And I forgot to add that I get mistaken for a Filipino all the time so they dare to try and bully me.
NB: I said "try".

I suppose generally, SOME men are the same everywhere in the world and would use force and threats when they are not capable of winning a woman over.

Things are changing in Qatar for the better - I've been told that it's certainly better than a few (3-4) years ago - but things could be better.

The authorities have to really look into this. esp. since more countries are looking into investing here, people are certainly noticing and looking at Qatar. Even if the media is muzzled, how far can that go? Electronic means of communication connects the world. Word certainly gets out. So they need to keep ensuring that the word that gets out is positive.

Having said all of the above, Qatar is still GENERALLY safe. That's the operative word.
