Hi @ all,

I am a european, but for some reason I get along very well with qataries... I must say I like to be in contact with native loacals, sicesince all westeners are just sort of drifting trough here.
Trought these frineds I learned a lot when it comes to respect and culture.

One of the key things in regards of dress code I have picked up now during ramadan.

Practically all westeners and asian dress appropriately in the eyes of qataries.

A big issue are the lebanese women, that are very fashion oriented and don't bother to show respect, since they have grown
up with a touch of arabic culture. Keep an eye open the next time you go out for the "provocative" dressed women and you will
see what I mean !

I don't want to pin anything on any nationality... there are "black sheeps" in every culture.
But a nationality that is part islamic should know better.

And some people have no sense at all... I saw some female joggers in tight jogging pants and just a tank top, jogging
arround the Bin Mahmoud area. I felt tempted to stop and give them a hint. But I have a feeling that some qatarie
will have harassed them enough during their journey.

Some people have simple no common sense.
