It's just not that hard. We are guests in the country. We don't make the rules, and it is in our best interests to know the rules, and to obey them. It's not like life is always fair in whatever country we came from.

Dexplorer, you caught a bad break with the over-conscientious security guard, and your post is a good warning to the rest of us that the winds of change are blowing. My husband doesn't even kiss me hello at the airport. We don't want any trouble.

Most of us are here for the jobs. Do your work, pay attention to the shifts in policy, keep your head down and find places where you can be yourself. There are churches here, there are interest groups, there are all kinds of things to do - even dancing and partying in private homes.

Like any place, your time here will be what you make of it. Don't let your experience cloud your vision. You can have a lot of fun here. It's a nice place.
