qatarisun - you absolutely have a point, it is strange but in other countries not that unusual.

However, from my perspective, I have never had so many men (local and otherwise) approach me in such an inappropriate way - particularly curb crawling, which might not be a criminal offence here but certainly is where I come from. Just a load of dirty perves if you ask me.

And before you say I must have been wearing something revealing, I certainly was not and I remeber, the time I was approached pushing my son in his pram, it was winter and at night and I was all wrapped up in warm long sleeved clothes.
