It is mad though that people keep coming to GCC in spite of the conditions etc, on construction sites people have mobiles, and call/sms back home, after about a year or two people back home should have been well aware of the reality. I can only assume there is a lot of saving of face involved and people not telling their families what it is really like. would i be right in thinking if in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh newspapers they showed the treatment of their people they would be very angry?
