as your wife in my old job out here - i was working with mainly men, indians, palestinians and pakistanis they were so rude and nasty to me and i spent the whole time fighting and shouting - it ended up in a big row with my boss who was palestinian with him calling me names and i ended up leaving! Now i work for another firm out here with a very broad range of people and everyone here respects me and no fighting.

your wife will get stared at out here but not as much as egpyt - and you certainly dont get treated rudely as a woman in every day life - its only when you tell the man hes wrong when they start being rude!

love life!
