rules and regulations like this, don't faze me in the least. I am the last person to wear anything revealing, and I can count on my 1 hand how many times I have been to bars/nightclubs in this country.... so really its no skin of my nose... however....

I do think, that if Qatar intended on bringing regulations in like these, they should have been strict about it from the start. Its no good 'closing the door once the horse has bolted'...

If locals have been insulted by the way women dress, I can understand, I have been insulted by how some women dress - so I do get it... but come on, in bars/nightlights - as has been said previously, there are certain 'dress codes' to bar/nightclubs:-)

However, bars/nightclubs are not frequented by locals - so live and let live, but once they step outside, then by all means take them to task...

Actually Amoud, it could be argued, that due to Qatar's lengthy silence on the matter, they had made a statement on not really caring - but because a few locals (heaven knows where they saw scantily clad ladies in bars) complained, they figured it was time to voice their opinion...

Actually you gotta love it.... its almost like an election trick.... the goverment throwing bones over small issues, so the masses forget the big ones:-)

I love Qatar! (and there is no sarcasm in my words either)

Now if what I have posted here makes you think I am not happy here, and I can leave, then that's your problem - What it is, is my input to hopefully making Qatar a better country - but again - how you take it - is your problem.
