. aside from the heat, and conservative dress, I do everything that we would normally do back in our home countries as does my wife (when i allow her.. hahahaha)

get out in the world lady, you'll soon see it's not a scary as CNN makes it out to be
