edit - re: police - even if you did something wrong, do not be intimidated and go alone with any guy who claims to be police. Must still always have a lady or someone to go with you. If any problems, tell the officer arresting you that you will explain at the police station. Always remain in a public place.
Re: "In Qatar, women are respected a lot - only applies to the local qatari women." - No, women are generally respected. Even I whom people guess I look like I'm from China or Philippines but not where I'm actually from. Geez!
Anyway, it's how I carry myself. I dress modestly, etc. and keep a low profile. I do not cover my hair or wear a veil. Actually, I dress quite freely and comfortably but quite boringly - because I'm boring, you see so my definition of "freely" is "loosely" so I can eat all I want without having to be uncomfortable at looking awful and encouraging people to throw up, y'know. I'm happy and everybody's happy. Nobody bugs me.. so all's good.
