Whoa, whoa WHOA, Trio; take it easy!! In response to this and the drinking post: What, am I not allowed to ask questions unless they pass some test first??! The REASON I'm asking about these seemingly "odd" or trivial things first is so that I DON'T come over there if I feel I'm going to get locked up or completely shunned for something that I know I may do.

Of course I am interested in other aspects of Qatar life, however, first and foremost I am interested in the translation of what may be an ordinary activity for me in my current location to an illegal action there, and rightfully so! Especially when it involves sacrificing typical past times or attitudes that people my age regularly participate in over here.

So "Rubbish" right back at ya.
