FAMILY DAY

in recent months, shoppimg malls here in doha like carrefor (city center & villagio) are introducing family day shopping during weekends like fridays. and now recently they are introducing on thursdays night time.

once you come in to this malls you should have your wife and children with you and they will let you in without any questions. or otherwise you should ask some ladies to come with you to let you in.

i found out that this ridiculous & obvious. like asian male bachelors the arrogant security guards will stop them. they are trained to be arrogant & adamant in this matter. no proper conduct & manners. but, if you are european, westerners, japanese, koreans, etc., going easily. it seems this the only people who come this shopping malls have the money to buy and can afford the stuff inside.

there are so many asian bachelors who would like to buy or dining-in in restaurants, because only fridays or thursday nights they are free because they are working in private companies. and this shopping mall are more accesible to buses & taxis.

it this case family day is introducing racism because asian usually are bachelors. it is very popular outside qatar is a free country to all nationalities around the world. that's why they won the first asian games in the middle east.

they should abolish this family day or introduce a dress a code to all shoppers like the Qube in ramada.

have a nice day & cheers
